Views
The fringe garland is different. It is divided according to various criteria. You should familiarize yourself with them in order to understand which product is right for you. First of all, all garlands can be divided according to the type of food into such types as:
- solar powered;
- connected to conventional batteries;
- powered by a household network at 220V.
Products powered by solar panels and simple batteries are completely self-contained. They do not need to be connected to the network. Today, solar options are very popular, which in the daytime, with the help of special photocells, accumulate a charge from the sun, and at night they begin to glow.
Glow types
As a rule, such decorations are equipped with durable and economical LED bulbs. Such elements are expensive, but they easily pay off the high cost with their performance characteristics. LEDs in decorative fringe can be static, dynamic or flickering. It is worth taking a closer look at the types of glow.
- In popular copies with flickering (flash garlands) all the lights come on and off with a certain alternation, for example, every 5 from a branch. The specified light effect can be achieved using a special microcontroller without the need to install auxiliary components in the electrical system.
Approximately 15% of the lights in such a garland will glow with intermittent light.
- The simplest are the standard static options... In them, all the lights glow constantly - there are no additional lighting effects. Typically, these products are purchased for home installation. They are used to illuminate interiors.
- Products in which several modes are used at once are called Multi-chasing... Usually they come with a set of controllers that allow you to switch certain modes.
- A mode called Chameleon is a color play of lights. This effect is very similar to changing the colors of a chameleon skin - hence the name of the mode.

How to choose?
Despite the fact that a fringe garland is a common and affordable product, it should still be selected very carefully so as not to encounter a low-quality product (and there are a lot of them on sale today). In search of a suitable illumination, it is advisable to pay attention to several primary criteria.
- Choose only products made from high quality materials. So, the plastic case of decorations must be reliable and strong, especially when it comes to outdoor frost-resistant options. If you neglect this criterion, then the plastic in the garland can crack and damage the LEDs.
- An important parameter of the selected garland is its length. The standard sizes are from 5 to 20 m.In some stores, you can find more impressive specimens, the length of which is 50 m.
To opt for a suitable option, you need to measure the base on which you plan to hang the luminous fringe. It is advisable to buy illumination with a small margin.
- If you are looking for a garland for outdoor installation, then you should definitely inquire about its moisture resistance level. Models that will work properly in low temperatures and atmospheric precipitation are marked with the letters G and R. Usually, these designations are indicated on the branded packaging with illumination. If the box contains the letter N, this means that the decoration is not intended for use outside the home.
- Inspect all the wires and connections of the garland before you buy it. These parts must not be damaged or dented. LEDs must be attached to the base conscientiously. If you notice that the lights on the garland are loose and do not hold very tightly, then it is better to refuse the purchase - such a decoration will not last long.
- It is important to pay attention to the branded packaging with a garland. It should not be wrinkled or badly damaged. Such defects may indicate improper storage and transportation of the product. In such conditions, not only the packaging could suffer, but also the garland itself. In order not to take risks, you should not buy such models.
- Decide in advance what kind of light effect you want to get from the purchased lights. In stores, you can find a variety of options - from static to flashing. In this case, the choice is only yours. You just have to make sure that the option you choose will not cause irritation.
- Try to choose only branded fringe garlands.In this case, the risk of acquiring a low-quality and short-lived product will be minimized. Of course, most likely, this model will cost more, but it will not cause problems and will delight others with its bright radiance for a long time.
