LED Curtain Lights: Sizes, Hanging Tips & Christmas Ideas

What are curtain lights?

Curtain lights are many strands of small LED lights hanging from one top wire, like a curtain. They cover a whole window or wall evenly, which normal string lights cannot do.

Which size do you need?

Measure your window or wall. A 3m wide × 2m drop set covers a standard window or the wall behind a bed. Slightly wider than the window looks fuller; strands can rest on the sill.

How to hang them without damage

Use small removable adhesive hooks or the curtain rail itself. Hang the top wire first, then let the strands fall and gently untangle them from top to bottom.

Best places to use them

Windows (great from the street), behind a bed as a glowing headboard, behind a sheer curtain, behind a TV, or as a backdrop for Christmas photos and video calls.

Remote and modes

A remote with several modes (steady, fade, twinkle, flash) makes them easy to use every evening. Steady warm white is the coziest for everyday use.
