Our chinese lantern white cord kits...
If you want to illuminate your Chinese hanging lanterns, with mains power, rather than with our battery powered LED units, our UK cord kits provide a great solution.
Our lighting cord kits have an on/off switch, a standard Bayonet light fitting (B22)/UK plug, and a 2 meter cable.
The hanging lantern cord kit is CE safety marked and for indoor use only. The maximum bulb wattage is determined by the size of Chinese lantern that it will be used to illuminate, however, even small style bulbs with a low 15-25w illuminate our “lighter” coloured lanterns very effectively.
The following guidelines must be adhered to when illuminating your lanterns with mains electric bulbs (the wattage indicated is the maximum that can be used with the lanterns): 8" to 10" - 40W, 12" to 16" - 60W, 18" to 22" - 100W, 24" - 150W, 30" - 200W and 36" - 300W.
IMPORTANT: Ensure that the selected bulb does not exceed the maximum rating of either the lantern or the lamp/light fitting which the lantern is fitted to. The light bulb MUST be positioned in the middle of the lantern, and the lantern should be at least 6.5 inches (16.5 cm) from the ceiling.
Our cord kits do not come with bulbs, and these should be purchased from the website separately, or from an alternative source.
