✦ Frequently Asked Questions — Curtain & Icicle String Lights
What is the difference between curtain lights and icicle lights?
Curtain lights hang in straight vertical strands of equal length, creating a uniform waterfall effect ideal for window frames and backdrops. Icicle lights have strands of varying lengths that mimic the look of hanging icicles, making them popular for rooflines, eaves, and holiday outdoor displays.
Can curtain lights be used outdoors?
Yes — select Jcfyoo curtain lights come with IP44 weatherproof rating, making them suitable for covered outdoor areas such as patios, porches, and garden pergolas. Always check the product listing for the IP rating before outdoor use. For indoor-only use, standard USB versions are available.
How do I hang curtain lights on a window?
Use removable adhesive hooks or a tension rod across the top of the window frame. Attach the top wire of the curtain lights to the hooks or rod, then let the vertical strands hang freely. For a clean look, tuck the power cable along the window frame edge using small cable clips.
