- Pro: The 10-metre lead cable is a massive plus for awkward outdoor spaces.
- Con: The bulbs are integrated, so individual units cannot be replaced if one fails.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Salty Siren, a coastal-themed pub in Whitby, wanted to make better use of its sea-facing terrace during the evenings. Their existing lighting was dim and unreliable, failing to create the warm, inviting atmosphere they needed to attract evening customers.
"We strung the Status Boden lights along the entire length of our terrace railings and through the pergola. The difference was instant. The place just comes alive at dusk now, and it looks so much more professional and inviting from the street below. We've had so many compliments."
Robert Davies – Owner, The Salty Siren
Since installation, the pub has seen a 35% increase in evening bookings for their outdoor tables, turning a previously underused space into a key revenue driver.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Plan your layout before you start hanging to ensure the 6.9m of lit length covers your desired area.
- Use the generous 10m lead cable to safely run power from an indoor or suitable outdoor socket.
- Secure the cable using guide wires, hooks, or cable ties, but avoid piercing the cable itself.
- Ensure the mains plug and transformer are kept in a dry location, either indoors or within a weatherproof socket box.
Keeping It Going
- Before storing, gently wipe the cable and bulbs with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dirt.
- Loosely coil the lights when packing away to avoid kinking the wire or damaging the LED connections.
- Store the lights in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prolong their lifespan.
- Periodically check the cable for any signs of wear and tear, especially if used in a high-traffic area.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I connect multiple sets of these lights together?
A: This model is a self-contained unit and is not designed to be connected end-to-end with other sets.
Q: Are the lights dimmable?
A: The brightness is not dimmable, but the 8 built-in functions include various patterns like fade and twinkle which can create a softer effect.
Q: What happens if one bulb goes out?
A: As these are LEDs, the rest of the string will continue to work even if one bulb fails. The bulbs are integrated and not replaceable.
Q: How 'cool' is the cool white light? Is it blue-ish?
A: It's a crisp, clear white light, similar to daylight, without a strong blue tint. It's perfect for a clean, contemporary look.
Q: What are the 8 functions?
A: The functions typically include Combination, In Waves, Sequential, Slo-Glo, Chasing/Flash, Slow Fade, Twinkle/Flash, and Steady On.
Q: How long is the section with the actual lights on it?
A: The lit length of the cable is approximately 6.9 metres, with the additional 10 metres being the lead from the plug to the first bulb.
Q: Is the transformer waterproof?
A: No, the IP44 rating applies to the light string only. The plug and transformer must be plugged in indoors or inside a certified weatherproof outdoor socket enclosure.
Q: Is the green cable very noticeable during the day?
A: The dark green colour is specifically chosen to blend in well with garden foliage, fences, and natural surroundings, making it quite discreet.

Explore more from StatusWhat Does an IP44 Rating Really Mean for Your Business?
You'll often see 'IP44' on outdoor equipment, but what does it actually mean? Think of it as a weather-resistance score. The first '4' means it's protected against solid objects over 1mm (like wires or screws), so it's safely constructed. The second '4' is the important bit for outdoor use: it means the lights are protected against water splashes from any direction. Essentially, they can handle a typical British rain shower without shorting out or becoming a hazard. It's not designed to be fully submerged in a pond, but for hanging on a wall, in a tree, or under a parasol, it gives you the peace of mind that a bit of bad weather won't spoil your sparkle.
