Product description
The essentials
CORST’s plug-in curtain lights are made for that “waterfall” look over windows or open wall spaces, with 204 LEDs arranged as a curtain-style backdrop. You get a clear cable (about 5.0m from the lights to the plug) and a warm white glow that’s aimed at cosy indoor scenes, but the set is also described as suitable for covered outdoor areas thanks to an IP44 waterproof rating.
On paper, the real draw here is the combination of linkable power (so you can build a bigger display without extra connectors) and a remote-controlled timer with memory. It’s the sort of setup that suits everyday use as much as it does for Christmas—think bedrooms, living rooms, or window dressing where you don’t want to keep switching things on and off.
Key points
If you like decorating quickly and then leaving it to do its thing, these curtain lights are built around that idea: plug in, hang, and use the remote to set a timer. The memory function is also there for convenience—so if the power is cut and later restored, the lights are meant to come back with the lasting setting.
The linkable design is another practical feature. The set is described as connectable up to 3 sets using the female and male plugs, meaning you can expand the display using the included interlinking approach rather than relying on separate connectors. One limitation to keep in mind: the lights can work within about 8m from the plug when using the remote, so the positioning of the plug still matters.
What stands out in everyday use
The curtain format is designed to look like a hanging cascade across a window or wall backdrop, rather than a single string that you wrap around. That makes it easier to create a consistent “frame” effect—especially if you’re aiming for a uniform window glow.
There’s also the comfort of the stated low-voltage approach. The set uses a UK 3-pin plug and a low voltage transformer listed as 31V, with the description positioning it as safer for home use (always follow the included instructions for installation and indoor/outdoor use).
A small real-life example
If you’re putting lights up in a bedroom window, you can drape the curtain across the glass area, plug it into the wall, and set the remote timer for a cycle. You can then avoid manual control during the evening—6 hours on, 18 hours off—while still getting that warm, layered window effect.

Where it shines (and where it might not)
This set makes a lot of sense if you want a ready-made curtain look for windows or wall backdrops. It’s also pitched as being more winter-friendly due to anti-cold LED claims, and the IP44 rating suggests it can handle typical covered-weather conditions compared with unprotected indoor-only lights.
That said, it’s not perfect for every scenario. If you’re planning to use the lights in an area where they’ll be fully exposed to the elements, IP44 isn’t a guarantee for every weather situation. Also, if your plug point is awkward and you’re hoping the remote will work from much further away, the stated “about 8m from the plug” range is worth considering.
Buying verdict
It’s a good fit if you want plug-and-play curtain lights for a window or room backdrop, value timer control with memory, and like the idea of expanding the display by linking up to 3 sets.
It might not suit you if your installation needs require long remote reach beyond the stated range, or if you’re expecting a fully weatherproof solution for exposed outdoor use.
Worth considering if you want warm white ambience with a clear, consistent curtain effect—rather than a general-purpose string you have to arrange carefully.
Mini FAQ
1) Are these lights connectable without extra connectors?
Yes—according to the description, the sets can be connected with each other up to 3 sets using the female and male plug connections, so you don’t need other connectors.
2) How does the timer work?
The remote timer mode cycles the lights automatically: 6 hours on, then 18 hours off.
3) Do they remember the setting if the power is cut?
The description says they can remember the lasting setting after being cut off, and then work with that setting when power returns.
4) Can I use them outside?
The set is described as IP44 waterproof and suitable for use in settings like indoor room windows and covered outdoor decoration areas (for example, wall/gazebo style setups). If you’re planning heavy exposure to rain or weather, do check your specific conditions.
5) Is the remote actually useful for everyday use?
It’s meant to be used from up to about 8m from the plug (as described). If your plug location forces you to stand far away, you may find the range limiting.
