Ollny Curtain Fairy Lights (300 LED, 3m x 3m waterfall) – mains powered with remote, timer & 8 modes
Product description
What these curtain fairy lights are for
If you’re trying to dress a window, wall, or outdoor display without getting into fiddly battery setups, Ollny’s curtain fairy lights are built for exactly that kind of look. They’re a mains powered “waterfall” style string light set designed to hang like a curtain, with multiple drop strands that create an even fall of light rather than just one straight line.
On paper, the appeal is simple: mains power for stability and brightness, plus a decent set of control options (8 lighting modes, a remote, and a plug-based interface), so you can tweak the atmosphere without crawling around to find a switch every time. It’s not a smart-light system, but it does cover the practical “I want it to look good now” needs.
Key takeaways on the setup and controls
The set is mains powered and includes a 3m power cord and a main strand of 3m. It also comes with 10 drop strings, with 30 LEDs per chain, for a total of 300 LEDs. The wire is described as soft and transparent, which matters if you’re hanging it where the cables may be visible.
For lighting, there’s an 8 mode selection: - Steady ON - In Wave - Sequential - SLO-GLO - Chasing Flash - Fade - Twinkle Flash - Combination
You can switch modes either via the plug button or with the included remote. There’s also a dimmable element with 4 brightness levels, which is useful if you want a calmer “twinkle” look at night rather than something that’s bright enough to feel like a spotlight.
One thing that’s genuinely convenient: the timer has 3 settings (4 / 6 / 8 hours). There’s also a memory function, and the lights save the last mode setting, so you don’t have to reset it daily.
A small question to keep in mind: if your priority is a very specific cadence (for example, slow fade only), the “save last mode” feature helps, but you’ll still be choosing between the provided patterns.
What you’ll notice day to day (brightness, feel, and atmosphere)
Cool white light tends to look crisp and “festive” rather than warm and cosy, so this set leans more towards that brighter, clearer holiday vibe. The manufacturer positions mains powered fairy lights as more stable and brighter than alternatives, and that’s the expectation most people have when they choose plug-in curtain lights.
Because it’s a waterfall curtain style, the overall effect usually depends on how it’s hung. If the drops are allowed to fall freely and evenly, you get a more uniform curtain of light. If it’s bunched up or hung too tightly, the spacing can make the display look less “flowing” and more clustered.
Where it works best (and where it may fall short)
This set is described as suitable for bedrooms, windows, walls, and outdoor use, with a stated waterproof rating of IP44. It’s also designed to be safe to touch, and it uses low-voltage LEDs (31V) intended to remain cool even with prolonged use.
That combination makes it a practical pick for a wide range of occasions: - Outdoor garden displays - Christmas and festive window dressing - Parties and events - Weddings and stage-style decoration - Trees and wall/wall-window installations
However, it may not be the best match if you specifically need a warm white colour temperature or a much softer, candle-like glow. Cool white is great when you want clarity and sparkle, but it can feel less cosy than warm alternatives.
Also, if you’re looking for something that fully integrates with smart home routines, this is not positioned as a Wi‑Fi/app-controlled system—remote and timer cover the main day-to-day control.
Waterproof and safety notes to consider
The lights are stated to be waterproof (IP44) and “safe to touch”. The low-voltage claim (31V) is included to address heat concerns, and the set is described as eco-friendly with no irritating odour, which is relevant if the lights will be used near people, including kids and pets.
Worth noting: IP44 indicates protection for typical outdoor exposure, but you should still treat any mains-powered outdoor display sensibly—avoid submerging connections and keep plug areas protected from heavy direct water jets.

Is it worth it?
This Ollny curtain fairy lights set is a solid “buy for the effect” option if you want plug-in waterfall lighting with plenty of LEDs, multiple control modes, and the convenience of timer + memory. It suits people decorating windows and rooms, and it also makes sense if you want one set that can go from indoor use to outdoor garden displays thanks to the IP44 rating.
It might not be the right pick if your taste leans towards warm white ambience, or if you need a more advanced, smart home style of control beyond remote and timer. Also consider whether you’re comfortable working with mains power outdoors (even with IP44): it’s practical, but it does add a bit more “place it thoughtfully” responsibility than fully battery options.
