Fairylights

[FeelingSad4]

Morning, I thought the christmas thread would be the best place for this so counting on you all to save my sanity.

I have a pitched conservatory roof and have three beautiful paper star lanterns that hang. They have the cut out holes so light can shine through, BUT i am struggling to find fairylights that are

A. Small enough 20 to 40 would be enough
B. Long lasting - battery operated is a faff as I have to get stepladders out to turn them on or off, if i leave them on the batteries drain within a few days and im up the ladder again. I don't think solar lights would work as the roof is covered and the lights would be inside the lantern.

I think what i need is ambient lights that just come on when the natural light fades, saves battery power, and i don't have to faff so much.

Does anyone have any suggestions please? Thank you

Can you get solar fairy lights and tape the solar panel on the inside of the conservatory roof?

I used these in my front windows. A set of batteries always lasts all through December for me. They are on for 6 hours then off for 18.

Amazing thank you! Didn't even think of a timer, I presumed timers would just be on mains supply not batteries! These would be perfect! Unfortunately as the roof is covered, i don't know how much light will get in for tge solar panel. Thank you, knew mumsnet would solve for me!

These type of lights are battery operated and come with remote controls , there are lots of different types available.
