Straight Line v Loop Construction

We've been asked by a number of customers to explain the difference between "straight line" and "loop" construction.
For "straight line" construction imagine a piece of string with two ends. The lights would go all along the string and there would be a plug at one end. Lights made in this way are often called "string" lights and can be used in almost any situation indoors or outside - on Christmas trees, outdoor trees or plants, around windows, across a mantlepiece etc
For "loop" construction imagine joining the two ends of the string together to make a loop. Again the lights would go all along the string but the plug would be where the two ends come together. Lights made in this way are great for Christmas trees but if you want to use them in a line - say across a mantlepiece, or around a window - they will only reach to half the length of "straight line" lights.
All our lights, with the exception of our Classic Fairy Lights are made in "straight line" construction as we think this is the most versatile.
