You can choose of USB or USB + adapter block when choosing your lightstring. If you choose to only do USB, this means that you will receive a stringlight that has a USB output as its end and not a plug. You put this USB output in a power bank. It is also possible if you already have a connection block at home (for example from a phone charger from Iphone or Samsung) where it is possible to replace the USB output, that you plug in the USB of our lightstring.

With a narrow long object, such as a satay pick or a knitting needle, you can gently push out the dents in the cotton ball and it will become nicely round again.
