Christmas & Fairy Lights

Christmas and fairy lights here are LYYT LED sets for festive, party and year-round decoration: string and cluster lights, icicle lights, net lights for hedges, trees and windows, berry lights, long string reels, festoon lights for marquees, gazebos and paths, and battery sets that need no mains socket. Colours include warm white, cool white, amber and multicolour, and most sets are IP44 rated.

Choosing Christmas & Fairy Lights

Decide where the lights will hang, whether a mains socket is near, and how long the run needs to be.

String and cluster lights

The 960 LED cluster lights, such as the 155.381UK, run along 14m of dark green cable, with 8 lighting effects and a timer. The 200 LED 10m sets such as the 155.465UK suit indoor and sheltered outdoor use. For open outdoor runs, heavy duty sets such as the 155.404UK and 155.406UK use UV-resistant black rubber cable, and the 45m reels such as the 155.654UK carry 1500 LEDs with a remote control.

Icicle, net and berry lights

Icicle-style strings such as the 155.444UK are IP44 rated for outdoor use, net lights such as the 155.576UK drape over hedges, trees and windows, and the 155.652UK berry lights put 200 multicolour 14mm berries along 20m with a remote control.

Festoon and battery sets

The 155.680UK and 155.681UK festoon lights hang 10 LED bulbs from a power adaptor that must stay indoors, and sets connect together for longer runs around a marquee or along a path. The 155.611UK, 155.612UK and 155.613UK are 120 LED battery strings that run on 3 AA batteries (not supplied) in a weatherproof box.

Frequently asked questions

How do you choose outdoor Christmas lights?

Choose sets made for outdoor use, with a rating such as IP44 and a tough cable that copes with rain and sunlight. Plan the run around the nearest weatherproof socket, and keep any plug-in adaptor indoors if the maker requires it. Battery sets suit spots with no socket nearby. The range here includes heavy duty string, icicle, net, berry and festoon lights.

Which lights suit a Christmas window display?

Net lights and icicle-style strings suit a Christmas window display, as they spread light evenly across the glass or hang in a neat line along the top. Cluster and string lights can also outline the frame. Where a set has a built-in timer, it can run the display for a set number of hours a day. The range here includes net, icicle, cluster and string lights.

How do you put lights on a Christmas tree?

Start near the base of the tree, close to the socket, and work upwards, weaving the string in and out along the branches rather than just round the outside. Test the lights before you begin, and spread them evenly as you go. Cluster lights give a dense, full look on a larger tree. The range here includes cluster lights and long string light reels.
