Their bigger size makes them far more visible than fairy lights, and means that they can be used as a source of ambient light in a space, as well as for decoration. Mains power is always an option, but if you’re lighting up an area where access to electricity is difficult, then solar powered festoons are great – you just need the solar panel to be in the sun for long enough to charge the battery. Adding glow to every day, and illuminating the special ones - we are the home of decorative lighting.

Festoon Lights - Lighting Direct

If you don’t have access to an outdoor socket, you might want to consider our battery leads which connect up to 30m of lights to leisure/car batteries.

And you wouldn’t expect us to have just one type of bulb, or one design – in our range, you’ll find different varieties of festoons to perfectly suit your home and garden. You’ll find a large amount of choice in our range, from the shape and size of the bulbs, the number of bulbs, and the colour of the bulbs. Supplied in 3m (10 Bulb) sections that can be easily joined together to brighten up any occasion both inside or outside.

Each 5m string features 10 multi coloured bulbs evenly spread along black cable and with 1 SMD LED inside each bulb, they are sure to add a vibrant glow to any space. Our Pro Connect range is premium quality lighting that can be left outside all year round, ideal for commercial use or a big garden project! If you’re hanging your festoon lights outside, then you’ll need to ensure you have the right safety rating – if they are to be completely exposed to the elements, then IP65 rated lights are the most weatherproof – and you can choose between glass and plastic bulbs. In fact, festoon lights can be completely free of electricity costs if they are intended to be used outdoors if you choose solar powered ones, which simply need the solar panel to be in the sun for a few hours, and they will run all evening. Creating a vintage feel, they are such feel good lights you will want to keep them up all year long.With simple connectors on the ends of each string, it's incredibly easy to connect them together to create the perfect length. Opt for the subtle warm white or party time multi coloured you will love them as soon as you see them. The cheerful look that festoons offer is perfect for brightening up homes and gardens year round, but especially during the run up to Christmas, and during the warmer months when using gardens into the evening. Opt for modern LEDs and you can rest assured they won’t use masses of energy and it will be quite some time before a bulb needs to be replaced. Ideal for garden parties and introducing a splash of colour to your venue, our new and improved Pro Connect festoons are a must-have!

Cheap to run and robust to use again and again, festoon lighting is the perfect addition to your celebration. Many of our range of festoons are now LED styles, and with smaller amounts of power required, there are several options for powering your festoons. Festoon lights first became mainstream in carnival settings and in industrial settings, where there were generators that could create the large amounts of power that they needed.

These Festoon Lights are supplied in 3m sections, with a 30cm gap between the 10 globes on each string.
