Festoon Lights

If you’re on the lookout for outdoor lights with big bulbs and bags of character, get yourself some festoon lights. This outdoor lighting is the preferred choice for many, since they’re perfect for brightening up backyards, patios and balconies, and add ambient lighting to BBQs and garden gatherings.

Mains-powered connectable festoon lights from Festive Lights can also be used indoors and are ideal for spaces of any size. You'll also find LED battery and solar powered festoon lights within our range.

Pair your outdoor lights with a festoon light pole or drape or fix them on fences, trees or on buildings. For the summer months, solar festoon lights provide the ideal garden lighting solution, along with other solar lights. In the winter months, maximise your light display by adding more practical lighting, such as outdoor fairy lights. There are festoons to suit every taste and style, with various filaments and colours available – warm, white festoon lights are always popular.

Have your lightbulb moment with weatherproof festoon lighting

LED weatherproof FestoonPro® lighting is the ideal solution for garden illumination because it's equipped to withstand outdoor conditions. Outdoor festoon lights feature large, globe-shaped bulbs that come in a traditional, Edison light bulb shape, as well as filament-style LEDs for a vintage aesthetic.

If you’re looking for hassle-free garden lighting for summer gatherings, then festoon light poles are ideal. They add a glorious ambient glow to an outdoor area – and with no wiring required, and not much in the way of running costs, they are a simple, economical solution.

Festoon lights from Festive Lights also come in a range of belt lengths, and we have connectable festoon lighting which allows you to easily extend their reach. This is a great option if you’re looking to incorporate string lights across a large space. You can also choose different drops with our B22 or E27 festoon belts to add depth to existing lighting displays.

Where to hang your garden festoon lights

Whether you want to hang your festoon lights outdoors or inside your home, the opportunities are huge. Wherever they are placed, you can enjoy the retro charm of traditional bulbs with all the benefits of modern LED technology.

There are no rules when it comes to hanging your festoon garden lights, but a few popular places include:

  • Along fences: Illuminate your garden from corner to corner by hanging festoon lighting across every post.
  • Down the garden path: Never worry about tripping in the dark again by framing your outdoor paths with festoon light poles.
  • Across the patio: String your festoon lights canopy-style to create a warm and inviting space that guests can't wait to relax in. 
  • Draped from a pergola: For special occasions such as outdoor weddings and birthdays, drape festoon lights across the ceiling to exude a subtle yet romantic glow.

How to install festoon lights

Don't worry, festoon outdoor lighting is amazingly simple to fit. Depending on how you want to display your festoon lights and where they will be placed, there are a variety of different ways to install them.

Most of our festoons have a handy hook, which can be used to securely attach each bulb via cable tie. You can then secure the cable tie to a fence or pergola, for example. Another option is to use a festoon pole and wire to hang your lighting. Some festoon lights have screw holes in the base of each bulb, so they can be secured by screwing them into a suitable surface.
