Weatherproof festoon lighting – have your lightbulb moment!

LED festoon lights feature large, globe shaped bulbs that come in a traditional, Edison light bulb shape, as well as a variety of other shapes and sizes, with some adopting a filament style LED for a vintage aesthetic. If you’re looking for hassle free garden lighting for summer gatherings, then solar or battery festoon lights are the ideal solution. With no wiring required, and not much in the way of running costs, they add a glorious ambient glow to an outdoor area.

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 the reach of your festoons. This is a great option if you are looking to string lights across a large space. You can also choose different drops with our B22 or E27 festoon belts to add depth to existing festoon lighting.

Where to hang garden festoon lights

Whether you want to hang your festoon lights outdoor, or inside your home, the opportunities are near limitless. Wherever they are placed, they are sure to bring a feel-good ambience, with all the retro charm of traditional bulbs, but the benefits of modern LED technology. Popular places to hang festoons are along fences, swagged Love Island canopy style across a garden, or hanging from a pergola; we also see them being used regularly in venues for wedding and event lighting, typically draped across the ceiling.

How to install festoon lights

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 would be to use a festoon pole to hang your festoons. Placing several poles along a path provides the ideal location to swag festoons and creates a beautiful illuminated walkway. Some festoon lights even have screw holes in the base of each bulb, meaning you can secure them in place by screwing them directly into a suitable surface.
