"Icicle lights are the archetypal outdoor Christmas lights. Typically seen hanging from gutters or fascias, these are usually sold in connectable form, meaning you can tailor the length to fit your requirements. They are always among our best-sellers every Christmas season."

Product FAQ Section

Can I use these icicle lights outdoors in the UK's weather?

Yes, all our Christmas icicle lights are specifically designed and rated for outdoor use. They are built with durable, weather-resistant cables and sealed bulbs to safely withstand typical UK winter conditions, including rain, wind, and frost.

What's the difference between connectable and non-connectable icicle lights?

Connectable lights feature a unique plug-and-play system that allows you to join multiple sets together from a single power point. This is ideal for covering large areas like a long roofline. Non-connectable lights are single strings that require their own separate power source and are best for smaller, individual displays.

How do I know how many sets of icicle lights I need for my house?To determine the correct amount, first measure the length of the area you want to cover, such as your roofline or guttering. Our product pages specify the lit length of each set, so you can simply divide your total measurement by the length of the lights to find out how many you'll need.

Are LED icicle lights more energy-efficient than traditional bulbs?

Absolutely. LED icicle lights use up to 90% less energy than old-style incandescent bulbs, which means you can create a brilliant, vibrant display for a fraction of the running cost. They also have a significantly longer lifespan, saving you money on replacements year after year.

What is the best way to hang my new icicle lights?

The safest and most effective way is to use specific outdoor light clips or gutter hooks. These are designed to hold the lights securely in place without causing damage to your roof or gutters and can be easily removed after the festive season.

Can I mix different colours or styles of icicle lights together?

We do not recommend mixing different colour or style sets from different product ranges, as they may have different power requirements, connection systems, or LED technology which could lead to compatibility issues. For a cohesive display, we advise sticking to one range or a single, connectable system.

What are the best icicle lights for a classic, traditional Christmas look?

For a timeless, warm, and inviting display, we recommend our vintage warm white or warm white icicle lights. These are the most popular choice for creating that cosy, nostalgic Christmas feel.

What if a single bulb goes out on my LED icicle string?

Our modern LED light sets are designed so that if one bulb fails, the rest of the string will remain lit. This means you won't have to worry about a sudden dark patch in your display, and the string will continue to function perfectly.
