Product FAQ Section

Are these outdoor Christmas lights safe to use in the British weather?

Yes, absolutely. All our outdoor Christmas lights are specifically designed and manufactured to be weatherproof and durable. They have a minimum IP44 rating, which means they are protected against water splashing from any direction and are safe for use in rain, snow, and wind.

How do your connectable Christmas lights work, and how many can I link together?

Our connectable lights, part of the ConnectGo® and ConnectPro® systems, use a simple plug-and-play design. Each set has a male and a female connector, allowing you to link multiple strings together from just one power source. The maximum number of lights you can connect depends on the system and the wattage of the bulbs, but you can typically create very long runs, often up to 100 metres, providing immense flexibility for large displays.

What's the difference between string lights, cluster lights, and icicle lights?

String lights have LEDs spaced evenly along a single cable, perfect for wrapping trees or railings. Cluster lights have a much higher density of LEDs, with short offshoots from the main cable, creating a more intense, 'clustered' sparkling effect, ideal for dense bushes or covering large areas quickly. Icicle lights feature vertical drops of varying lengths from the main cable, perfect for hanging from guttering or rooflines to create a classic, cascading look.

Can I use these outdoor lights all year round, not just at Christmas?

Yes, many of our high-quality lights are perfect for year-round use. Our festoon lights, in particular, are incredibly popular for illuminating gardens, patios, and pergolas to create a wonderful ambiance for summer evenings. With their durable construction and robust IP rating, they can be left outside safely throughout the year.

What is the best colour for outdoor Christmas lights?

The best colour depends on your desired style. Warm white lights provide a classic, cosy, and inviting glow, while cool white lights offer a crisp, modern, and icy feel. Multi-coloured lights are perfect for a fun, vibrant, and festive look. We offer a wide range of options so you can choose the perfect hue to complement your home's exterior and existing decorations.

Do your lights come with a timer?

Many of our outdoor Christmas light sets feature a built-in timer function. This convenient feature allows you to programme the lights to turn on for a set number of hours (e.g., 8 hours on, 16 hours off) and then repeat the cycle automatically every day. This saves energy and means you don't have to remember to switch them on or off.

Are LED Christmas lights really more energy-efficient than traditional bulbs?

Yes, LED (Light Emitting Diode) bulbs are significantly more energy-efficient than older incandescent bulbs. They use up to 90% less electricity, meaning you can have a large, stunning display without a huge impact on your energy bills. They also last much longer and stay cool to the touch, making them safer.

What is your returns policy for Christmas lights?

We want you to be completely happy with your purchase. If you need to return your outdoor Christmas lights, please refer to our full returns policy, which can be found on our website. Generally, we accept returns of products in their original, unused condition within a specified period, offering a full refund or exchange.

Can I buy replacement bulbs for your connectable lights?

For most of our connectable lighting systems, the LED bulbs are non-replaceable as they are sealed units to ensure maximum durability and waterproofing. This design ensures that if one bulb fails, the rest of the string remains lit, so your display won't be ruined. This is a key benefit of modern LED technology.
