About this department

What you'll find

Fairy lights and string lights; cluster and curtain lights; icicle lights; battery, USB and solar sets; candle bridges; light-up stars; and timers and extension accessories.

Good to know

UK mains electricity is 230 volts, so check the power type on each product page: mains plug, low-voltage adaptor, battery, USB or solar. Lights used outside must be made for outdoor use; look for the IP rating on the product page and plug them into a socket protected by an RCD. Our guide to how many lights a tree needs and our guide to Christmas lights safety in the UK explain more. Related departments: Trees, Tree Decorations, Outdoor Decorations and Wreaths & Garlands.

Frequently asked questions

How many lights do I need for a 6 ft tree?

Around 600 LEDs gives a classic, evenly lit look, using the rule of thumb of 100 lights per foot. Use fewer for a lighter look and more for a very full one.

Can I use indoor fairy lights outside?

No. Only use lights outdoors if the product page and the instructions say they are made for outdoor use.

Should I choose warm white or multicoloured lights?

It is a matter of taste. Warm white gives a soft, candle-like glow that suits most colour schemes, while multicoloured lights look brighter and more playful.
