Copper seed & solar string lights for outdoors

Our stunning copper seed lights add warmth and charm to any outdoor setting. Available with 100, 200, or 300 LEDs, these string lights can be shaped to fit any area. Choose cool or warm white LEDs that won't overheat, making them safe to touch and perfect for creating cosy atmospheres. For no-hassle lighting, our Solar Party Lights deliver up to 12 hours of radiant charm on a single charge. With Edison-style plastic LEDs, these solar-powered fairy lights will infuse your backyard with instant character and warmth. Featuring built-in light sensors and full weather protection, our stunning collection of twinkly lights is ideal for winding through trees, hanging from marquees, decorating pergolas, or creating centrepieces for dinner parties and special occasions.

Festoon lights & accessories for weddings, events or home

Create breathtaking event spaces with our commercial-quality festoon lights, ideal for wedding marquees and garden parties. These striking globe-shaped outdoor string lights provide ambience and practical illumination in various options, including 5m strings with 10 bulbs or 15m with 24 bulbs. Choose from warm white, multicolour, or vibrant red options. Our durable 4W LED filament bulbs cast a flattering glow that brings any gathering to life.

Is it safe to leave fairy lights on all night?

Modern LED fairy lights are generally safe to leave on overnight due to their low heat output and minimal power consumption. LED technology has significantly reduced fire risks associated with decorative outdoor lighting, but it's still good practice to occasionally check connections on any permanent installations. Our solar fairy lights offer additional peace of mind with built-in light sensors that automatically turn them off when the sun rises and activate them again as darkness falls, creating a convenient ‘set and forget’ lighting solution.

Where should I avoid putting fairy lights?

For optimal safety and performance, keep the connection points of your fairy lights and festoon lights protected from direct rain and avoid submerging them in water, even with IP-rated products. Don't place fairy lights near flammable materials or heat sources; follow maximum connection limits (typically three sets for festoon lights). While our weather-resistant string lights can handle New Zealand's varied climate, proper installation ensures the longest lifespan for your outdoor lighting.
