When the sun goes down, keep the patio, pergola or garden ready for people to enjoy.
You’ve spent time making your outdoor space somewhere you actually want to be — comfortable seating, a table for dinner, perhaps a few plants and decorations. Then evening arrives and the whole area disappears into darkness.
You don't necessarily need floodlights. You need something that makes the space feel welcoming.
These Mains-Powered Festoon Garden Lights with ST38 Bulbs are designed for exactly that. Their traditional festoon style and 2300K warm-white glow add a softer, cosy atmosphere to patios, fences, gardens, pergolas and other outdoor areas. Instead of making the lighting feel purely functional, the visible ST38 bulbs become part of the setting.
With options for 50ft (15m) or 75ft (22m), you can choose a length that suits your space. The longer version has 32 bulbs, while the shorter version has 25, giving you flexibility depending on how much area you want to decorate.
Outdoor lighting needs to cope with more than a dry summer evening.
These lights have an IP65 weather-resistant rating, with shatterproof plastic ST38 bulbs designed for outdoor use. That makes them a practical choice when you want to leave your lighting setup in place rather than treating it as something that only comes out for one special occasion.
They're also mains powered, so there's no reliance on rechargeable batteries or sunlight. The UK plug makes them straightforward to connect to a suitable outdoor power supply, while the included cable ties help with positioning. You also receive five spare bulbs and a spare fuse, useful little extras when you're setting up lighting that you intend to keep using.
And because the system is linkable, you have the option to extend your setup when your outdoor space calls for more coverage.
The real change comes when you switch them on.
A plain fence becomes a backdrop. A patio becomes somewhere to sit after dinner. A pergola takes on a completely different character. Even an ordinary evening at home can feel more considered when there's a warm glow overhead.
These aren't designed to turn night into day — and that's precisely the appeal. They're about creating atmosphere rather than harsh illumination, giving your outdoor space a reason to stay inviting after sunset.
Whether you're preparing for summer gatherings, adding warmth to a patio, decorating for a seasonal celebration or simply want your garden to look better in the evening, these festoon lights give you a practical way to create that feeling without changing the space itself.

These were purchased to go outside of our home. They look lovely, and several neighbours are remarked how nice they look
Delighted with these light that I use often. Something reassuring about them plastic and not glass.
Really great set of lights that did exactly what we needed them to.
""These lights are perfect for seasonal decorations like Christmas or autumn! I love that they're weatherproof and shatterproof, so I don’t need to worry about taking them down in bad weather.""
""""The lights are nice but not super bright. They're perfect for smaller spaces, but for larger gardens, you may need more than one set. The bulbs are a nice touch and feel durable, though.""""
""I was looking for a simple and effective way to light up my backyard, and these lights did the trick! They were easy to plug in and hang up, and they’ve worked perfectly through several rainy nights.""
""""These lights really add a touch of elegance to my garden. I love the warm white light, and they're waterproof, so no worries about leaving them outside. Highly recommend!""""

""""I used these for my Christmas tree and the lights are lovely. They're warm and inviting, which is exactly what I wanted. My only complaint is that they don’t cover a very large area if you want to spread them out.""""

Excellent addition to my craft room. I now have so much bright clear light over both my work tables. Can’t recommend enough!
Needed a replacement for a under pelmet lights, original been installing roughly 10+ yrs ago, wanted something easy to install this item did the trick
The spider and web are perfect for what we wanted, but paid for next day delivery on Monday 25th October and it finally was delivered on 29th October by Amazon in Amazon packaging!
Took quite a while to locate these replacement bulbs so ordered six to have in stock. Unfortunately two of the fittings are now not working so have two missing lights.
Great and prompt service,I have ordered 1 light to many how do I return it please
I found these lights so easy to remove out of the box - take the protection off and screw into the gutter. Immediately weeks and gets better with a little dose of sunshine
Bad connection and light pore quality
Ordered 2 lanterns - one works and one does not unfortunately. I am still waiting for either a refund or a replacement.
Absolutely beautiful light the picture doesn’t do it justice well pleased am ordering more love it !
The ceiling lights are great I bought them for my hall and they are nice and bright
Totally loving the LED Ceiling Light in the kitchen. EVERYTHING is so nice and bright. It makes cooking so much easier, somehow. What I found you don't get too much shadowing in the kitchen as it somehow even outs the light to make it feel like natural light. Would I recommend? Hell, yes! especially for those who have suffer with SAD ... absolutely perfect.
Nice and bright, easy to install. Does not quite sit flush with the ceiling though which is mildly annoying. Other than that, works a treat and does the job. Good price and super fast shipping.
Delivery on time and light working as usual! However the watts(36) is too high for small rooms and is very bright. Can a dimmer switch be used to control the brightness of this product?
Everything was fast and the light was great and it illuminated the room excellently
Perfect for task areas and spotlighting details.
