Why Choose LED's for Outdoor Decorations or Christmas Lights?


 

Click here NOW to view our LED range

LED's ( Light Emitting Diodes) are incredibly bright, 3 x times brighter than traditional Christmas lights, and this makes them ideal for a wide range of situations, offering much greater impact and appeal than subdued traditional bulbs. LED's emit vividly coloured light, each colour being bold and intense. The impact of an LED bulb can be different depending on the end cap used. If a curved end cap is used then the light produced would be different to a squared one. All of our outdoor LED's have a curved cap for what we feel is a better look. The brilliance of colour makes LED lights ideal for any occasion, especially suited for both outdoor and indoor use.


LED lights (in rubber cable) are the ideal choice for outdoor decorative or Christmas lighting - especially to withstand the rigours of the British Winter.  LED bulbs are a diode - i.e. a circuit rather than a traditional filament bulb. 'Filaments' have that nasty habbit of breaking with impact - which does not happen with LED's. They are tough, hardy and durable and can easuily stand up to knocks and bumps and high winds.  If you are looking for outdoor lights - then choose products that are designed for outdoors, such as our rubber cabled professional quality LED outdoor fairy lights. Rubber cable is better than PVC for flexibility and durability , and our LED bulbs are doubled sealed against the elements


LED lights are available in all traditional formats, making them truly versatile and practical. LED Icicle Lights are perfect for hanging along house roofs, but can be used virtually anywhere including garages, windows, gazebos, let your imagination run free! See the picture of our kindly donated house where we dressed string, icicle and curtain lights all from one plug! Also we popped a connectable rope light star at the top of every blue tree. LED Rope lights offer extreme flexibility and function, they are literally clear rubber ropes with LED's running through the centre. LED String Lights are extendable and inter connectable, these form a single long line of lights. LED Curtain & Net Lights give real impact to otherwise dull walls or windows, they are not single lines of lights instead cover a whole area. LED Fairy and Christmas Lights are perfect to brighten any Xmas tree, providing copious amount of light and colour.

SAVE  up to 90% on Electricty Consumption with LED lights - and help the environment.

LED fairy lights use on average 90% less power than traditional decorative lights. The new generation of 2009 LED's are even more economical with some claims that the newest bulbs developed are almost 99% energy efficient in comparison to traditional filament bulbs.  Electrical running costs are reduced, not only reducing the demand placed on your household energy consumption but feel good knowing you are saving the environment too. 

The other major advantage of LED lights is that you can connect multiple sets together from only one plug. Our Amber or RED LED outdoor connectable lights have 100 LED bulbs over 10 metres - rubber cable of course. They use only 4.6 watts per set !!!!  - which means you can connect as many as 120 sets - thats 1200 metres of cable (1.2 Kilometres) with 12,000 lights from a standard UK plug and still use less power than 6 x 100 watt bulbs !!!!  How cool is that.

For more details see our ebay shop or our main lights4fun website   All our LED products share the same connectors so you can add different products such as Net Lights, Curtain Lights etc - all from the same plug.   

 

Long LED Bulb Life- expect 100,000 hours from a good quality LED bulb.

LED bulbs last up to 10 times longer than standard lights. If it's a high quality LED bulb you can expect 100,000 hours of continuous use - thats 11.4 years !!!  LED's are now only slightly more expensive than normal decorative lights - so why buy anything else ?

The traditional problem of blown bulb, finding and replacing those which have broken, and the inconvenience and unsightly appearance of multiple failed bulbs isn't an issue with LED's. With such a long bulb life you can be sure of a fully functioning set of lights, which if in rubber cable can be happily left outside requiring no maintenance and minimal routine care.  Enjoy your LED lights. If you need any further help, information or advice please call 01423 857 888.
