Consider Length
Size does matter when it comes to festoon lights, so be sure to consider the length of your space when choosing the right ones for your backyard.

Remember, it's always better to have a little extra length than not enough!
Weatherproofing is Key
Aussie weather can be unpredictable, so it's important to choose festoon lights that can withstand the elements. Look for lights that are weatherproof and built to last, with durable materials that can handle everything from scorching summer sun to torrential rain.
Ours are weatherproof and shatterproof, with a 1-year warranty.
Bulb Brightness
The brightness of your festoon lights can make all the difference in creating the perfect ambiance in your backyard.
Consider the wattage and type of bulbs you want - or get the experts to help.
Our festoon lights have warm white bulbs to create the best kind of ambiance, with four lighting modes so you can choose what’s right for your space at any given time.
Ease of Installation
Ain't nobody got time for complicated installations. When choosing festoon lights for your backyard, opt for ones that are easy to install and set up.
Look for lights with convenient features like built-in clips or hooks for hanging, as well as flexible cords that can be easily manoeuvred around trees, fences, and other obstacles in your outdoor space.

Connectivity and Extension
Planning to expand your festoon light setup in the future? Make sure to choose lights that offer connectivity and extension options. Look for lights that can be easily connected end-to-end to create longer strands, or ones that come with extension cords for added flexibility.
This will allow you to customize your lighting setup to suit your backyard layout and accommodate any future expansions.
