Mains Powered Fairy Lights Built for British Weather

Every connectable ConnectPro® set runs on 240V mains power through heavy-duty rubber cable with built-in connectors, rated IP65 for prolonged use indoors and out. The sealed LEDs and thick cable shrug off rain and wind, so the sets can stay in a tree all winter or brighten a pergola, fence or balcony long after Christmas. Each 5m length carries 40 LEDs, enough to wrap a slim trunk or outline a short path, and our white cable string lights were named a Which? Best Buy for outdoor lights in 2022.

Static, Flash, Pinecone or Colour Changing?

  • Static string lights: nine colours on black cable, from warm white and vintage warm white to gold, pink and multicoloured, or warm white and white on white cable, which blends into white walls, fascias and painted fences.
  • Flash bulb string lights: 6 of every 40 LEDs flash at random for a gentle sparkle, in warm white or white.
  • Warm white with white flash: a warm glow lifted by 12 bright white flashing LEDs in every 10m.
  • Pinecone string lights: 50 larger pinecone-shaped LEDs per 10m for a bold, traditional look, in warm white, white or multicoloured.
  • Colour-changing string lights: 80 LEDs per 10m that slowly shift from one colour to the next.
  • 3m short sets: 24 warm white LEDs on white cable, sized for porches, small shrubs and window frames.

Planning Your Run

Most styles come in 5m and 10m lengths, while pinecone, colour-changing and warm white with white flash sets come in 10m. Every length arrives separately, so a 45m order is delivered as four 10m lengths and one 5m length, ready to plug together. No plug is supplied, so buy a ConnectPro® starter cable (£13.99) with your first order: it powers up to 7,600 LEDs, or 950m of standard string lights. The timer starter cable (£31.99) switches the display on for 6 or 8 hours a day and runs up to 70 sets of 5m. Extension leads, Y connectors and ring connectors are all in our ConnectPro® accessories.

Pair Them With the Rest of the Range

The same starter cable can also power ConnectPro® icicle lights along the gutter, festoons over the patio or cluster lights in the tree from the full ConnectPro® range, as long as the total stays within 7,600 LEDs. For a low voltage system with eight effects and a timer built in, see our ConnectGo® fairy lights instead.

ConnectPro® Fairy Lights FAQs

What's the difference between fairy lights and string lights?

The names are often used for the same thing: LEDs spaced along a single cable. "Fairy lights" usually means small, closely spaced bulbs, while "string lights" also covers larger bulbs such as festoons and pinecones. The ConnectPro® range includes both, from classic sets with 40 LEDs per 5m to bold pinecone bulbs.

How do you wrap fairy lights around an outdoor tree?

Start at the base, close to your socket, and spiral up the trunk with even gaps, then run the lights out along the main branches. Where the trunk divides, a ConnectPro® ring connector lets each branch take its own string. Leave a little slack rather than wrapping tightly, so the cable can move with the tree.

How many ConnectPro fairy lights can I connect?

One standard starter cable powers up to 7,600 LEDs: that's 950m (190 sets of 5m) of standard string lights or up to 1,500m of pinecone lights. The timer starter cable takes up to 70 sets of 5m. If you're mixing in other ConnectPro® lights, add up the LEDs and keep the total under 7,600.

Which colour fairy lights are the brightest?

White is the brightest, giving 180 lumens per 5m on our black cable string lights. Warm white, vintage warm white, multicoloured and green give 160, blue, pink and gold give 60, and red gives 40, so the deeper colours work best as accents rather than lighting a whole tree.

How do you hang fairy lights outside without nails?

Use clips on gutters and fascias, cable ties around branches and railings, and hooks along fences. Avoid nails and staples, which can pierce the cable. Our gutter hooks and clips and our guide to hanging Christmas lights without nails cover more options.
