Indoor Festoon Lights

Yes, all our indoor festoon lights are perfectly safe and designed for continuous, long-term use inside your home. They utilise cool-running, energy-efficient LED bulbs which produce very little heat compared to older incandescent types, making them an excellent choice for a permanent, ambient lighting solution.

The main difference lies in power rating and scale. ConnectGo® is designed for domestic use, allowing runs of up to 100 metres from one plug, while ConnectPro® is a heavy-duty, commercial-grade system that can handle even longer distances and is built with thicker, more durable rubber cabling, making it suitable for both professional and large-scale home projects.

To calculate the length, first measure the perimeter or the specific area you plan to cover. For a pleasing draped effect, which is how most people hang indoor string lights, we recommend adding approximately 20-25% to your base measurement to account for the swag and drop between fixing points.

Absolutely. We offer a fantastic selection of battery powered festoon lights that are perfect for smaller areas like shelves, decorative arrangements, or rooms where electrical sockets are inaccessible. They require standard AA or C batteries and feature built-in timers, often 6 hours on and 18 hours off, to maximise battery life.

The majority of our festoon sets use non-replaceable, integrated LED bulbs which are highly efficient and have an exceptionally long life (often 20,000+ hours). Our professional FestoonPro® and some ConnectPro® systems, however, utilise an E27 screw-in socket, allowing you to easily replace or swap the bulb for a different style or colour.

No. Always check the IP rating. Sets explicitly listed as "Indoor Festoon Lights" are not designed to withstand rain or humidity. Look for products marked "Indoor Outdoor" or featuring a high IP rating (IP44 or above) if you plan to use them permanently outside or for garden use.

Twinkly festoons offer full RGB control and smart features. Using a smartphone app, you can map the lights, select from pre-set effects, create your own custom patterns, and choose millions of colours. This is a great feature for themed events or for changing your lighting with the seasons.

Since they use highly efficient LED technology, the running cost is very low. A typical 10-metre set might draw around 6-10 watts of power. Running this set for 6 hours a day would likely cost less than 5 pence per week, making them an incredibly cost-effective way to illuminate your home.

For most integrated LED systems (like ConnectGo®), a single bulb failure will not affect the rest of the string as they are wired in parallel. If you have a system with replaceable E27 bulbs (like FestoonPro®), you simply unscrew the faulty bulb and replace it with a new E27 LED bulb of the correct voltage.

We offer a standard 14-day no-quibble return or exchange policy from the date of purchase. As long as the Indoor Festoon Lights are returned in their original condition and packaging, you'll be eligible for a full refund or to exchange them for a more suitable colour or length.
