Solar fairy lights are the easiest way to turn a plain patio or garden into somewhere worth staying. Our Solar Festoon Bulb String Lights run entirely on solar power, so there is no wiring, no electrician, and no extension lead to run across the garden. A full day in the sun gives you up to 14 to 16 hours of warm, 2700K light after dark, held by a long-life LiFePO4 battery that keeps performing season after season.

Every set is interconnectable, so you can link multiple runs together and light a longer stretch of fence, pergola, or decking from a single solar panel. The bulbs are shatterproof and the build is rated IP65 waterproof, built for real outdoor conditions rather than a fair-weather evening, whether you know them as outdoor fairy lights, solar string lights, or festoon lights outdoor.

Hang them along a pergola, drape them across a patio, or run them the length of a garden fence. Set the dusk-to-dawn sensor once and the lights take care of themselves every night after. For the full walkthrough, see our guide on how to hang fairy lights, and if you are weighing battery life, are solar fairy lights any good covers the real numbers.

Frequently asked questions

What are solar fairy lights?

Solar fairy lights, also sold as outdoor string lights, are a run of evenly spaced bulbs on a single cable, designed to hang across a patio, pergola, or garden fence for warm, ambient light. Litehouse solar fairy lights use warm white 2700K LED bulbs and run entirely on solar power, so there is no wiring or electrician required.

Are solar fairy lights any good?

Yes, when the battery is right. Litehouse solar fairy lights use a long-life LiFePO4 battery that holds up to 14 to 16 hours of light after a full day of sun, so they perform night after night rather than fading after a season. A USB-C backup covers cloudy days.

Do solar fairy lights have batteries?

Yes. Litehouse solar fairy lights are built around a long-life LiFePO4 battery rather than a disposable one, charged by the built-in solar panel with a USB-C backup for cloudy stretches, so there is nothing to replace season to season.

How long do solar fairy lights last?

On a full charge, Litehouse solar fairy lights run for up to 14 to 16 hours after dark. The LiFePO4 battery and IP65 waterproof build are designed to hold that performance for years, not just a single season.

Can I connect multiple sets of fairy lights together?

Yes. The design is interconnectable, so you can link multiple sets end to end for up to 100 ft (30 m) of light from a single solar panel, useful for lighting a longer fence line or a bigger garden.
