Solar Outdoor String Lights, Powered by the Sun
Solar power that actually lasts all night, every night. As solar string lights go, these are built to perform. A full day in the sun gives you up to 14 to 16 hours of warm light after dark, so your patio or garden stays lit long after the sun goes down. When the weather turns, top them up over USB-C and keep the evenings going.
Warm & Gentle Illumination: A golden 2700K warm white glow, the same warm, bistro-style light that makes a space feel considered. Warm enough to relax by, bright enough to set the scene, with two brightness levels to shape the mood.
All-Night Power: A long-life LiFePO4 battery holds charge for up to 14 to 16 hours on a full day of sun, so the light lasts as long as the evening does.
Truly Waterproof: Rated IP65 and built to handle rain, wind, and sun, season after season. Made for real outdoor conditions, not just fair-weather nights.
Effortless Installation: Ready in minutes with optional hanging clip, a ground stake, or wall screw fixings included. No wiring needed, and no electrician.
Dual Charging: Solar by day, USB-C when you need it. A self-cleaning solar panel with aerospace-grade ETFE coating keeps charging efficiently through the seasons.
Interconnectable Design: Link multiple sets end to end, up to 100 ft (30 m) on a single panel, and light a longer run from one connection.
Shatterproof & Safe: Durable S14 LED bulbs made shatterproof to resist knocks and drops, with two spare bulbs in the box.
Built to Last: Considered materials and a build made for the outdoors, backed by a 2-year warranty.
Patio Lights, Bistro Lights, Backyard Lights
From a quiet dinner on the patio to a garden filled with people, these festoon lights set the scene. As patio lights they turn a familiar space into somewhere people want to linger. Strung along a pergola, over a deck, around a backyard, or above a pool, they give that warm, cafe-style glow without a single plug. Pair them with a solar lantern on the table or a solar wall light by the door to layer the light across your whole space.
How to Hang Your Festoon Lights
Hanging festoon lights takes minutes. Plan the run first, then use the built-in clips, the included ground stake, or the wall screws to fix each end. Follow the four steps below.
- Plan the route: measure the distance and allow a gentle drape between fixing points for that relaxed, layered look.
- Fix the ends: mount the solar panel where it gets direct sun, then secure each end with the clips, stake, or wall screws provided.
- Hang and space: work along the run, letting the cable dip slightly between points so the bulbs sit evenly.
- Set and forget: switch on the dusk-to-dawn sensor, and the lights turn themselves on at dusk and off at dawn.

FAQ block
Q1. What are festoon lights?
Festoon lights, also called outdoor string lights or bistro and cafe lights in the US, are a string of evenly spaced bulbs on a single cable, designed to hang in gentle drapes across an outdoor space. The look comes from the bulbs themselves, warm and glowing, rather than a bright, functional floodlight. Litehouse festoon lights use warm white 2700K LED bulbs for a soft, golden effect.
Q2. Are these festoon lights waterproof?
Yes. These festoon lights are rated IP65 and waterproof, built to handle rain, wind, and sun, season after season. The bulbs are also shatterproof, so they stand up to real outdoor use.
Q3. Are solar festoon lights any good?
Solar festoon lights have come a long way, and the difference is the battery. Ours use a long-life LiFePO4 battery that holds a full charge and runs for up to 14 to 16 hours after a day in the sun, so you get warm light all evening with no wiring and no running costs. On cloudy days, you can top them up over USB-C.
Q4. How long do they run on a full charge?
After a full day of sun, they run for up to 14 to 16 hours. A single charge takes around 8 to 10 hours of daylight. Linking several sets together on one panel will shorten the run time per charge.
Q5. Do they turn on by themselves?
Yes. A dusk-to-dawn sensor turns the lights on automatically at dusk and off at dawn, so you can leave them to it. There is also a manual on and off switch when you want to take control.
Q6. Can I connect more than one set together?
Yes. The design is interconnectable, so you can link multiple sets end to end, up to 100 ft (30 m) on a single solar panel. It is an easy way to light a longer run from one connection.
Q7. Can I charge them on cloudy days?
Yes. As well as the solar panel, there is a USB-C charging option, so you can top the battery up indoors when the weather does not cooperate. The self-cleaning ETFE panel also keeps charging efficiently through the seasons.
Q8. Can I leave them outside all year?
Yes. With an IP65 waterproof rating and a build made for the outdoors, they are designed to stay out season after season. For the longest life, bring them in during extended hard frost or storms, and use the included storage bag when they are packed away.
