Nothing transforms an outdoor space quite like the warm glow of festoon lighting. Whether you’re looking to create a cozy patio, liven up an event, or add charm to your garden, festoon lights are the ultimate choice for atmosphere.
Festoon lights are more than just functional—they’re an experience. With the right bulbs and setup, you can create an outdoor space that’s warm, inviting, and beautifully lit for every occasion.
When it comes to lighting, quality matters. We’ve been using the same trusted supplier for 11 years, and our Festoons have stood the test of time in all weather conditions across New Zealand, even when left outside permanently, they remain in great condition. Customer feedback is that the quality and longevity is unmatched – the only maintenance is the occasional bulb replacement.
Classic, nostalgic, and cozy, vintage festoon bulbs give off a warm amber glow. These bulbs create a soft, inviting atmosphere and bring that timeless, Edison-style charm.
Light Quality: Softer, warmer glow than LED.
Energy Use: Higher than LED but worth it for the authentic feel.
Connection Limit: You can string up to 6 sets together.
Note: They do get warm to the touch and don’t match LEDs in energy efficiency or lifespan—but for vintage vibes, they’re unbeatable.
When it comes to hanging your festoon lights, the possibilities are endless. Each bulb fitting has a small loop to make installation easy. For spans over 4 meters, we recommend using wire for extra stability or our festoon poles.
Our festoon poles are easy to install, they push directly into the soil. They stand 270cm tall and are made from black powder-coated metal.
Festoons look beautiful framing a pergola - strung back and forth in straight lines or a zig zag pattern, or draped dramatically for events. See below for inspo!
