100 Light LED Fairy Lights 2700k, 5500k, Blue in 10 Metres

Festoon lighting is a run of lamps on a single flexible lead, strung rather than fixed. It is the light of courtyards, marquees, bars and outdoor dining - decorative first, functional second.

The effect comes from the line the run traces, so how it is hung matters more than what each lamp does. An even catenary between two fixed points reads as deliberate; an uneven one reads as temporary, even when the fittings are identical.

Plan the suspension before the lighting. Festoon runs are heavier than they look once strung, and they need something structural at each end rather than whatever happened to be nearby.

Light output and colour

It draws 6W.

The colour temperature is 2700K, 5500K.

Where it can be installed

At IP65 this fitting is rated for full outdoor exposure - rain, hosing and weather.

⚠ A weather rating is not a corrosion rating, and the two are confused constantly. The IP number describes water and dust ingress; what survives a coastal site is the material and the finish, and that is the thing to check within a few kilometres of the sea.

It is made from pvc.

Powering and installing it

This is a 24V fitting, so it runs from a driver rather than directly from mains. Size the driver to the total load of every fitting on the run, with room to spare - a driver working at its limit runs hot, and heat is what shortens its life.

Low voltage is the usual choice in a garden because the cable is safer to run and easier to extend later. The trade is voltage drop: a long run gets dimmer towards its far end, and the answer is a shorter cable path or a heavier cable rather than a bigger driver.

Plan the cable route before anything is fixed. It is the part of an installation that cannot be changed afterwards without undoing the rest of it, and it is the reason otherwise finished jobs get left half done.

Before you order

Two checks save most of the problems that show up after an installation is finished. The first is where the fitting will actually be seen from: a light chosen for how it looks in a product photograph is being judged from a viewpoint nobody will ever stand in, and the same fitting can be discreet from the house and glaring from the street.

The second is what else is going in around it. A single fitting is rarely the whole scheme, and matching colour temperature and finish across everything in a space matters more to the result than the specification of any one item in it. Mixed colour temperatures in particular read as a fault rather than as a choice.

If you are unsure whether this suits what you are lighting, our team at Lights For You will talk it through against the actual space rather than the specification sheet.

Specifying and pricing this

This is part of the Havit Commercial range, which is priced on application rather than listed. Use the enquiry button on this page and we will come back with pricing for the quantity you need.

Commercial fittings are usually specified in quantity against a lighting plan, where the count, the colour temperature and the control method all have to agree across the job. We can check a schedule against what is actually available before it is issued.

⚠ Confirm availability before a specification is issued. Commercial ranges change, and a product written into a drawing that is no longer stocked is a change order later, when it is far more expensive to fix.
