Christmas lights and decorations are essentials throughout December, and when it comes to Christmas lighting, trends come and go, but the classics – multicoloured lights, red and green, and white – will always be in style. We’re huge fans of traditional colours, but we also love the trending pastel fair lights for a pretty twinkle, and we love an icy blue light too. Whichever style of lighting you love for your home, we’ve got all the festive lighting you need in our range of Christmas lighting.
Modern Christmas lights
Modern homes need modern Christmas lighting – don’t they? Well, that’s a matter of opinion, but if you’re looking for a modern take on Christmas lights, look for fairy lights in unusual colours, shapes, and drapes. We have so many more options to choose from, but we’re sure you’ll love our picks for your home.
The Edit 1.2M Star Warm White LED Curtain String Lights make a wonderful feature – they look gorgeously warming along a mantel piece. The Festive Glow Worm 18.98M Pastel LED Multi-Function String Lights are a fantastic alternative to traditional coloured, or plain white fairy lights, or for a dreamy effect, the Sirius 1M Trille Horsetail LED Silver Micro Wire Fairy Lights are a great option.
Traditional Christmas lights
If traditional Christmas lights are your preference, there are loads of options available to you. Fairy lights are amongst the most traditional, and you’ll find hundreds of options in our range, but for an even more traditional welcome to your home, dress your front door.
The Sirius Alfi Battery Operated LED Outdoor Christmas Wreath looks gorgeous and can be dressed further for even more tradition – and why not pair it with the Sirius Anton 5FT Snowy LED Outdoor Christmas Tree for a really traditional look? If you fancy something a little extra for a grand entrance, we love the Edit Ultimate Christmas Battery Operated LED Decoration Set, which has two miniature artificial Christmas trees in pots, an artificial wreath and an artificial garland – everything you need to create a fantastically festive entrance for your family.
Lanterns are a gorgeous way to light up your Christmas decorations, and we’ve got some beauties in our range. The Kontstsmide range has perfectly festive options, including the Father Christmas Battery Operated LED Lantern, and the Battery Operated LED Bell Jars, which come in large and small. If you’re looking for a lantern that can be part of your décor year round, the Edit Bulb Battery Operated LED Lantern is a perfect choice.
If you’re looking for a way to incorporate candles into your Christmas decoration without the risks of naked flames, then battery powered LED candles should be on your shopping list. Our Sara Slim Battery Operated LED Wax Flicker Candle is a minimalistic option, the Konstsmide Battery Operated LED Wax Dining Candles are perfect for your Christmas table, and the set of two of the Sirius Sara Mini Battery Operated LED Wax Flicker Candles are great for extra twinkles where you want them.
Fun Christmas lighting
Maybe you have children in your life, or maybe you’re just a big kid when it comes to Christmas, then your lighting is where you can really make the most of your Christmas decorations. The Edit Present 20 LED Feature Light with Remote Control is a great way to light up the base of your Christmas tree before Santa visits, and there’s a larger size too, for an even bigger impact. These lights can be used both indoors and out – as can our next pick, the Konstsmide Penguin LED String Lights. These little penguins are festive, and are a brilliant addition to gardens and indoor decorations alike. For another cute addition to your indoor decorations, the Konstsmide Small Battery Operated LED Reindeer should be on your list – and there’s a matching one for outdoors too.
Outdoor fairy lights
You need the right type of lighting for decorating the outside of your home at Christmas, and any old fairy lights that you have around simply won’t do, especially in December, when the weather can be stormy, or if we’re lucky – even snowy! You need lights that are made for outdoor use.
If you’re one to decorate the exterior of your house as well as your garden, then you’ll love the Edit 15.4M Ice Blue & White LED Snowing Icicle String Lights. For decorating the garden with traditional multicoloured lights, the Edit 74.92M Multi Colour LED Multi-Function String Lights are perfect for stringing through trees, and if you’re looking for fairy lights that’ll stand out amongst the neighbours, the Edit 28.77M Decor Pastel LED Multi-Function String Lights are perfect.
If you’re concerned about the cost of running Christmas lights outside your home, or you want to light up an area where mains powered lighting isn’t an option, then solar powered lighting can be the answer. The 365 Multi Coloured Solar LED Multi Function String Lights are a great way to light up trees and gazebos, and there’s an inbuilt dusk to dawn sensor that means your lights will switch on when you want them. For lights you can use in the summer months as well as during December, the 65 Vivo Solar LED Filament Festoon Lights are a great option, while the Suri Colour Changing Solar LED Multi-Function String Lights look wonderful wherever you want to place them. If you prefer white lights to colours, this style is available in cool white too.
We’re firm believers in the magic of Christmas, and your Christmas lighting should be lighting that you love. Whatever your preference, you’re certain to find what you’re looking for in our range of Christmas lighting, and if for whatever reason you don’t love your purchase, you can return them under our Change Your Mind Guarantee for up to 30 days from the date that we received your order.
