Solar Powered: Solar-powered outdoor fairy lights have become increasingly popular over the years, as they are an eco-friendly and cost-effective option. These lights feature a small solar panel that collects energy from the sun during the day and stores it in a rechargeable battery. At dusk, the lights turn on automatically, using the stored energy. Solar-powered lights can last for up to 8-10 hours on a single charge, making them ideal for outdoor lighting.

Battery Operated: Battery-powered fairy lights are ideal for temporary outdoor installations where access to mains power is limited. They typically run on standard AA or AAA batteries and can last for plenty of hours before needing the batteries recharged or replaced. They are a great option for events, parties, or camping trips, where you want to add a little brightness and atmosphere, without the need for power outlets. Turn off lights when not in use: To conserve energy and extend the life of the bulbs, turn off your outdoor fairy lights when you are not using them. RGB (Red, Blue, Green): These lights can be set to display any colour by combining the red, blue, and green lights in different ways.

Instead, each LED is a small semiconductor. A LED lamp can last for more than 20 years, while at the same time reducing energy consumption by 90% compared to a standard light bulb. So as outside lights, LEDs are a good choice both for your wallet as well as the environment. Wrap a LED lighting chain around your balcony railing for a beautiful framing that’ll last a long time.
