Solar Festoon Lights Australia
Solar festoon lights are a practical way to add warm decorative lighting to Australian backyards, patios, pergolas, fences and outdoor entertaining areas. Unlike small fairy lights, festoon lights use larger decorative bulbs to create a more visible lighting feature.
Solar Garden offers 15M, 20M and 30M solar festoon light options for different outdoor spaces. The 20M model is a versatile choice for most Australian backyards and pergolas, while the 30M option is better suited to larger patios, fences and entertaining areas.
Because the lights are solar powered, they can be installed in outdoor spaces without a convenient power point. The solar panel charges during the day and the lights automatically illuminate after dark.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the best solar festoon lights for Australian backyards?
Look for durable outdoor bulbs, reliable solar charging, suitable length options and weather-resistant construction. Solar Garden offers 15M, 20M and 30M solar festoon lights designed for Australian patios, pergolas and backyards, with durable PC bulbs, automatic night operation and no mains wiring required.
What is the difference between festoon lights and fairy lights?
Festoon lights use larger decorative bulbs and are designed to create more visible ambient lighting across patios, pergolas and entertaining areas. Fairy lights typically use much smaller LEDs and create a finer decorative effect.
Are plastic festoon bulbs better than glass for outdoor use?
Durable PC bulb covers can be a practical choice outdoors because they are less fragile than glass if bumped, dropped or moved during installation.
What length festoon lights do I need for a pergola?
The 15M option suits smaller patios and compact pergolas, while the 20M model is the most versatile option for typical Australian pergolas. The 30M model is better for larger pergolas, long fences or spacious entertaining areas.
Can I use solar festoon lights without an outdoor power point?
Yes. The standard models are solar powered and do not require access to a mains power point or electrician. Position the solar panel where it receives good direct sunlight during the day.
Do solar string lights work during winter?
Yes. They can still charge and operate during winter, although shorter days, cloudy weather and reduced direct sunlight may shorten the nightly operating time.
How long do the lights operate at night?
After a good day of charging, operating time is typically around 6–10 hours. Actual performance depends on sunlight, season, panel position and the selected lighting mode.
Where should I position the solar panel?
Place the panel outdoors in a location that receives as much direct sunlight as possible. Avoid positioning it beneath a roof, tree or heavily shaded area.
Can the lights be left outside in the rain?
The lights are designed for normal outdoor use. Make sure all connections are properly secured and do not place the solar panel or electrical connections where water can pool.
What is the difference between the 15M and 20M models?
The 15M model includes 15 bulbs plus one spare and uses a decorative dropper-style cable. The 20M model includes 20 bulbs plus one spare and uses a flat-cable design.
Which model is best for a typical backyard?
The 20M solar model is the most versatile option for most Australian backyards, patios and pergolas. For larger entertaining areas, choose the 30M model or purchase multiple sets.
Does every model include an AU power adapter?
No. The standard models are solar powered. An AU adapter is included only when the “20M Solar + AU Adapter” option is selected.
What warranty and returns are included?
Your lights are covered by a 3-year warranty and a 100-day return period, subject to the conditions stated in our warranty and returns policies.
