Popular Types of Christmas Lights (and Where They Shine)
1) LED String & Fairy Lights
The go-to for trees, mantels and balconies. LED fairy lights are versatile, low-maintenance and perfect for both subtle accents and full-on sparkle—in warm white or multicolour. Shop LED Christmas Lights
2) Icicle Lights for Rooflines & Eaves
If you love that “snowy” edge along the roof, icicle lights give a crisp, cascading effect on gutters, verandas and pergolas. Choose cool white for a frosty look or multicolour for playful flair. Browse Icicle Lights
3) Solar-Powered Lights
Solar Christmas lights are a summer staple: no cables across the lawn and easy placement along fences, trees and garden beds. From fairy strings to “snowing” icicles, there’s a solar version for almost every idea. See Solar Lights
4) Path & Candy-Cane Lights
Guide guests to your door with pathway stakes or candy-cane sets. They frame driveways, garden edges and front walks beautifully—and pair perfectly with roofline and tree lighting. Explore Path Lights
5) Infinity Lights (Statement Pieces)
Want a show-stopping focal point on a window, sideboard or mantel? Infinity lights create a captivating mirror effect with endless depth—an eye-catching modern twist. Shop Infinity Lights
6) Neon Rope & Silhouette Lights
Outline windows, deck rails or signage with flexible neon rope for clean, bright lines. Silhouette motifs (stars, “Merry Christmas” signs) make instant scenes on walls and fences. See LED Neon & Silhouettes
7) Battery-Operated (No Power Point? No Problem.)
Battery sets with built-in timers are ideal for wreaths, table centres or rental balconies. Look for multi-function settings and long battery life. Browse Battery Lights

FAQs
What are the best Christmas lights for Australian summer?
Solar lights are a favourite for gardens and fences, while plug-in LED strings and icicles are great for long rooflines and large trees. Battery options suit small accents and rentals.
How do I choose between warm white, cool white and multicolour?
Warm white feels traditional and cosy; cool white is crisp and modern; multicolour brings playful, family-friendly vibes. Many ranges let you match the same tone across product types.
What lights work best for roof edges?
Icicle lights give that classic, snowy cascade. Neon rope lights create a clean architectural outline if you prefer straight lines.
Can I create a statement piece indoors without a big setup?
Yes—an infinity light on a window or mantel adds dramatic depth with minimal effort.
I don’t have outdoor power points—what are my options?
