About Us

Lights4fun is a small family business based in Leeds, West Yorkshire. We specialise in high quality connectible outdoor Christmas lighting systems. All our products are extensively tested to the highest European ‘GS’ standards.

Our robust ‘String Lights’ can be linked together many times from just one socket to give huge flexibility in outdoor lighting. We offer them with a whole range of accessories to make this one of the most flexible systems in the world. We have sold this lighting system to several local councils in the UK and in 2005 we supplied Peterborough City Council with over 1,000 sets of LED outdoor connectible string lights. We are delighted to announce that not one set has been reported faulty.

The string lights are available in high quality traditional Rice Bulb format or new LED string lights.

High quality outdoor RICE BULB String Lights

The traditional bulbs that we use are of a very high quality and we normally expect 20,000 hours life from Rice bulbs. The string lights have a 'fuse preservation circuit system' which means if one bulb goes out, all the others will remain lit. They have double sealed epoxy covers - so they are strong, resistant to all weathers and winds and birds.

Rice bulbs give a traditional warm white light which can be very fitting with country areas and stone buildings. The cables are made from a very durable PVC and RUBBER compound which means they can be left outside for extended periods of time. Cable colour can be dark green / black or white.

Life expectancy of these lights (based on 3 months seasonal use) - if demounted at the end of each Christmas season, 7 to 8 years.

Life expectancy of these lights if left outside permanently- 4 years (dependant on prevailing weather conditions.)

High Quality outdoor LED String Lights

LED's (Light emitting Diodes) are the future of Christmas lighting. They emit a more piercing bright light than rice bulbs but can create a very efficient and effective display using only a small amount of power. We normally expect LED bulbs to last for 100,000 hours.

The cables are made from natural RUBBER and the bulbs again have the benefit of a Fuse circuit technology 'which means if one bulb goes out, all the others will remain lit. They have double sealed epoxy covers - so they are strong, resistant to all weathers and winds and birds. With LED's there is no filament to break so they are more durable and reliable than their Rice Bulb predecessors.

Life expectancy of these lights, - (based on 3 months seasonal use) if demounted at the end of each Christmas season - 12 to 14 years.

Life expectancy of these lights if left outside permanently 4 to 5 years (dependant on prevailing weather conditions.)

Summary of LED benefits:

• Last up to ten times longer than a standard bulb - up to 100,000 hours (11.1 years of constant use.)
• Incredibly bright (3 x times brighter than standard bulbs).
• Use on average 90% less power than standard bulbs - and are therefore more environmentally friendly.
• They are very durable and hardy - no filament to break.
• The bulbs generate virtually NO HEAT and thus are very safe! They are ideal where normal bulbs could cause a danger.
• Non-replaceable bulbs. No bulb changing ever.
• Will last for many years.
• Pay for them selves in one year of constant use.
• Connect up to 50 sets from just one normal 13 amp socket
• Connect different colors and accessories all from the same circuit.
