Christmas Lights & Lighting - Why choose LED Lights?

LED's ( Light Emitting Diodes) are incredibly bright, 3 x times brighter than traditional Christmas lights, this makes them ideal for a wide range of situations, offering much greater impact and appeal than subdued traditional bulbs. LED's emit vividly coloured light, each colour being bold and intense. The brilliance of colour makes LED lights ideal for any occasion, especially suited for both outdoor and indoor use.

LED lights are available in all traditional formats, making them truly versatile and practical. LED Icicle Lights are perfect for hanging along house roofs, but can be used virtually anywhere including garages, windows, gazebos, let your imagination run free! LED Rope lights offer extreme flexibility and function, they are literally clear rubber ropes with LED's running through the centre. LED String Lights are extendable and inter connectable, these form a single long line of lights. LED Curtain & Net Lights give real impact to otherwise dull walls or windows, they are not single lines of lights instead cover a whole area. LED Fairy and Christmas Lights are perfect to brighten any Xmas tree, providing copious amount of light and colour.

Advantages:
Beautifully bright light
Intense vivid colour
Very low power consumption
Never hot to the touch
11yrs+ long lasting bulb life
Available in all types.

LED Energy Efficiency:
LED fairy lights use 90% less power than normal lights, which has many more advantages than you would first assume. Firstly electrical running costs are reduced, not only reducing the demand placed on your household energy consumption but feel good knowing you are saving energy too.

The other major advantage of LED lights is that you can connect multiple sets together from only one plug, more sets than non LED lights due to the lower power consumption. This is not only practical resulting in the requirement for less power sockets, but large displays can easily be created by connecting multiple set together using a wide range of connector types.

ROHS quality is the environmental product quality of all our products at Lights 4 Fun (http://www.lights4fun.co.uk), one of the largest UK based suppliers of outdoor and indoor lights . ROHS stands for ""the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment"". Bans have taken place on the EU market of new electrical and electronic equipment containing more than agreed levels of lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyl (PBB) and polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) flame retardants. All Lights 4 Fun  products comply with these requirements.

Long LED Bulb Life:
LED bulbs last up to 10 times longer, that's over 100,000 hours or over 11 years of being permanently switched on! This is a testament to the quality, reliability and efficiency of LED lights.

The traditional problem of blown bulb, finding and replacing those which have broken, and the inconvenience and unsightly appearance of multiple failed bulbs isn't an issue with LED's. With such a long bulb life you can be sure of a fully functioning set of lights, which can be happily left outside requiring no maintenance and minimal routine care.
