⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 Stars – Exceptional Products, Outstanding Service & Proudly South African! 🇿🇦 This is exactly why we should be supporting local businesses! 🇿🇦👏 I recently purchased solar festoon lights and outdoor wall lights from Litehouse SA, and I honestly couldn’t be happier with both the products and, more importantly, the incredible after-sales service! What really sets a company apart isn’t just the products they sell, but how they treat their customers AFTER the sale. I initially had a few challenges getting my solar festoon lights to work as expected, and this is where the Litehouse team truly shone! Their patience, responsiveness and willingness to help were absolutely phenomenal. Over several days, they guided me through troubleshooting, answered every question and genuinely went out of their way to help me find a solution. Not once did I feel like I was being a nuisance! And the end result? My outdoor space looks absolutely amazing! The lighting has completely transformed the atmosphere, and I couldn’t be happier! ✨ But here’s what impressed me most… We often gravitate towards international brands or large retailers, forgetting that we have fantastic South African businesses right on our doorstep. Supporting local isn’t just about buying a product. It’s about supporting South African entrepreneurs, creating and sustaining jobs, growing our economy and helping local businesses thrive. And when a local business delivers this level of quality, care and customer service, they deserve to be celebrated! Litehouse SA, you’ve earned yourself a loyal customer! Thank you for reminding me what exceptional customer service looks like. To anyone considering purchasing from them, I can wholeheartedly recommend them. Great products, fantastic people and outstanding after-sales support! Let’s support local, celebrate local and help South African businesses grow! 🇿🇦❤️ #SupportLocal #ProudlySouthAfrican #SupportSmallBusiness #LitehouseSA

Yes, quality lighting is our priority which is why we offer:
The evenings you meant to spend outside, on the stoep or around the braai. Finally, the festoon lights to match.
Litehouse Solar Festoon Bulb String Lights bring warm, golden light to your outdoor space, from the first hour of dusk to the last of the evening. Powered by the sun, they charge through the day on their own panel and glow all night, with no wiring, no electrician and no running costs. Waterproof and built for real South African summers, they are the finishing layer a well-designed garden, patio or stoep has been waiting for. Prefer mains power? See the plug-in festoon lights, or browse the full solar bulb string lights range.
Solar power that actually lasts all night, every night. A full day of Highveld sun gives you up to 14 to 16 hours of warm light after dark, so your garden stays lit long after sunset. No cables, no switches, and nothing added to your electricity bill. Because they run entirely on solar, they keep the garden glowing even when the power does not.
Warm & Gentle Illumination: A golden 2700K warm white glow, warm enough to relax by and bright enough to set the scene. Two brightness levels let you shape the mood.
All-Night Solar Power: A long-life LiFePO4 battery holds charge for up to 14 to 16 hours on a full day of sun, so the light lasts as long as a summer evening does, loadshedding or not.
Truly Waterproof: Rated IP65 and built to handle sun, wind and Highveld thunderstorms, season after season. Made for real outdoor conditions.
Effortless Installation: Ready in minutes with an optional hanging clip, a ground stake or wall screw fixings included. No wiring, and no electrician.
Dual Charging: Solar by day, USB-C when you need it. A self-cleaning ETFE solar panel keeps charging efficiently through the seasons.
Interconnectable Design: Link multiple sets end to end, up to 30 m on a single panel, and light a longer run from one connection.
Shatterproof & Safe: Durable S14 LED bulbs made shatterproof to resist knocks and drops, with two spare bulbs in the box.
Built to Last: Considered materials and a build made for the outdoors, backed by a 2-year warranty.
From a quiet dinner on the patio to a garden full of people around the braai, these festoon lights set the scene. String them along the stoep, over the pool, across the garden or above the entertainment area, and watch a familiar space turn into somewhere people want to linger. They are equally at home lighting a December gathering, a birthday, or an ordinary Friday that deserves a little more warmth. Add a solar fairy lights set for a softer layer, or read the festoon lights styling guide for ideas.
Hanging festoon lights takes minutes. Plan the run first, then use the built-in clips, the included ground stake or the wall fixings to secure each end.
Every Litehouse product is designed to last and backed to match. Your festoon lights come with a 2-year warranty, a 90-day money-back guarantee, and support from a real South African team. Trusted by 57,000+ customers and by some of Africa’s top lodges.
Complete your space.
What are festoon lights?
Festoon lights are a string of evenly spaced bulbs on a single cable, designed to hang in gentle drapes across an outdoor space. In South Africa they are also called garden or party lights. The look comes from the warm, glowing bulbs themselves, not a bright floodlight. Litehouse festoon lights use warm white 2700K LED bulbs for a soft, golden effect.
What is the difference between festoon lights and fairy lights?
Festoon lights use larger, spaced bulbs on a heavier cable for a bold, bistro look. Fairy lights use tiny LEDs on a fine wire for a delicate sparkle. Both suit a garden, but festoon lights make more of a statement over a braai or dining area.
Are these festoon lights waterproof?
Yes. They are rated IP65 and waterproof, built to handle sun, wind and summer thunderstorms, season after season. The bulbs are also shatterproof, so they stand up to real outdoor use.
Do solar festoon lights work during loadshedding?
Yes. They run entirely on their own solar battery, with no connection to mains power, so they keep glowing whether the power is on or off. A full day of sun gives up to 14 to 16 hours of light.
Do they use a lot of electricity?
No. They use no mains electricity at all. They charge from the sun by day and run on their own battery at night, so they add nothing to your bill.
How long do they last on a charge?
After a full day of sun, up to 14 to 16 hours. A full charge takes around 8 to 10 hours of daylight, and on dull, wet days you can top the battery up over USB-C. Linking several sets on one panel will shorten the run time per charge.
Do they turn on by themselves?
Yes. A dusk-to-dawn sensor turns them on at dusk and off at dawn, with a manual switch when you want to take control.
How do you hang festoon lights?
Plan your run, then use the built-in clips, the ground stake or the wall fixings to secure each end. Let the cable drape gently between points for that relaxed look, and position the solar panel where it gets direct sun.
