Bring your Christmas tree & festive displays to life with our long-lasting Christmas lights. Choose from our huge range of colours to get exactly what you need.
Find the right Christmas lights for your display
The best Christmas lights depend on where you're planning to use them. Luckily, we have Christmas lights for all occasions, whether they’re indoor or outdoor.
H3: Christmas tree lights for indoor displays
If you’re decorating an artificial Christmas tree, then our indoor Christmas lights are the place to start.
Choose the number of lights to suit your tree, then pick the colour and style that matches your Christmas theme. From a cosy traditional glow to bright, sparkling lights, there's plenty of scope to make your tree shine.
Outdoor Christmas lights for festive displays
Take the Christmas magic outside with our outdoor Christmas lights. Wrap them around outdoor trees, brighten up fences and railings, or use them to create a welcoming glow around your home.
There are options ranging from smaller displays to larger outdoor projects, with strings available in different bulb counts and colours. Outdoor Christmas lights can turn even the darkest December evening into something rather lovely.
Choose your Christmas lights by colour
The colour of your lights can completely change the feel of your Christmas display. Keep things classic with warm white, create a crisp contemporary look with bright white or have some fun with colour.
How many Christmas lights do I need for a Christmas tree?
Not sure how many Christmas lights your tree needs? The right number depends on the height and width of your tree, as well as how brightly you'd like it to sparkle.
Our Christmas tree decoration calculator makes planning your festive display easy, helping you work out how many Christmas lights you need for a Christmas tree, alongside the number of decorations you'll need.
For a quick starting point, you can also browse Christmas lights by bulb count, from 50–100 lights and 150–500 lights through to 550–900 lights and 1,000–2,000 lights.
Create a Christmas display that really shines
Christmas lights are only the beginning. Combine your chosen lighting with Christmas decorations, baubles, tree toppers and skirts to create a complete festive display.
For an indoor tree, start with your lights before adding your decorations. Work them through the branches so the glow sits throughout the tree, then add your baubles and finishing touches.
Outside, think beyond the tree. String lights around branches, fences and architectural features to spread the festive glow throughout your space.

Whether you're giving the family tree its annual glow-up or turning the garden into a festive wonderland, there's a light for the job.
