FAQ

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FAIRY LIGHTS & STRING LIGHTS?

 

Fairy lights are charming decorative lights suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. They are commonly seen as special lighting fixtures during holidays and festive occasions, often referred to as "Christmas lights." Since fairy lights are usually sold in strands, they are also known as string lights. However, it's important to note that string lights cover a broad range of designs, so using the term "string lights" isn't entirely precise when specifically referring to fairy lights. In other words, while fairy lights are a type of string light, there are many other variations available. These include festoon globes, lantern string lights, vintage string lights, outdoor string lights, twinkle star lights, and jar string lights.

 

DO FAIRY LIGHTS ATTRACTS BUGS AND INSECTS?

 

Fairy lights, like any other light source, can attract bugs and insects to some extent. Insects are naturally drawn to light sources, especially those that emit ultraviolet (UV) light. Fairy lights, particularly those with white or blue hues, may emit a small amount of UV light, which can attract certain insects.

 

However, it's important to note that the level of attraction can vary depending on various factors such as the brightness and colour temperature of the lights, the surrounding environment, and the specific insect species. In general, LED fairy lights tend to attract fewer bugs compared to traditional incandescent bulbs because LEDs emit less heat and UV light.

 

To minimize the attraction of bugs and insects, you can consider using fairy lights with warm-coloured bulbs (such as yellow or amber) as they are less likely to attract insects than cool-coloured bulbs (such as white or blue). Additionally, placing the lights away from entrances or using bug-repellent measures can help reduce the presence of insects around the fairy lights.

 

DO FAIRY LIGHTS INCREASES MY ELECTRICITY BILLS?

 

Many individuals are curious about whether fairy lights contribute to higher electricity bills, given the abundance of micro bulbs in a string of cables. The answer is reassuringly "no". Micro LED light bulbs, which constitute fairy lights, consume 80-90% less energy than traditional incandescent bulbs. Moreover, these micro LED bulbs boast an impressive lifespan of up to 50,000 hours, in stark contrast to the 3,000 hours offered by incandescent bulbs. This extended longevity, combined with the inherent durability of LED technology, enables users to achieve savings that extend beyond mere energy efficiency.

 

HOW LONG CAN I LEAVE FAIRY LIGHTS ON?

 

You can leave fairy lights on for a continuous 24-hour period without any adverse effects on their performance. The use of LED lights in these fairy lights ensures that they emit very little heat, making them safe to touch. Furthermore, LED lights have a reduced risk of catching fire compared to other types of lights. This is because LEDs typically do not emit infrared radiation, which is the component responsible for heating up the enclosures of traditional lights. As a result, you can confidently place LED fairy lights in various locations with minimal risk of heat-related incidents. Enjoy the ambience and beauty of fairy lights worry-free!

 

HOW CAN I HANG FAIRY LIGHTS ON MY WALL WITHOUT CAUSING ANY DAMAGE?

 

Hanging fairy lights without damaging your wall is easy! One option is to use adhesive mini wire hooks from a brand like 3M. These hooks are designed to stick securely to your wall and can be easily removed by peeling off the backing. Another approach is to place the fairy lights on items that are already hanging on your walls, such as picture frames, to avoid any damage. You can also consider using mini light holders with suction cups or mini light clips as alternative methods. For those with brick walls, brick clip hangers are available. These clips grip onto the bricks, eliminating the need for drilling holes to hang the lights. With these options, you can enjoy your fairy lights while keeping your walls intact.
