Your essential Christmas lights buying guide

Christmas lights are one of the ways we brighten up our homes and gardens during the darker winter months, and with our Xmas lights buying guide you can make sure you get the right Christmas tree lights, outdoor garden lights or battery-powered lights you need.

Our pre-lit Xmas trees make it even easier to brighten up your home without worrying about so much wiring, while our outside Christmas lights and outdoor battery Christmas lights do the same for your garden with less fuss too.

Christmas tree lights

Christmas tree lights are the first thing that comes to mind for many of us when we think about Xmas lights, and there are more options than ever before, making it easier to get Xmas tree lights that look exactly the way you want them to.

Pre-lit Xmas trees are increasingly popular as you don't need to worry about the wiring or spending so much time winding them round the tree - just plug in and you're ready to go.

One space-saving option is our slim pre-lit Christmas tree range, which gives you the brightness of a fully illuminated Xmas tree, but doesn't take up as much floor space, making it perfect for smaller rooms or if you want plenty of space left to stack presents around it.

For a more imposing presence, our 6ft pre-lit Christmas tree and 7ft pre-lit Christmas tree selections give you the look of real fir trees, again with the Christmas tree lights already built in.

LED Christmas tree lights

If you're adding Xmas tree lights to an unlit tree, there are some good reasons to consider LED Christmas tree lights - they're bright, they save energy, and they don't get as hot while they're switched on.

We have LED Christmas tree lights in a range of colours and designs, so again, you can make sure you get the look and feel you want from your Christmas decorations this year.

Outside Christmas lights

Outside Christmas lights range from outdoor tree lights to outdoor icicle lights, perfect for along the roof edge or garage roof, along with outdoor LED Christmas lights in pretty shapes like stars, snowflakes or holly leaves.

Again, there are the same convenient options as above - including an outdoor pre-lit Christmas tree and energy-saving outdoor LED Christmas lights that will work well even in wintry weather conditions.

If you don't have easy access to a mains electricity supply outside, there's also the option of outdoor battery Christmas lights, which can be installed anywhere you can safely position their battery pack for some instant extra brightness and colour.

We have indoor and outdoor battery Christmas lights that use LED bulbs to maximise battery life - some even include a six-hour timer function so you can't forget to switch them off when you go to bed, and then they come back on at the same time the next day.

All of this adds up to a bright and colourful Christmas season, so we hope our Christmas lights buying guide helps you to express even more of that holiday spirit!
