The lighting that changes everything about an outdoor space

By Trove Collective Co. | Outdoor Living

There's a moment, usually around dusk, glass in hand, when an outdoor space goes from nice to memorable. Nine times out of ten the difference is lighting. Not overhead floodlights. Not solar spikes in the garden bed. We're talking about the kind of warm, ambient glow that makes people want to linger.

It's true for a family backyard and it's just as true for a glamping site or eco retreat full of guests deciding whether to head to bed or stay outside a little longer. That's exactly what drew us to Festoon House, Australia's leading outdoor decorative lighting brand and why we're proud to stock their range here at Trove Collective Co. From tree lights and fairy lights to classic festoon strings. Here's a look at what we love most.

Tree lights — your garden's best accessory

If you have a beautiful tree on your property, chances are it disappears completely after sunset. That's a waste of something wonderful, whether it's the feature tree in a family backyard or the natural canopy across an entire glamping site.

Festoon House's outdoor tree fairy light kits are purpose built for exactly this, wrapping trees in warm, ambient light that brings them to life at night. Each kit includes IP65 rated black cables and 10m strings of 100 warm white LEDs spaced 10cm apart, with a mix of 10m and 3m pieces so you can customise to the tree's exact shape and size. A low voltage 24v transformer is included with every kit, keeping everything running safely and efficiently.

The kits come in four sizes:

• Small (40m), perfect for a compact feature tree. From $295.
• Medium (80m), the medium. From $527.
• Large (150m), for large statement trees. From $831.
• Extra Large (300m), for statement extra large. From $1,659.

All waterproof. All connectable. All backed by a 2-year warranty.

One customer summed it up better than we could. They were amazed at how the lights transformed their tree, describing it as beautiful and bright. Another simply said the twinkling lights in their tree are now the talk of the neighbourhood.

Festoon lights — the classic that never gets old

There's a reason festoon lights have become the go to for every cafe terrace, beer garden, wedding venue and well loved backyard in the country. That warm glow from a row of globe bulbs strung overhead is genuinely hard to beat, and it works just as well over a guest deck or communal fire pit area as it does over a family dining table.

Festoon House's outdoor festoon lights are commercial grade and built specifically for Australian conditions. IP67 waterproof rated, UV resistant rubber cables, SAA approved and LED throughout. They connect seamlessly and can extend beyond 100m from a single power point, so whether you're lighting a small courtyard or an entire glamping property, there's a configuration that works.

Their most popular setup is the 100cm bulb spacing, a classic look that's elegant without being overdone and currently their bestseller with over 131 five star reviews. For something a little more flexible, the RGB Smart Festoon Lights are app controlled with colour changing bulbs, great if you want to shift the mood for different occasions or seasons.

What sets Festoon House apart from cheaper alternatives? Durability. One customer described the difference as exceptional compared to the cheaper festoons they'd previously bought, noting the lights had been fully exposed to rain, sun and even partial snowy conditions for over a year and were still going strong.

Fairy lights — small LEDs, big impact

Don't underestimate fairy lights. The right set, in the right spot, does more for an outdoor space than almost anything else.

Festoon House's commercial fairy lights are waterproof, low voltage at 24v and fully connectable, meaning you can run up to 100m from a single power point and customise them to any shape or space. Available in black or white cable, warm white or cool white and RGB colour changing. Each string has built in IP65 waterproof connectors, making them suitable for permanent outdoor installation rather than just a seasonal string you take down each year.

For something even simpler, their solar fairy lights are a brilliant no fuss option. No wiring required, they turn on at dusk automatically and they're just as much at home draped along a veranda as they are zigzagged across a fence or wound through a hedge to create a canopy effect.

One customer who'd been through countless cheap sets finally made the switch, describing the build as robust and genuinely top quality after years of cycling through fairy lights that didn't last.
