Types of Fairy Lights

There are two main kinds of LED string lights that you can use to decorate your indoor spaces this Christmas. A popular type are ones that plug in at the wall, running off the main power, and the other types are ones that run off battery power sources. Here is a little bit more about both types:

Plug-in Christmas lights

Plug-in Christmas lights have one big advantage over battery operated ones in that they run off the mains, and therefore you don’t have to worry about the batteries running out, or the lights dimming when the batteries are running low.

Battery-operated lights

Battery powered LED string lights have the advantage of being flexible in where you can put them in a room. You don’t need to worry about hanging them near a socket, nor do you have wires hanging from the socket.
