On average, LED fairy lights can last between 25,000 and 50,000 hours, which translates to approximately 3-6 years of continuous use – and potentially much longer than that if you switch them off between uses. This means that with proper care and maintenance, LED fairy lights can last a really long time before they need replacing. To ensure that your LED fairy lights last longer, it is recommended to use them according to the manufacturer’s instructions, store them properly when not in use, and protect them from harsh weather conditions. No, definitely not. It is not recommended to use indoor fairy lights outdoors because they are not designed to withstand the weather conditions outside. Outdoor fairy lights are specifically made with weather-resistant materials, such as durable plastic or rubber, and are rated for outdoor use, meaning they are waterproof, UV-resistant, and able to withstand extreme temperatures. Using indoor fairy lights outdoors can result in a safety hazard, as they are not waterproof and can cause electrical problems if exposed to moisture.

Many outdoor fairy lights are designed to withstand various weather conditions, including rain and wind. However, the level of weather resistance can vary depending on the specific product and its quality. Some outdoor fairy lights may be rated as waterproof, and can be submerged in water, while others may only be water-resistant, to withstand light rain or splashes. We added these fairy lights to our test in 2022 and they survived one of the coldest winters in recent years in our test garden.

Underground cables must be buried in a trench deep enough to avoid damage from garden tools, pets and wildlife. You should always buy outdoor lighting equipment from a reputable retailer and make sure it's certified waterproof, especially if it's to be used for water features. Unless clearly labelled as waterproof, lights plugged into an outdoor outlet aren't designed to stay outside all year round so should be taken inside once summer’s over. And, importantly, always use a registered electrician, you can find one at NICEIC.
