LED icicle lights for Irish homes, with free delivery on every order from the first euro and no minimum spend. We carry two ranges: the Yuletide connectable set in 3M and 6M lengths, and a 5M set. Both are rated IP44 for outdoor use, both come in warm white or cool white, and both also work indoors. Browse the full outdoor Christmas lights range if you are planning a bigger display.
What are the best icicle lights for outside a house?
LED sets with an IP44 rating, long enough to cover the gutter line from one socket. The 6M Yuletide set with 300 LEDs covers the front of most houses in one go.
The Yuletide connectable icicle lights come as 3M with 150 LEDs or 6M with 300 LEDs, using static 5mm LEDs on mains 230V. The 5M LED icicle lights have 80 LEDs in drops of varying length. The Yuletide sets give the denser look, with 50 LEDs a metre against 16 a metre on the 5M set.
How many icicle lights do I need?
Measure the run you want to light, then add the lead back to the socket. Buy enough sets to cover the run, rounding up rather than stretching.
A 3M set suits a porch edge, a window head or a short run of gutter. A 6M set suits the front of most houses. A 12 metre gutter line takes two 6M Yuletide sets or three 5M sets.
How many icicle light sets can be connected together?
Yuletide connectable sets run up to 2400 LEDs from one socket, which is eight 6M sets. The 5M sets connect up to 12 sets, a 60 metre run from one socket.
Stay within the limit for the set you are using, because every set adds load to the first plug. Join sets from the same range rather than mixing the two, and take a second supply from a different socket if you need to go further.
Should I choose warm white or cool white icicle lights?
Warm white looks traditional and suits brick, stone and older houses. Cool white looks crisp and icy, and it suits modern or white rendered houses.
Both ranges come in both colours. Keep to one colour on a single gutter line, because the two side by side rarely look deliberate.
How do I power icicle lights safely outside?
From an outdoor rated socket, with every plug joint kept dry inside a weatherproof box. The lights are IP44, but the plug and socket join is usually not.
The DRiBOX IP55 box holds the join inside a sealed enclosure. A plug in timer at an indoor socket switches the lights on and off each evening, so nobody has to remember.
