Types of Christmas Garden Lights

You don’t have to settle for one type of Christmas lights; try several of these types, and check out the top picks from Best Pro Lighting below.
 

1. LED String Lights (for trees, fences, and garden beds)

LED string lights wrap easily around branches for a sparkling tree effect or drape along fences to make boundaries glow. They last season after season and use up to 90% less energy than incandescent. 
 

2. Wireless, Battery-Operated Garden Lights (for paths, driveways, and flowerbeds)

Battery-operated garden lights can be just right if you’re setting up displays far from the house, or you want an easier setup than dealing with cords. These come in many varieties and are waterproof. Line paths or accent flowerbeds sustainably using these wireless lights.
 

3. Pathway & Stake Lights (guiding walkways and outlining landscapes)

These beautiful and functional lights can outline walkways and define landscapes beautifully, creating inviting entrances. They’re also perfect for showing off garden features.
 

4. Net Lights for Bushes & Shrubs (for hedges, planters, or foliage walls)

LED nets in warm or multicolor tones suit shrubs and planters, turning them into glowing orbs. Weather-resistant and connectable, they work well on foliage walls, too.
 

5. Christmas Projector Lights (wide garden areas)

Projector lights give a show of moving snowflakes, stars, or patterns across gardens or house walls. Waterproof and remote-controlled, they make creating displays fun and easy.
 

6.  Icicle & Curtain Lights (for pergolas, porches, fences)

Icicle and curtain lights are just right for hanging from pergolas or fences to create dripping effects in LED. Curtain versions produce glowing backdrops on porches, too.
