Built to Last, Wherever You Live in South Africa

We prioritize high-quality materials and thoughtful design to ensure our lights endure anything nature throws their way. Here's why Litehouse Festoon Lights are the perfect choice for your outdoor space:

  • Durable and Weatherproof: Made with high-quality materials and boasting an impressive IP65 weatherproof rating, these lights can handle water, wind, and sun.

  • Year-Round Use: Thanks to South Africa's abundant sunshine, you can enjoy your solar lights all year long.

  • Sustainable and Cost-Effective: Powered by the free energy of the sun, Litehouse lights are an eco-friendly choice that can save you money on electricity bills.

Conquering Specific Weather Challenges:

  • Hail Storms: No more shattered bulbs! We use shatterproof plastic bulbs since 2023, making Litehouse a hail-proof lighting solution.

  • Coastal Towns with High Humidity: Our IP65 rating and secure screw-in bulbs prevent moisture and rust from entering the bulb sockets. Still Concerned? READ THIS HONEST REVIEW! 

  • Cloudy Days: Enjoy illumination even on cloudy days! The built-in solar panel collects energy throughout the day, and for extended illumination, you can simply charge them using the integrated USB port with a C-type charger.

  • Heavy Rainfall: Rest assured! Our IP65 rating means they're completely weatherproof and can withstand powerful jets of water from any direction, perfect for heavy rain showers. *We are proud to report back that Litehouse Lights survived Durban heavy rains earlier this year!

Understanding the IP65 Rating:

The IP rating system classifies electrical enclosures like our string lights against dust and water ingress.

  • IP: Stands for "Ingress Protection."

  • First Digit (6): Indicates complete dust tightness. No dust particles can enter the enclosure.

  • Second Digit (5): Represents protection against water jets from any direction (Rainfall).

Therefore, Litehouse Solar Festoon Lights are 100% South African weatherproof!

Durable Materials for Long-lasting Performance:

  • Durable PVC Coating: The string itself features a robust PVC coating protecting the copper wires within from moisture, rain, and even UV rays. This prevents corrosion and ensures long-lasting performance.

  • Copper Wiring: Copper is an excellent conductor of electricity, efficiently transmitting power to the bulbs while remaining protected from the elements within the PVC sheath.

  • Clear Plastic LED Bulbs: These shatterproof bulbs are built to last, crafted from high-quality plastic resistant to weather and bumps. The secure screw-in design creates a tight seal with extra sealant for added moisture protection, making them perfect for damp or outdoor locations.
