What is the best fairy light for a bedroom?
It depends on your aesthetic. For romantic and elegant spaces, Pearl or Gold Luxe Fairy Lights. For cottagecore, Cherry Blossom. For gaming setups, Smart RGB String Lights. For animal lovers, Sleepy Kitten or any of our animal range.
What is the difference between firecracker lights and regular fairy lights?
Firecracker lights have a branching cluster design with 4-6 LEDs per cluster at 1.5-2.5cm spacing, versus 1 LED per 10cm on regular lights. The result is 4x the density, no bare spots, and a dramatically fuller look. See our complete firecracker guide for full details.
