Icicle Lights

What is an Icicle Light?

Icicle lights are a type of decorative light that hangs in a cascading pattern to resemble dripping icicles. They come in LED, solar-powered and sometimes older incandescent styles, though LED is now the go-to choice thanks to energy efficiency and long life. All Christmas Warehouse icicles are low voltage and safe for both indoors and outdoors when installed correctly. Outdoor waterproof icicle lights usually carry an IP44 rating, meaning they can handle rain and weather, while indoor sets with an IP20 rating are suited for dry areas only. Some sets will have an IP44 light string IP20 transformer. This means the light is outdoor but transformer is indoors. With this range, it is easy to buy the right products for your needs.
