Outdoor Christmas Lights with red, yellow, green, blue and PINK!

[Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr]

I really want to recreate the lights that my Dad hung outside our childhood home, which had these five colours. Most of the ones for sale only have red, yellow, green and blue. Sometimes pink instead of red. Sometimes red, yellow, green, blue and purple.

I have accepted that I must have LEDs instead of the gentler glow of old bulbs, but if anyone can help me find this colour combo, I'll be very grateful! I need them to be slightly larger lights (i.e. not fairy light size for Christmas trees) but not too bothered re shape - round bulbs, pine cones, lanterns etc. all fine.

Thank you!

Anyone?

These?

I don't have an answer, but I was wondering this just the other day. We used to have beautiful warm fairy lights when I was a kid - yellow, blue, green, red and pink - and now it's all cold. No pink. I want pink!

Ah, I had looked at these but not scrolled through all the pics! In the first pic, the lights are against pale sky and appear purple but I now see that they are pink when it's fully dark. These are a definite contender, thank you.

There are some fairy lights for the tree with pink in that I have found - is that what you're after? I can post some links.

I am after pink fairy lights so yes please to some links

Oh no, read the full description and they are for summer use only - they recommend putting them away for winter. The search continues!

Just pink, or multicoloured that includes pink?

Just pink for the moment please

I too miss the soft incandescent glow of childhood Christmas lights- LED are 🥶 cold.

Thanks but I've seen these (exact same photo) on other sites and they are described as just being four colours. I think the bulb that looks slightly pink is a red one witha bit of a reflection from another colour.

not cheap though!

Oh my goodness, these look perfect! Thank you. I will order some and report back. I don't mind paying this amount if they are decent quality and will last for years.

@Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
did you get your lights 😁

Sorry, I forgot to report back! Yes, I bought two sets and they really are lovely, just like I remember from childhood. Unfortunately I forgot to take a photo pf them outside but here they are in a dark room.

Oh aren't they lovely, well done.

The difference between the pink and the red is more obvious in real life than in this photo.

Ooh lovely, they look just like the ones we had on the Christmas tree when I was a child. <<nostalgia moment>>

That blue is so much nicer than the emergency services blue you get with the LED lights!

Love that mission! You can recreate it without too much trouble. Look for LED C7 or C9 strands since they have that classic, larger bulb look. Some shops let you custom order colors or add pink sleeves over warm LEDs to get the right tone. You might also find vintage-style reproductions online.
