Garden lights

I'm looking for some garden string lights but can only find either very expensive or far too cheap to be trustworthy ones. I'd like a warm white bulb like this pic attached. Small garden so I don't need miles and miles.

Can anyone recommend?

I have festoon lights from Cox & Cox (sadly they don’t sell the same ones any more) and they’re fab. I also have solar fairy lights and warm white icicle lights (Christmas!) from Lights4fun. Would recommend both companies.

I had the Cox and Cox festoon lights but they filled with water and most of them stopped working.

The cheaper ones seem to use LED bulbs which cannot be replaced. I think for longevity you need the expensive ones with the screw in replaceable bulbs.

DH keeps going on about IP44.

Try QVS electrical, festoon lighting in the part section

Really good point about not having to replace when bulbs go. Thanks - great tip

How are your Festoon lights doing in 2021 or has anyone any recommendations? I would love to have some in my medium sized garden like in these photos.
