Question 1

How much electricity do LED decorative lights use during Diwali?

Accepted Answer

A typical 10–15 metre LED rice light or serial light string uses roughly 5–10 watts, far less than old incandescent serial sets. Running one string for 6 hours a night for a month uses only about 1–2 units of electricity. Check the wattage on the packaging or product page before buying, since it varies by length and LED count.

Question 2

Are LED string lights safe to use outdoors on balconies and terraces?

Accepted Answer

Only if the product is rated for outdoor use, usually IP44 or higher, which protects against splashes and rain. Many low-cost serial lights are meant for indoor use only, so check the IP rating and keep plug points and adapters away from water. On LedDisplay, you can compare outdoor-rated decorative lights across sellers before you buy.

Question 3

What is the difference between copper wire fairy lights and PVC wire serial lights?

Accepted Answer

Copper wire fairy lights are thin and flexible, so they are good for wrapping around plants, jars, and photo walls. They usually run on batteries or USB. PVC wire serial lights are sturdier and plug into mains power, which makes them better suited to long runs across doors, windows, and building exteriors during festivals.

Question 4

Should I buy battery-operated, USB, or plug-in LED decorative lights?

Accepted Answer

Battery and USB lights suit small decor like table settings, gift hampers, and bedroom shelves where there is no nearby socket. Plug-in lights are better for long strings and for lights that stay on for many hours, because you don't need to keep replacing batteries. LedDisplay lists the power source for each product, so you can filter and compare prices for the type you need.
