Festoon string lights create an outdoor ambience that fixed lighting cannot: warm pools of light at eye and canopy level, a visible cord that becomes part of the decoration, and a scale that works for both intimate garden dinners and large event venues. Dulora offers four product families across three power systems.
The Pro 8m Outdoor Festoon is a 240V SAA-certified connectable string with an IP65 rating. Link sets end-to-end to create longer runs from a single power outlet, suited to backyard entertaining, alfresco areas, market stalls, and permanent residential installs.
The Pro-Series 24V Safe-Touch Festoon runs on 24V DC. At this voltage, the cord and sockets are safe to handle even when powered, making it the preferred choice for venues, hospitality spaces, and commercial event installations. IP65 rated and connectable.
The Smart RGBW Festoon connects to the app and voice control, offering the full RGBW colour spectrum alongside warm white output. Suited to entertaining spaces where lighting mood control is part of the experience. IP65 rated, connectable, 240V.
The Solar String Fairy Light runs on solar power with no mains connection required. Suited to gardens, balconies, pergolas, and off-grid installations where running a cable is impractical. IP65 rated for outdoor use.

Buying Guide
Which festoon string is right for my space?
The Pro 8m is the everyday choice for residential backyards, alfresco areas, and market stalls. It runs on 240V, plugs into a standard wall socket, and can be connected end-to-end for longer runs. The 24V Safe-Touch is the right choice for venues, hospitality spaces, and commercial installations where public contact with the cord is a consideration; the low voltage makes it inherently safer to handle. The Smart RGBW suits entertaining spaces where app and voice-controlled colour and brightness are part of the setup. Solar is the right choice where mains power is unavailable or running a cable is impractical.
Can I connect multiple festoon strings together?
The Pro 8m, 24V Safe-Touch, and Smart RGBW are all connectable and can be linked end-to-end to create longer runs from a single power source. Check the product page for the maximum number of strings that can be connected in a single run, as each model has a different limit based on its wattage and power supply. The Solar festoon is not connectable and operates as a standalone string from its own solar panel. For large events or commercial runs, the 24V Safe-Touch is specifically designed for extended connectable installations. For spare bulbs, extension cords, and mounting accessories to complete your installation, browse the festoon accessories collection.
Are these festoon lights weatherproof?
All four festoon strings in this collection carry an IP65 rating, which means they are protected against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets from any direction. IP65 is the standard recommended for permanent outdoor installations in Australian conditions and covers rain, garden-hose splash, and general outdoor exposure. They are suitable for year-round outdoor use in both covered and uncovered areas. For installation in particularly exposed coastal or high-humidity environments, confirm the mounting hardware and fittings are also rated for outdoor use.
What is the difference between 240V and 24V festoon lighting?
The 240V festoon strings (the Pro 8m and Smart RGBW) run on standard mains power via an Australian plug and socket. They are SAA certified for use in Australia and suit any outdoor space with access to a standard power outlet. The 24V Safe-Touch runs on a 24V DC low-voltage system. The lower voltage is the key distinction: at 24V, the cord and bulb sockets are safe to touch even when powered, making it the preferred specification for hospitality venues, event installations, and commercial spaces where members of the public may come into contact with the lights. No SAA certification applies to the 24V product.
How does the Smart RGBW festoon work?
The Smart RGBW Festoon connects to a smartphone app and supports voice control via Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa. In the app, the colour, brightness, and warm-white output can be adjusted independently, and scenes or schedules can be set. The RGBW format means it can produce both saturated colour and clean warm white from the same bulb, so it functions equally well as an everyday warm white string and as a full-colour event light. It connects via 240V and is IP65 rated for outdoor use. Check the product page for app download and compatibility requirements.
