Before you get on to buying new lights for Diwali decoration it is important that you have a plan for how you want to use lights to decorate. Also, be creative as much as you can. This will help you choose the right lights for the right reasons.

Simply buying the lights isn’t enough. It is important to choose the lights depending on the location and placement. For instance, you can use strip lights at your rooftop boundaries or hang star lights or diya lights from the balcony ceiling or spread some rice lights over your plants and so on.

There are lots of decorative light options available to choose from. There are strip lights, rice lights, string lights smart lights and more that you consider. In fact, there are projector-based decorative lights available that can be used to decorate your house entirely. Decide what works for you and your decoration idea and what doesn’t.

Just like the design, lights are also available in multiple colour options. You can choose Yellow, Red, Blue, Magenta or altogether multicolour lights that switch to whatever colour you want. The idea is to not get restricted towards a single colour option.

Brand matter and so does the budget. Still, we recommend you to choose lights from trusted brands that fit in your budget. Consider it a long-term investment as the same lights can be used next year and for other occasions as well.

Smart lights are trending these days and you can use them to decorate your house smartly. Smart lights are also available in multiple form factors like bulbs, strip lights, etc. You can use them to schedule the lights when they turn on and off. Also, they will allow you to change the colour and pattern right from your smartphone.

As we mentioned, choose lights depending on upon the location. As an extension to that, you can look for some additional features while buying lights. For instance, you can look for sensor-based lights, solar-powered lights for the outdoors, etc.

Weather conditions can damage your lights which may short-circuit the entire house ending up damaging other appliances as well, especially outdoor lights. There are lights available which are water resistant or offer some weatherproofing light some lights have a plastic coating to protect it from water damage and dust.
