GLOBELIT Outdoor String Lights 200FT/90M (G40, mains powered, 12V low voltage) with 100+4 shatterproof LEDs
Product description
Outdoor festoon string lights for patios, pergolas and events
If you’re trying to make an outdoor space feel warmer without running messy cabling or worrying about the weather, GLOBELIT’s outdoor festoon string lights are built around that idea. This set is aimed at garden, patio and event-style lighting, using shatterproof LED bulbs and a low-voltage approach described as 12V safe use.
On paper, the pitch is simple: LED festoon lights that are bright for their size, designed to stand up to typical British outdoor conditions (rain, damp, wind and temperature swings), and with replacement bulbs included so you’re not instantly stuck if one fails.
That said, a couple of details are worth pausing over before you buy: the listing refers to mains powered and also mentions low voltage safe use. It’s not unusual for outdoor string lights to use a low-voltage output from a mains adapter, but you’ll still want to check that the provided transformer/adapter approach matches how you plan to connect them.
The essentials: what you actually get and what it’s for
This is an outdoor festoon / string light setup in two long strands (2 × 100FT), using G40-style bulbs. The bulbs are described as impact and weather resistant, and the package includes 100+4 shatterproof LED bulbs plus 2 plastic replacement bulbs.
The main use case is decorating an outdoor area—patios, gardens, pergolas, gazebos and even spaces like cafes/markets where you want consistent ambient light. If you’ve ever done this job with fragile bulbs, the “shatterproof” angle will be the obvious selling point: it’s the sort of design choice that matters when kids, pets, or normal life bumps the lights.
A practical micro-scenario: imagine setting the strings along a pergola beam line. You screw each bulb into a weatherproof socket and keep the joins protected by ensuring bulbs are tightened properly—so you’re not left guessing whether rainwater can sneak into the connection points.
What to know about weather resistance and bulb protection
The listing emphasises waterproof outdoor string lights and durable black cabling designed to handle conditions such as cloudy, wet, windy, foggy, rainy, snowy and extreme temperatures. It’s the kind of claim that’s helpful for buying with confidence, especially if your lights will stay up for weeks at a time.
The shatterproof bulb approach matters here, because outdoor lighting gets more contact and more movement than indoor bulbs. However, the “weatherproof” part is as much about installation as materials. The description specifically mentions screwing the bulbs into the weatherproof socket to prevent water from flowing into the joint between two strings.
So, it’s a solid concept for outdoor festoon lighting—but the real-world success depends on correct assembly and treating the connections carefully.
The light and power side (energy saving, service life and safety)
This set uses 1W LED shatterproof bulbs, and it’s described as energy efficient compared with traditional incandescent outdoor string lights. The listing also claims electricity bill reduction and a service life of up to 25,000 hours.
For many buyers, that translates into fewer replacements and less ongoing hassle—especially if you’re lighting a patio or pergola where you don’t want to go up a ladder every time a bulb goes.
On safety, it states 24V safe low voltage and also describes “low voltage 12V safe use”. That can mean the lights run at a low-voltage level that’s intended to be within human-safe voltage ranges, typically via a mains-to-low-voltage transformer/adapter. It’s not perfect clarity in the wording, so it’s worth double-checking what you receive and how it’s powered, particularly if you have existing outdoor power setups.
Pros and what you’ll notice day to day
- Outdoor-friendly bulb design: shatterproof/impact-resistant LEDs are designed to cope better with everyday bumps than fragile glass bulbs.
- Weather-resistant build direction: the description repeatedly points to waterproof performance across varied outdoor conditions.
- Replacement bulbs included: 2 plastic replacement bulbs are part of the package, which is a small thing that can save time later.
- Long reach for decoration: 200FT/90M total length (two 100FT strands) gives you room for a noticeable “string light canopy” look.
- LED economics on paper: stated energy efficiency and long service life are exactly what you want for leaving outdoor lighting up during the season.
Is it the right fit? (and when it might not be)
It’s a good fit if you want outdoor festoon string lights for a patio, garden, pergola or gazebo, and you care about shatterproof LED bulbs and weather-resistant installation. If you’re the kind of person who would rather set it up once and leave it rather than swap bulbs often, the stated service life and replacement bulbs make sense.
It may not suit you if you’re working with a very specific wiring plan and you need maximum clarity on the power method (the description mentions mains powered plus low-voltage safe use, so check the adapter/connection details before committing). Also, if you only need very small-scale lighting, the full 200FT length can be more cable than you actually want to manage.

Final verdict
Worth considering if your goal is to decorate an outdoor space with LED festoon lighting that’s designed to cope with rain, damp and typical outdoor conditions, and you want the practical reassurance of shatterproof bulbs.
You may want to skip it if your priority is absolute clarity on the powering setup (mains powered vs low-voltage safe use) and you’re unable to verify the exact adapter/connection method. In that case, it’s better to confirm what plugs in where before you spend time planning the route.
Mini FAQ
Are these lights genuinely outdoor/waterproof?
The listing describes waterproof outdoor string lights and weather resistance across rainy and snowy conditions, but proper installation (especially tightening bulbs into the weatherproof sockets) is called out as important.
How long are the strands in total?
The set is described as 2 × 100FT outdoor string lights, for a total of 200FT/90M.
Do you get replacement bulbs?
Yes—2 plastic replacement bulbs are included in the package, and the set includes 100+4 shatterproof LEDs.
What power do they use?
The description mentions mains powered, plus low voltage safety (stated as 24V safe low voltage and also “12V safe use”). Check the exact powering method included with the set so it matches your outdoor setup.
How bright are they compared with older outdoor lights?
It states they’re brighter and more energy efficient than traditional incandescent outdoor string lights, but it doesn’t provide lumen figures in the information supplied.
