G45 Festoon Lights — Waterproof LED Globe String Lights
WENDADECO manufactures G45 festoon lights featuring 45mm globe LED bulbs, designed for commercial outdoor decoration, event lighting and hospitality installations. The G45 bulb is our most popular festoon bulb format — compact enough for intimate venue settings, yet visible enough for large-scale commercial displays.
G45 festoon lights are available in 12V, 24V and 230V configurations with E27, B22 or E14 lamp holders. All systems carry IP65 waterproof rating, CE/UKCA/RoHS/SAA certifications and are suitable for permanent outdoor installation in rain, snow and UV exposure.

Why Choose G45 Bulbs?
Versatile size: At 45mm diameter, the G45 is the ideal middle-ground — larger than micro fairy lights but smaller than S14 or ST64 Edison bulbs. Suitable for both close-up decorative settings (cafes, patios) and distance viewing (market streets, event marquees).
Energy efficiency: G45 LED bulbs consume 0.5-2W per bulb, reducing power consumption by 70%+ compared to incandescent equivalents. A 100m run with 100 bulbs draws only 50-200W total.
Long lifespan: 30,000+ hour rated lifespan means bulbs typically last 5-10 years in daily commercial use, dramatically reducing maintenance costs for permanent installations.
Colour options: Available in warm white (2200K-3000K), natural white (4000K), cool white (6500K), amber, gold and RGB colour-changing. Multiple finishes (clear, frosted) for different aesthetic requirements.

FAQ
What is the difference between G45 and G50 bulbs?
G45 bulbs are 45mm in diameter; G50 bulbs are 50mm. G45 is more compact and energy-efficient, while G50 provides a slightly larger, more visible bulb for longer-distance viewing.
Are G45 LED bulbs replaceable?
Yes. G45 bulbs screw into standard E27/B22/E14 lamp holders and can be individually replaced without disconnecting the festoon string. This is a key advantage over sealed fairy light systems.
Can G45 festoon lights be dimmed?
Yes. G45 LED bulbs are compatible with leading-edge and trailing-edge dimmers, as well as PWM dimming for 24V systems. We offer dimmable transformers and remote control options.
