Here we have gathered our guides for those who want help choosing the right string lights, the right bulbs and the right accessories. Many of the questions we receive are not only about which product to buy, but about what actually suits the specific environment you want to illuminate.
That is why we have started building this guide page with articles where we share our own recommendations and experience. The idea is to make it easier to choose the right option from the start, whether you want to light up a pergola, patio, wedding, or simply want to understand the difference between different bulbs and cable types.
Our guides are written to be clear and helpful, without making things unnecessarily complicated. We continuously add more articles to this page.

Read the guideIf you are unsure where to start, we think the easiest way is to begin with the environment you want to illuminate. For example, if you are going to install string lights in a pergola, it can be smart to start with our pergola guide. If you are more unsure about the product itself, you can instead begin with the guide about flat or round cable, or with our guide to 1W, 2W and 3W.
The idea behind these guides is to support you in choosing the right option from the start. We know that many customers want something that both looks good and works well in practice, and then it is often the details that determine whether the final result turns out really well.
We will continue adding more guides to this page, including topics such as light colour, installation, wire suspension and how to choose the right string lights for year-round outdoor use.
If you are still unsure which string lights suit you best, you are very welcome to contact us. We at LY Sweden are happy to help guide you based on how and where you want to use the lighting.
