You’ve invited your favorite people, you’ve got the beats ready to go but don’t forget to set the mood. Let’s face it, nobody wants to stick around at a house party where there’s a harsh overhead light beaming down over everyone in the living room. Whether you’re hosting an al fresco dinner or planning a sleep over, the right lighting is critical.
Stays Cool
Twinkly string lights are not just for the holidays. Bring a warm glow to any room in the house with these mini LED lights. Perfect for draping from the corners of ceilings or framing a wall of windows. Best of all, the string is made of bendable copper so they’ll cooperate just about anywhere you want them to hang.

Flashy Fun
With seven multi-colored light settings, voice activation, and two remote controls— these lights are the obvious choice for your next dance party. They are pretty small, so you can conveniently hide them behind a piece of furniture facing a wall. Friends and family will never forget your party with these lighting the way. Just remember to make a playlist that keeps the dancing going all night long.
Exterior Ambience
Turn your backyard into an Italian piazza with these heavy duty outdoor string lights. The warm white tone casts the perfect glow but when used with a dimmer, you’ll gain even better control of the brightness level to accommodate your needs.
Slumber Party Ready
When the party is over and it’s time to transition to a more restful and relaxing environment, this is the way to do it. Red, green, yellow and blue lights illuminate soothing patterns on your wall and can be adjusted to three levels of brightness. Meanwhile, the Aurora doubles as a sound machine, offering six sounds of nature to help wind the night down. You can even use the light as a Bluetooth speaker and listen to music from your own mobile device.
