Few decorations for memorable occasions create greater atmosphere than fairy lights. These delicate strings of lights may help turn any place into something wonderful whether you're organizing a wedding, a birthday party, or a holiday gathering. But it might be challenging to decide which fairy light types and designs are best for your needs with so many available.
Both of these types of lighting have presumably been seen before. Undoubtedly, you're thinking of using one (or both) of them for your Greek wedding. However, because to how similar they appear, we've observed that many couples confuse these two distinct types of illumination. So let's talk about how they differ from one another.
Pendant lights
The type of light is the well-known garland luminary type. Large translucent bulbs are suspended on a cable with symmetrical spacing between them (thus the name String Light). They can also make the space underneath them more luminous. Additionally, you can enhance its beauty by hanging festoons or lanterns, or by having your wedding decorator decorate the entire array (the cable itself).
It often emits a white, warm light that is bright enough to illuminate even very large places. It is installed and used properly, and the intensity (brightness) of the String Lights can be changed.
Holiday Lights
We'd assume you are far more familiar with Fairy Lights than we are. They resemble the tiny lights found in holiday décor and other home furnishings. They are constructed of several, closely spaced, very small lamps. Depending on the intended output, a variety of sizes and colors are available. Fairy lights are more of a decorative feature than a lighting application because they are not very bright (compared to the String Lights). However, because to their rapid and easy mounting virtually anyplace, they are a very adaptable decorative lighting solution. They can be used in any way you might imagine, including as curtains, pillar wraps, and draped from trees.

What is the lifespan of fairy lights?
A set of AA batteries typically lasts 18 to 24 hours. LED batteries are also referred to as "micro drop" batteries or firefly lights with uninsulated cords. These adorable little blobs on the "wires" can operate for over 100 hours on a new battery.

How much electricity are used by fairy lights?
"LEDs are so efficient that adding a few fairy lights in your home won't contribute much to your energy bill throughout the holiday season," an energy expert at Uswitch.com claims.
It will only cost 61 pence to run 200 LED fairy lights for six hours every night from December 9 to January 4.

Do fairy lights pose a fire risk?
Additionally, they pose a fire risk when put next to flammable things like trees due of how hot they may get.
The best fairy light, in the end, is the one that works for you. There is a wide variety of fairy lights to choose from, so do some research before making a purchase. Consider the light's size, shape, and color before making a final call. There are magical light fixtures out there, and all you have to do is look for them.
