Festoon Globes: Choosing the Right Globe for Your Outdoor String Lights

Which festoon globe shape creates the best look?

Round (G45 or G95) festoon globes produce the most even, classic festoon appearance: each globe sits as a luminous sphere along the string. Vintage Edison (ST64) adds a filament character suited to rustic or industrial outdoor settings. GLS (A60) is the most practical and lowest-cost option for long runs where visual consistency matters more than decorative character.

For most New Zealand backyard installations, round G45 in warm white is the default starting point.

Do I need shatterproof festoon globes?

Shatterproof globes use a polycarbonate envelope instead of glass, making them impact-resistant and safer in high-traffic areas, commercial venues, and installations at lower hanging heights. For permanent residential installations at standard festoon height (2.5m or above), glass globes are fine. For events, commercial venues, or low-hanging runs, shatterproof is the practical choice.
