2. How many metres of light do I need?

  1. Measure every railing, window frame or edge you want to light, in metres.
  2. Add about 10% for corners, drops and reaching the nearest socket.
  3. Round up to the next pack size – 10 m for most rope and string lights, 25 m or 50 m for Sparkle Neu.
Example

A 4 m balcony railing with two 1 m sides = 6 m. Add 10% = 6.6 m. One 10 m rope light covers it, with enough left to drop down a corner.

3. Diwali lighting safety checklist

  • Use outdoor-rated lights (like the IP65 Sparkle Neu) anywhere rain, dew or splashes can reach.
  • Don't chain too many light sets on one extension board – spread them across sockets.
  • Keep lights away from curtains, paper lanterns and diyas.
  • Use a proper 3-pin plug and socket, never bare wires pushed into a socket.
  • Switch lights off when you leave home or go to sleep.
  • If a plug or wire feels hot, switch off and replace it.

4. Lighting that stays after Diwali

Many families use Diwali to upgrade their home lighting for good. Warm-white lights make living and dining rooms feel festive all year. Need it fitted? Add an electrician visit to your order.

Frequently asked questions

How many metres of rope light do I need for a balcony?

Measure the railing and sides, add about 10%, and round up to the next pack size. A typical 4–6 m balcony needs one 10 m rope light.

Can I use LED rope lights outdoors?

Use lights rated for outdoor use. Surya Sparkle Neu is IP65 rated, which protects against dust and water splashes.

Which Diwali light is the cheapest?

LED ladi lights (warm white) and the Surya Jag Mag Maxx string light are the most affordable options in our Diwali range.

Do profile strip lights need a driver?

Yes. LED strips run on low-voltage DC, so every strip installation needs a driver – pair the 5 m profile strip with the 10 A driver.

Do you deliver Diwali lights on the same day?

Yes. Orders placed between 9 am and 9 pm are delivered in 2–3 hours across Noida, Greater Noida & East Delhi, including the festive days.
