Listings show both LED and incandescent lights. Common bulb styles are micro "fairy" bulbs and wide-angle LEDs, and warm white is the most frequently used color.
Light counts in the listings range from about 10 to 50 bulbs. Bulb spacing is typically between roughly 1 inch and 4 inches apart, depending on the style.
Many small garlands have a flexible wire or bendable center, letting you drape them, wrap them around banisters or posts, shape them into wreaths, or lay them flat for tabletops and mantels.
Most listings recommend indoor use or placement in covered/sheltered outdoor areas (porches, under eaves). A few items note weather-resistant materials (waterproof or fade-resistant) or UL listing for indoor/covered-outdoor use, and at least one mentions a waterproof battery case.
Lighted lengths in the listings run from about 3 feet up to 7 feet. Total string lengths are generally roughly 4 to 8 feet, with many items around 5–6 feet.
Common materials include plastics (polypropylene, PE), natural or crafted fibers (sisal, wood), textiles like polyester, and metal components (wire, metal/iron) for structure.
They’re commonly used on mantels and fireplace surrounds, wrapped along stair banisters or railings, arranged on tabletops and consoles, hung in doorways and windows, added to trees, or displayed in covered outdoor spaces like porches.
Common features include battery operation (no outlet needed) with an on/off switch on the battery pack, energy-efficient LEDs that stay cool, some non-replaceable bulbs, and occasional UL approval for indoor/covered-outdoor use; at least one listing notes a waterproof battery case.
