  • The most popular for any kind of festive decoration is the string lights or rope lights. Diwali is no exception in this matter. These lights are the standard decorative material used for outdoor decoration as diyas are used indoors.
  • Until a few years back these string lights were nothing but a long electric wire with lights on it that was hung parallel to the outer walls. But nowadays there are several varieties available in these lights. There are ones that blink and there is a regulator to control there blinking speed. There are ones that change colour or colours. There are also rope lights that light up in parts to give a disco effect.
  • The famous Diwali lanterns are also an example of electrical light decoration for Diwali. They are regionally called by different names like 'toran' or 'kandil' and available everywhere be it roadside stalls or huge malls.
  • Decorating with lanterns, especially paper lanterns, is a whole new chapter by itself. There are different shapes and sizes. You can make patterns with it or team them up with other lights. Great new innovation is to connect lanterns with rope lights to accentuate the light patterns.
  • If all these are too obvious ways of decorating for you then you choose something more avant-garde. It is a traditional but rarely used idea to wrap cellophane paper over light bulbs and create coloured lights. It gives you the freedom to choose whatever exact shade of colour you want.
  • Another interesting option for playing with shadows and light is to cut holes into the paper you are using to wrap the bulb. Imagine the streams of bright and dark when you light a whole line of these bulbs.
