About Lighting Accessories at Christmas World

Ask anyone who takes Christmas decorating seriously, and they'll tell you that great accessories are the unsung heroes of a successful light display. There's nothing more frustrating than getting halfway through decorating your roofline only to realize your cable won't reach the power point, or having an afternoon rainstorm trip your outdoor safety switch. Quality connectors, heavy-duty leads, and mounting clips are essential for building a safe, reliable setup.

Christmas World has been supplying quality Christmas decorating supplies to Australian families since 1999 from our stores throughout NSW. We know firsthand how unpredictable Australian summer weather can be, which is why all our electrical accessories are engineered for maximum durability. From IP66 weatherproof seal boxes to heavy-duty UV-stabilized mounting clips, our gear is built to protect your home and keep your lights glowing brightly all season long.

Whether you're expanding a display with multi-way splitters, automating your lights with plug-in timers, or securing cable strands neatly along gutters, we have everything you need. Browse our full range of Christmas lights to pair your essential accessories with bright icicle lights for spectacular holiday displays.

How to Choose the Right Lighting Accessories

1. Extension Leads and Multi-Way Splitters

When running lights across garden beds or up to roof gutters, measure your distance to ensure your leads reach without tension. Heavy-duty green outdoor extension cables blend discreetly into garden foliage, while clear lead wires are ideal for indoor trees. If you are connecting multiple light strings to a single power point, 2-way and 4-way connectable splitters streamline your wiring while staying within safe current limits.

2. Weatherproof Power Connection Boxes

While outdoor light cables are water-resistant, standard power transformers and plug joiners must be shielded from rain and garden sprinklers. Heavy-duty IP-rated weatherproof connection boxes enclose your power boards and transformers safely, sealing cable entry points with tight rubber gaskets so rainstorms won't trip your home power switches.

3. Mounting Clips, Hooks, and Hangers

Protect your gutters, roof tiles, and timber fascias by using purpose-built plastic mounting clips instead of sharp nails or staples. Gutter clips slide onto aluminum or colorbond gutter lips cleanly, holding icicle cables securely in wind. Tile hangers slip beneath clay roof tiles, while heavy-duty suction cups anchor light strands to glass windows effortlessly without leaving sticky residue.

4. Automatic Timers and Remote Controllers

Save power and eliminate the hassle of manually plugging in your display every evening with automatic 24-hour plug-in timers or dusk-to-dawn light sensors. You can program your lights to switch on at sunset and turn off automatically at midnight. Timers are equally useful for securing wire runs when wrapping net lights around hedges or decorating real Christmas trees indoors.
