Party lights small enough to drop inside a balloon

Each bead is a little over a centimeter across and carries its own light and its own battery. Scatter them down the middle of a table, sink them in a glass jar, or slip one into a balloon before you inflate it. Nothing plugs in and nothing needs to be strung up.

Why choose these party lights?

Decoration that takes a minute to set up and a minute to clear away. There is no wiring to hide and no socket to work around, which is what makes them usable outdoors.

• Half an inch across: 1.25 cm in diameter, so they vanish into fabric, flowers or a bowl of water.
• A switch on every bead: flip it and the bead is on; no controller, no remote, no app.
• Two coin cells each: battery powered, which keeps them safe to use around paper and cloth.
• Seven color options: single colors from red through warm white, or a mixed pack for a spread of hues.
• Sold in 50, 100 and 200: scale the pack to a dinner table, a room or a marquee.

Buy once and they come back out for the next birthday, the next wedding, the next long evening in the garden.

The plastic shell is smooth and rounded, so the beads sit flat on a table without rolling far. They work well pressed into a flower arrangement, threaded through a garland or dropped into ice buckets. Sort them back into the box afterwards and switch them off until next time.
