Our Story
One summer night on a backyard patio, two Canadian dads – friends since they were seven – were kicking back with cold drinks and catching up. One’s an LED lighting expert, the other’s an architect. As they looked around, they noticed something…
Every patio had the same tired Edison bulbs.
“Wouldn’t it be cool if patio lights actually had some personality?”
And just like that, SNAPS was born.
It wasn’t all smooth sailing – 18 months of sketching, testing, breaking things, fixing things (and a whole lot of laughs) – but we ended up with something we’re proud of: an easy, fun way to add a little charm to your lights.
SNAPS are snap-on decorative shades that turn ordinary patio string lights into instant decor – no tools, no fuss.
Designed to work with most standard patio string lights, SNAPS pop on and off in seconds, so you can switch up your look anytime. They’re patent-pending, made from eco-friendly PLA, and crafted in Canada.
From backyard hangs to restaurant patios to branded events, SNAPS brings personality to outdoor lighting – one snap at a time. Now grab some SNAPS, snap ’em on, and light it up your way.

How It Works
We designed SNAPS to be as easy and fun as possible – because decorating your patio should never feel like a chore. True to their name, SNAPS simply snap together around most standard patio lights, instantly upgrading boring bulbs into eye-catching, beautifully themed designs. No tools, no tangled cords, no hassle – just SNAP and go!
Unlike traditional holiday or themed lighting, which can take hours to set up and take down, SNAPS can transform your entire patio in minutes. Whether you’re throwing a party, setting a vibe, or just refreshing your outdoor space, changing up your look is as easy as popping on a new set of SNAPS.
Here’s how it works:
1. Take the two SNAPS pieces.
2. Place them around the bulb.
3. Press them together until you hear a satisfying “click.”
4. Boom — instant patio magic.

Environmentally
Friendly
Why do we use corn-based PLA?
At SNAPS, we believe great design shouldn’t come at the expense of the planet. That’s why we make all our light shades using corn-based PLA — a renewable, eco-friendly material that looks amazing and feels even better to use.
PLA (polylactic acid) is made from plants, not petroleum, and it’s biodegradable under the right conditions, helping to cut down on plastic waste and keep harmful materials out of the environment.
The best part? PLA gives SNAPS a smooth, high-quality finish that looks just as good on your patio as it feels in your hands. So you can decorate with style, have fun, and feel good knowing you’re making a choice that’s both beautiful and better for the Earth.
