Product Information

Since outdoor string lights are exposed to the elements, selecting a set that stands up to rainy conditions and heavy gusts of wind is important. It’s inconvenient to take the string lights down every time there’s inclement weather in the forecast.

The strands are available in three lengths—12, 24, and 48 feet—and strung with LED bulbs, which use less electricity than standard bulbs and last a lifetime. They're also impact-resistant, and UL listedfor permanent outdoor installation, so there's no need to take them down in the winter. You can link up to 750 feet of these lights to one outlet, giving you enough length to decorate a large outdoor space. Globe bulbs are typically for decorative purposes. These spherical bulbs come in a range of sizes and are commonly seen in hanging pendants, modern chandeliers, and outdoor string lights. Their classic style is timeless and suits a range of outdoor decor setups, from angular modern seating areas to cozy bohemian patios. Globe bulbs can add a touch of glamour and charm to an outdoor space. String lights can instantly transform a typical yard or patio into a warm and inviting space, but choosing the right set of lights is a must for creating the desired ambience. Still considering the best outdoor string lights for your space? Read on for answers to some frequently asked questions about selecting and installing outdoor string lights. Q. What color of light is best for outdoors? The acrylic globe lights are as clear as glass, and the LED filaments emit a warm, goldish-yellow luminosity. Like the other Brightown set, these string lights are dimmable—we connected them to a dimmer cord and took them down to barely a glow. Plus, they come with gutter clips for easy hanging on the edge of a rain gutter, cable, wire, or string. Other bulb types include battery-powered and solar lights. Both don't require electricity but may have a shorter life than an option that's always plugged in. The advantage of these bulb types is the absence of unattractive wires in your outdoor space. Also, plugs on string lights are often not weatherproof, so they must be covered at all times. For an option like our favorite battery-operated lights from koopower, the entirety of the lights are weatherproof and can be exposed to the elements.Color-changing bulbs: For a fun pop of color, look for patio string lights with color-changing bulbs. These string-light options can set the mood for events, seasons, and holidays.

During testing, we left these lights up in one of the rainiest, windiest springs we’ve had in the Pacific Northwest. The lights weren’t under a cover so they got the full effect of whatever Mother Nature chose to throw at them. On a particularly sunny evening after a nasty week of rain and wind, we them in again. Voila, gorgeous lights with no problems. On top of the endless customization options these lights have, the bulbs are also water-, sun-, snow-, and shatter-proof, so they can withstand outdoor elements all year round. The 48-foot option comes with 15 dimmable LED bulbs, but there's also a 96-foot option for larger areas. We love this option because the lights easily change with each holiday and occasion and you can control your lights from anywhere with just your phone. Just note that the adapter isn't weatherproof like the rest of the lights, so be sure to keep that covered and protected. Ahead, learn what to look for when shopping for outdoor string lights, and find out why the following models made the cut in our hands-on testing for some of the best string lights for outdoors. The 50-foot strand features 50 plastic LED string lights to provide a shatterproof and low-cost outdoor lighting option. Each bulb uses only 1 watt of energy for beautiful outdoor lighting without a huge electric bill.Outdoor string lights typically come in lengths of 10, 25, 35, 50, and 100 feet. Consider the size of the outdoor space and the lighting layout when choosing the ideal wire length. Most outdoor string lights feature LED, incandescent, solar, or battery-operated bulbs. Each type varies in durability, energy efficiency, and lifespan. When shopping for outdoor string lights, consider which type of lighting is most suitable for the space. The Twinkle Star fairy lights are advertised as water-resistant, so we misted the entire coil with water from a spray bottle and let it dry. Then, we turned on the fairy lights again, and they came right on. While the remote has eight lighting options, a couple of the flashing ones are pretty annoying and distracting. The others, which feature slow on/off fading effects and solid illumination, made the Twinkle Star lights the star of our nighttime table.
