330 ft Bulk Reel Commercial Grade String Light Cord (medium/E26 base, no plug)

This 330 foot reel of commercial grade, heavy-duty string light cord is great for large projects and when customized lengths are needed. This is one of our best-selling stringers due to its durability and professional looks! Create the outdoor space of your dreams with this cost-effective reel! See below for complete product specifications (specifically 14AWG vs. 16AWG).

The key differences between the two cord options is the 14AWG cord allows you to run longer lengths, and it has a bit more insulation around the wiring. The benefit to the 16AWG cord is it's robust enough for commercial use but light enough for easy installation (about 1/2 the weight of the 14AWG wire). Both cords provide heavy-duty construction and weather-resistant sockets.

Product Details:

• Bulk reels DO NOT come with a plug. They are intended to be hard-wired to a power source or have an electrician install a plug.
• Be cognizant of the max run on each cord:
  • 14AWG cord is 1800 watts — with 11 watt bulbs, you can use up to 163 sockets (326 ft.); 15 watt bulbs, up to 120 sockets (240 ft.); and 25 watt bulbs, up to 72 sockets (144 ft.). You can use the entire reel with our LED bulbs.

• For indoor or outdoor use. Suitable for permanent outdoor installation (16AWG best used under protected outdoor structures).
• High quality sockets form a snug, weather‐resistant seal around the bulb. You must keep a bulb in every socket to maintain weatherproof quality.
• For IP64 rating (14AWG cord), any cut ends must be sealed with an end cap and/or electrical tape (ensure proper seal to preclude entrance of water).
• Keep bulbs/sockets at least 16 feet away from pools and spas.
• Install with sockets facing downward.
• For spans longer than 20 feet (14AWG) or 25 feet (16AWG), use a steel cable guide wire.
• 14AWG sockets have two mounting ears built into each side of the base, but for long-term reliability and easier installation, we suggest using zip ties on each side of the socket. Zip ties on each side of the socket on 16AWG is also recommended.
