Our best selling outdoor string light set! Perfect for year-round use around the backyard, above the patio, for bars and restaurants and more! Weatherproof sockets and heavy duty wire make these outdoor string lights hassle free and durable See below for complete product specifications (specifically 14AWG vs. 16AWG).

Ships in 3-5 business days (cord and bulbs may ship separately).

*The 100 ft cords and 330 ft bulk reels do not connect end-to-end (see "Connection" below).

**The key differences between the two cord options is the 14AWG cord allows you to run longer lengths, and it has a bit heavier duty wiring (one extra weather-resistant layer). The benefit to the 16AWG cord is it's robust enough for commercial and outdoor 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.
