* 100 ft cords do not connect end-to-end (see "Connection" below).

** The key differences between the two cord options are 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 weatherproof sockets.

Product Details:

• For indoor or outdoor use. Suitable for permanent outdoor installation.
• High quality PVC 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.
• Assembly required. Bulbs will need to be screwed in. 
• For spans longer than 20 feet (14AWG cord) or 25 feet (16AWG), use a steel cable guide wire.
• Suspended socket has T-mold with mounting hole. For long-term reliability and easier installation, we suggest using zip ties on each side of the socket. Read more about How to Hang Outdoor String Lights.
