Commercial Grade String Lights & LED S14 Vintage Amber Bulbs (medium/E26 base)

Our top-selling string lights now with beautiful amber bulbs! Perfect for a year-round vintage glow in 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 Complete product specs below (specifically regarding differences between gauge of wire).

*The key differences between the two cord options are the 14-gauge cord allows you to run longer lengths (see "Max Run" below). The 14- and 18-gauge cords have an extra layer of weather resistant insulation (SJTW wire type). The benefit to the 16-gauge cord is it's robust enough for commercial use but light enough for easy installation (about 1/2 the weight of the 14-gauge wire). All provide heavy-duty construction and weatherproof sockets for year-round outdoor use. Areas with extremely fluctuating weather conditions should consider the 14-or 18-gauge; the 16-gauge still works well if being installed under protected areas (e.g., covered areas, under eaves, etc.)
