Commercial Grade, Suspended Socket String Light & S14 Clear Bulbs (medium/E26 base)

Traditional meets commercial grade in this popular string light set for bigger jobs. These 11-watt sign bulbs are among our most popular. Whether your string lights are for a large event, outdoor patio, a big backyard space, these heavy-duty string lights are designed to last and withstand the elements. See below for complete product specifications (specifically 14AWG vs. 16AWG). 

* 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.
