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

These LED outdoor string lights are one of our most popular sets! Now available in several color temperature options, this LED filament bulb is combined with a commercial grade cord to create the perfect Edison-style outdoor string light set! Complete product specs below (specifically regarding differences between the gauge of wires*).

*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.)
