Commercial Grade String Lights & LED ST58 Vintage Bulbs (medium/E26 base)

Install vintage elegance without high energy costs with these commercial grade LED string lights! These weatherproof, heavy-duty lights make excellent event lighting or permanent outdoor lighting for home or businesses! Easy to install, these string lights add instant beauty wherever you use them! 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.)
