Outdoor String Lights for Backyard, Patio, Deck, Garden

Distinguishing String Light Wires: Understanding Gauge and Model When it comes to string lights, the wire gauge and model are crucial factors to consider. The gauge of the wire refers to the diameter of the copper conductor, with a smaller gauge number indicating a larger diameter. Only 18 gauge wire or thicker are ETL certified for permanent outdoor use, while 20 gauge or thinner are suitable only for 90-day seasonal applications.

However, wire thickness alone does not tell the full story. Some sellers may increase the thickness of the outer rubber casing to create the illusion of a sturdier wire, when in fact, the copper core inside may still be of a thinner diameter. Therefore, it is essential to not only examine the wire's thickness but also its overall model and construction to ensure you are getting a high-quality, long-lasting product.

【High Quality & Long-lasting】 This outdoor string light is made with durable 18-gauge thick wire and high-quality copper, as well as LED bulbs that save energy and reduce maintenance costs. Unlike other seasonal string lights with thin wires that only last three months, this ETL-certified model is designed for safe, secure use in any weather year-round.

【Strong Waterproof & Shatterproof】 Even after hours of use in rain or snow, every LED bulb can continue to function properly. The plastic bulbs are much more shatter-resistant than traditional glass, making the hanging string lights highly resilient against damage, even if dropped. This makes them a safe and family-friendly option.

【Dimmable】 This string light is compatible with the SUNTHIN dimmer, allowing you to adjust the brightness by remote control or connect it to a smart dimmer for voice and phone control (dimmer sold separately).

【Connectable】 The end-to-end connections on these backyard string lights mean you can link multiple sets together to achieve the perfect length for any installation (up to 37 strands).

【Ideal Outdoor Lighting】 SUNTHIN's string outdoor lights can be a versatile, all-year-round lighting solution for your beautiful yard, porch, gazebo, terrace, or patio decor.
