Outdoor patio help: string lights
Posted on 10/26/17 at 4:41 pm
Posted on 10/26/17 at 4:41 pm
Need me about 75 ft of some good reliable string lights to run from one corner of outdoor kitchen roof, go around a tree, then make a 90 degree turn back to the corner of the roof of the house
Would love not to have to hang guide wires with them but recognize I'll probably have to
Any suggestions?
Right now Lowes has 48 foot of Cascadia brand for $65 and that's what I'm leaning towards but am very open to suggestions
They also have 24ft Portfolio brand for $60 which will be more work hooking them all together but are LEDs so may be worth it
Im not worried much about price I just want to put up some good reliable lights
TIA

I’d go led.

I've seen these at the Costco Business center here in Vegas, and people are buying them all the time.

$49.99 if you buy online
But, yeah, if you want them to last a long fricking time, then LED is the way to go.

Costco has those lights for 30-something dollars. Different brand but 48 ft. They also have LED ones that are the same style for cheaper than the Lowe’s ones. At least they had them a few weeks ago.

I hope you don't have a lot of squirrels around your house. They chewed through the wires on mine. I would probably not go around the tree. That was where they chewed on them.

You can get a good 100' outdoor strand with G50 globes on Amazon for $75 with clips on the sockets.
If you get LED, make sure it's warm and not white tint.

The Brightech ones on Amazon are great, very heavy duty and they look good.

There was a good thread on the OB recently.

there's some LED ones at Costco, 48' for $50. Has a remote that can change the color of the lighting and whatnot. They also have some incandescent ones that are similar that are really good quality. I have them in my backyard and it's nice because it also came with spare bulbs. Either set can just have 2 of them plugged together. They have little loops that you can run a wire through for hanging them (I know you said you don't want to, but at that distance you need support).

Bought these on Amazon.
Patio Lights on Amazon
Hung them with some 3M adhesive hooks from my insultated patio’s celing outside on the back patio. Have gone through winter, spring and summer and a few Tropical Storms and summer storms with no issue. Plus it’s Amazon. You buy 4 strands for about $60 and if they mess up you can return them...and they may not charge tax.
They look great IMO...
