Outdoor String Lights

Commercial grade festoon and bistro string lighting for patios, courtyards and event spaces.

Home › Lighting Products › Landscape & Outdoor Lighting › String Lights

String lights are the fastest way to give an outdoor space a ceiling. Swagged over a patio or courtyard, they define the room, set the mood and put usable light on tables without a single pole or recessed fixture. Commercial grade strings, heavier wire, replaceable lamps, real strain relief, are what survive to do it again next season.

About Our String Lights

When needing to spruce up a backyard patio or outdoor restaurant dining, LED Spot string lights provide festive lighting for a variety of nighttime activities. Our selection includes commercial grade string lights in different lengths and bulb styles.

Commercial Grade Versus Consumer Strings

The difference is everything you cannot see from a distance: conductor gauge, socket moldings, jacket UV resistance and how the string carries its own tension. Consumer strings sag, socket cracks let water in, and January ends them. Commercial festoon runs tight, takes weather and holds replaceable lamps.
For restaurants, venues and any string that stays up year round, commercial grade is the only sensible buy.

Rigging a Canopy That Lasts

Good string installations hang from catenary cable, not from the string’s own wire. The cable takes the tension, the string clips to it, and the swag stays where it was designed. Anchor points into structure, posts or dedicated poles carry the load.
Plan the grid before ordering: bay spacing, swag depth and anchor points decide the lengths and lamp counts.

Light Quality Over Tables

Strings put many small warm sources overhead, which is flattering light for faces and food, the reason bistro lighting became shorthand for atmosphere. Warm color temperatures and dimming control let the same canopy run festive bright or dinner soft.
Pair with landscape layers below, path and feature lighting, so the space reads finished, not just roofed in bulbs.
