Each socket on the string has its own clip, and we hooked them to clotheslines to form an overhead grid pattern. They’re effortless to install using the attached gutter clips. With a 2,700K warm white color, these romantic string lights set the backyard aglow. The string light includes 100 G40 incandescent bulbs and four replacement bulbs in case of any accidents. With 23 lumens of output and 5 watts of energy use per bulb, these lights made even the darkest hour of the night seem lively. This light-string strand is waterproof, energy-saving, and dimmer compatible. The long strand suits an elegant, vintage aesthetic with rounded Edison glass bulbs and a 100-foot length. We created a warm and inviting ambience in the backyard with these outdoor string lights from Brightown. From highly weather-resistant lights to vintage-style Edison bulbs to mystical fairy lights, this list includes a range of options to illuminate almost any outdoor space. We didn’t pull any punches, so rest assured, the string lights in this lineup are durable and up to the challenge of lighting up many types of outdoor spaces. We tested a wide variety of string light sets, and the following models all met our high expectations in a range of categories. We noted the length of the cord, the number of bulb sockets, and how easy it was to hang them on a structure. Then, we tested them again after they dried. For the ones advertised as being waterproof, we left them out in a rainstorm or (for those under the umbrella and covered patio) sprayed them with water. If the string lights were billed as shatterproof, we dropped them on a concrete patio from head height to see if they would crack. We scored them on both their brightness and illumination. After dark, we attempted to read or perform other activities-such as grilling-with just the illumination from the lights. We used a testing rubric that followed strict guidelines, including hanging the lights (some models) and leaving them in place for several days. We wanted to put these outdoor string lights through their paces to ensure their quality before readers purchase them.
