Designed for long-term outdoor use, commercial grade string light cords provide the durability to withstand year-around weather conditions. Typically used for permanent outdoor installations, commercial grade is by far the most popular, and smartest choice. Below are the key features that set commercial grade string lights apart:

1.Commercial grade cords have weatherproof sockets which are formulated PVC that form a tight seal around the bulb in order to prevent the entrance of water and moisture. This feature is particularly helpful when you are looking for long-term, year-around outdoor string lights.

2.The heavy duty wire in the commercial string lights provides better gauge wiring. The gauge of a wire (AWG) is the thickness-the lower the gauge number, the thicker the wire; and the thicker the wire, the more amps you can typically run.

3.With lower gauge wiring, longer runs are allowed for your installation. Make sure you review each cord and bulb products specs to make sure you do not exceed the max run of the decorative string lights using commercial grade light strings.

4.Many of the customers just want the same professional look that is most often seen above bar and restaurant patio areas. It is quite easy to make your own patio and backyard have a designer look with commercial grade string lights!

2.A great option for indoor use, when you wish to add accent lighting to a three-season room, the game room, a kid’s room, or during the holidays on larger Christmas trees when mixed with mini lights.

3.Also perfect for temporary use, the standard grade is a great choice for short-term event lighting for backyard parties, wedding receptions and more!

4.The low price point is attractive to many people when they are looking for a quick and easy solution for patio and event lighting, as well as smaller, less permanent application.
