Measure your outdoor space and decide where you want these outdoor light bulbs on a string positioned. Consider the 3-metre lead cable length when planning proximity to your outdoor power socket.

Step 2: Install Hanging Points

Step 4: Check All Bulbs

Before securing everything permanently, plug in and verify all 26 bulbs illuminate correctly. The E12 screw base makes any necessary bulb adjustments quick and easy.

Plug the lights into your outdoor power socket. Ensure the connection is protected from direct water exposure. Consider using a weatherproof outdoor socket cover for additional protection.

Step 6: Test Remote Functions

The remote comes pre-paired and ready to use. Test the dimming function, lighting modes, and timer settings to familiarize yourself with the controls.

Step 7: Final Adjustments

Adjust the draping and positioning of your outdoor light bulbs on a string to achieve your desired aesthetic. The integrated hooks make repositioning easy if needed.

 

Frequently Asked Questions About Outdoor Light Bulbs on a String

 

Can these outdoor light bulbs on a string stay up year-round?

Absolutely! They’re specifically designed for permanent outdoor installation. The weatherproof construction, shatterproof plastic bulbs, and durable wire mean you can leave these outdoor light bulbs on a string in place 365 days per year through all British weather conditions.

 

How long do the LED bulbs last?

Each LED bulb is rated for 30,000+ hours of use. If you run them 5 hours every evening, that equates to approximately 16 years of use per bulb. The E12 standard base makes replacement bulbs readily available online if needed after many years of service.

 

Do I need an outdoor power socket?

Yes, these outdoor light bulbs on a string require AC mains power via a standard UK plug. An outdoor weatherproof socket is ideal, though you can use an indoor socket with the lights positioned outside if the plug connection remains protected from direct rain.

 

How bright are these compared to solar string lights?

Significantly brighter! Mains-powered outdoor light bulbs on a string deliver consistent, powerful illumination that solar alternatives cannot match. The 0.2W LED per bulb provides excellent visibility whilst remaining energy-efficient.

 

Can I connect multiple sets together?

These outdoor light bulbs on a string are designed as standalone 20-metre sets. For larger areas, position multiple sets side by side, each with its own power connection and remote control.

 

Is the remote control waterproof?

The remote should be kept dry. Use it from under cover or store it indoors when not in use. The string lights themselves are weatherproof for permanent outdoor installation.

 

What if I need more or fewer bulbs?

The 26-bulb configuration provides optimal spacing across 20 metres. However, the E12 base means you can technically add standard E12 bulbs if you have extra sockets, or remove bulbs if you prefer wider spacing (remaining sockets will still have power).

 

How much does it cost to run these lights?

Very little! At 5.2W total for all 26 bulbs, running these outdoor light bulbs on a string for 5 hours daily costs approximately £12-15 per year in electricity—remarkably economical for the beautiful illumination they provide.

 

Do the bulbs get hot?

No. LED technology means these outdoor light bulbs on a string remain cool to touch even after hours of operation. This makes them safe around children, pets, and materials like fabric canopies or wooden pergolas.

 

What’s the range of the remote control?

The wireless remote works from several metres away, allowing you to control these outdoor light bulbs on a string from your outdoor seating area without needing to reach the plug point.
