How to Choose

Warm white is the most popular choice for outdoor entertaining — it casts a flattering, relaxed glow that works in every outdoor setting. Cool white is crisper and more modern. 5mm strings are the most versatile for railings and pergola wrapping; G12 globe strings create a fuller aesthetic for overhead stringing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the best color for patio lights?

Warm white is the most universally flattering for outdoor entertaining. Cool white is popular for modern outdoor spaces. Any of our standard color strings work equally well outdoors for seasonal color.

Can Christmas lights be used outdoors year-round?

Yes. All LED strings at The Christmas Light Emporium are rated for outdoor use year-round. The construction, weatherproofing, and UV resistance are built for extended outdoor exposure.

Are LED strings weatherproof enough for all seasons?

Yes. Our strings handle rain, wind, UV exposure, and temperature extremes across all seasons. All are backed by our Reindeer Proof™ Warranty.

How do I hang lights on a pergola?

For overhead stringing on a pergola, use screw-in hooks on the beam underside, spaced every 18–24 inches. Drape strings in a catenary (hanging arc) between hooks for a relaxed cafe-light look, or pull them taut for a clean geometric appearance.
