Outdoor Patio Lighting: Year-Round LED String Lights

Great string lights don’t have to come down after Christmas. The Christmas Light Emporium’s commercial-grade LED strings are built for year-round outdoor use — the same durability that handles a full December season carries through summer entertaining, spring gatherings, and fall evenings on the deck. Browse the spring and outdoor collection for additional seasonal outdoor options.

What’s In This Collection

Commercial-grade outdoor LED string lights in warm white, cool white, and select color options for patio, deck, pergola, fence, and garden use. Available across multiple lens styles. All backed by our Reindeer Proof™ Warranty.

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.
