Frequently Asked Questions
What bulb type does this use and can individual bulbs be replaced?+
The strand uses 52 shatterproof ST38 LED bulbs in E12 sockets. Because they sit in standard sockets, individual bulbs can be swapped out. ST38 is a specific globe-style bulb shape — if you need replacements, search for E12-base ST38 LED bulbs at the correct wattage.
How does the cord color actually change the look of the installation?+
The cord comes in white, green, or black. White cord is visible against dark surfaces and reads as a clean, modern line. Green blends into foliage on trees and shrubs. Black disappears against dark wood, iron railings, and evening sky — making the bulbs appear to float.
How many strands can I link, and is there a maximum before I risk damaging the lights?+
Up to 15 strands can be linked end to end. Connecting more than 15 exceeds the rated electrical load and can overheat the wiring or blow the fuse. Plan your layout before purchasing: at 100 ft per strand, 15 strands cover 1,500 ft total.
What does dimmable mean in practice — does it require a separate dimmer switch?+
Yes, dimmable function requires a compatible external dimmer switch or smart plug with dimmer capability. The lights themselves support dimming, but the control device is not included. Standard on/off switches will not dim them.
The specs say the lights withstand heat up to 158°F — why does that matter for outdoor use?+
On a hot summer day, surfaces like dark decking or a pergola roof can reach temperatures well above ambient air temperature. The 158°F thermal tolerance means the cord and sockets won't degrade when exposed to direct sun on metal or dark surfaces in high-heat climates.
