String Lights (8 items found)

Lighting for indoor spaces goes beyond traditional lamps and ceiling fixtures. Decorative string lights can add appealing accent light to brighten up rooms year-round or give specific areas festive makeovers for the holidays. Ace can help you bring your bright ideas for lighting to life with an array of string light options to inspire you.

String Lights Power Options

There are two main types of decorative indoor string lights: electric and battery-operated.

• Electric lighting plugs into a standard wall outlet, so you never need to worry about changing batteries to keep your lighting strings glowing.
• Battery-operated string lights eliminate the need for extension cords, giving you the freedom to place accent lighting wherever you desire.

For a more rustic feel, you can complement your string lights with candles and oil lamps. Find refillable lamp oil and replaceable wicks at Ace.

Key Features of Decorative Light Strings

After deciding whether battery-powered or electric string lights are right for your home, compare the following characteristics to select your ideal lighting.

• String type and color: Light strings come in different styles. For a sleek, modern look, consider strings with exposed copper wiring. To keep attention focused on the lights themselves, choose wires wrapped in rubber or PVC in white, black or brown. Rope lights house the entire light string inside clear tubing, making wires almost invisible.
• Bulb size: Light strings can feature everything from oversized bulbs to tiny micro bulbs.
• Bulb shape: From retro curvy Edison bulbs to whimsy designs shaped like disco balls, you can choose from various bulb shapes to complement your decor.
• Bulb type: Some decorative light strings feature LED bulbs, which can outlast halogen and incandescent bulbs and are highly energy efficient.
• Bulb color: White bulbs are a popular option for decorative string lights, and you can opt for a soft, warm look or a brighter, cooler one. Light strings with colored bulbs and color-changing string lights are also available.
• Controls: To control your lighting more, consider choosing string lights with a remote control that can connect with your mobile devices via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.
• Timers: Some string lights feature programmable timers that automatically turn them on and off. Others offer the convenience of automatic shutoff after glowing for a certain number of hours.
• Length: Measure the area you wish to decorate to ensure you purchase decorative string lights of adequate length. To make some light strings longer, you can also add male-female adapters.
