String Lights

String lights are most commonly used at the winter holidays, but can provide interesting and decorative lighting effects year-round.

While party lights are meant for fun, plain white string lights can lend a touch of elegance to a dining room or backyard cocktail party. The lights can be decorated to look like lanterns or stars. String lighting on shrubs or trees can provide a gentle light that helps visitors make their way to the door without disturbing the neighbors' rest.
