What to Compare Before You Add Lights to Your Cart
Line up the lighted length
Some listings give a total length and a shorter lighted length. Compare the lighted length so you know how much of the string actually glows.
Check how many strands can link
Connecting limits run from 5 to 60 sets among these picks. If you plan a big display, the limit matters as much as the length of one string.
Count the extras in the box
Spare bulbs, flasher bulbs, charging cables or a remote can make one set more useful than another with the same length.
Match the water rating to the spot
IP44 and IP65 sets are listed for outdoor use, while a set listed as not water resistant belongs inside.
Decide on plug, AA or rechargeable
Plug in sets need an outlet, AA sets need batteries on hand, and rechargeable strands need time on the charger.
