Patio String Lights
Want to turn your Huntsville patio into the ultimate relaxation spot? Flex on some neighbors with String lights are an easy and affordable way to add instant charm and ambiance! Forget harsh floodlights – string lights offer a soft, inviting glow that’s perfect for evening gatherings, quiet dinners, or just unwinding after a long day.
There are tons of string light options out there, from classic incandescent bulbs to energy-saving LEDs. LEDs are definitely the way to go these days. They last much longer (think 20,000+ hours!) and use a fraction of the electricity. For example, a 25-foot strand of incandescent string lights might use 175 watts, while an LED strand of the same length might only use 10-20 watts. That’s a huge difference on your power bill!
Installation is usually pretty straightforward. You can hang them from trees, fences, or even your patio cover. If you don’t have existing structures to hang them from, you can use poles or stakes. For a clean and professional look, consider having us install a permanent hanging system. We can run a guide wire and securely attach the lights, ensuring they’re evenly spaced and won’t sag or droop. This also allows for easy removal during the off-season.
Speaking of professional installation, it’s a great idea if you want to add a dimmer switch. Dimmers let you customize the brightness to perfectly match the mood. We can safely wire in a dimmer that’s rated for outdoor use, giving you complete control over your patio lighting.
Beyond the aesthetic benefits, string lights also offer a safety boost. They provide subtle illumination that makes it easier to navigate your patio at night, reducing the risk of trips and falls. Plus, a well-lit patio can deter potential intruders.
