Outdoor String Light Bulbs

The Best Outdoor Light Bulbs for Backyard Bliss

The weather just started getting warmer and you've created an amazing outdoor space with all the essentials for relaxing. There's a cozy place to lounge, excellent shade, and a nice breeze...ah, perfection! But when the sun goes down, that solo light bulb outside the porch or patio door is either way too bright or incredibly dim, and completely ruins the chill mood you set out to create.

Enter outdoor string light bulbs: the magic ingredient that's missing in your otherwise utopic outdoor oasis!

Classic Outdoor Decor: Globe Light Bulbs

Outdoor light bulbs come in all shapes, colors, and sizes, but the most iconic and popular is the globe light bulb. If you're overwhelmed by options, globe patio lights bulbs are a beautiful addition to every outdoor space. You can hang them across an alfresco seating area, from fence posts, and along porch railings and the result will be welcoming lighting that adds a festive atmosphere to your outdoor living areas.

Globe Light Bulb Size Recommendations

While shopping around for outdoor bulbs, you'll notice that globe bulbs are denoted by the letter G followed by a number: G30, G50, G95, and so on. The number following the G refers to the diameter of the bulb in millimeters. So, a G30 bulb is 30mm around, a G50 is 50mm around... you get the idea! The larger the number, the bigger the bulb. For smaller patios and outdoor areas, we recommend G30 & G40 globe light bulbs spaced 6-12" apart. If you're lighting a large outdoor event or dining space, larger G50, G95, & G125 bulbs spaced 12-24" apart are best.
