With patio lighting, you can decorate your patio for any special occasion quickly and inexpensively. There are so many different varieties available that finding one you like is not difficult. More likely, you will have so many choices that it is hard to pick just one.
Like having holiday lights year-round
Patio lighting is similar to strings of Christmas lights but rather than having an exposed bulb, they have decorative plastic covers over the bulbs. Most strands are 12 to 17 feet long, and have lights every 10-12 inches. Most will also have a few feet of “lead” wire to reach from your outlet to your roof or wherever you are hanging the lights.
Think Safety First when dealing with anything electrical
Always think of safety first and make sure that the lights you are considering are rated for outdoor use. And if you plan to connect multiple strands together, you will need to make sure that you are not creating a fire hazard by overloading your electrical circuits.
Inexpensive enough to change for every occasion
With prices most places between 10 and 20 dollars per strand, you can have a different set of lights for every season and every holiday. For spring & summer, there are flip-flops or you can create a beach atmosphere with sailboats and pink flamingos. There are bright colored leaves and turkeys for the fall. For your Fourth of July party, you can decorate with bright red, white and blue flags.

You can find lights to match any theme
If you are having a birthday party, you’re sure to find patio lights to match the honoree’s hobbies or interests. All types of sports-related lights are available or turn your patio into the wild, wild, west for your little cowboy or cowgirl. Every kind of zoo animal you can imagine is available, as are a dozen or more types of fish or fishing-related lights. You can even get a strand of Airstream camper lights for the vagabond.
Create a romantic atmosphere for a wedding party
If there is a wedding in your future, you can create a romantic setting easily by using strands of patio lights with white paper globes. Intersperse the paper globes with traditional white twinkle lights for an atmosphere that is perfect for romance.
Patio lights are versatile enough to decorate anything
You also have many choices when deciding where to place your lights. Around the edge of the roof is the most common place, with stringing them through the lower branches of the trees coming in a close second. Awnings, patio umbrellas, gazebos, and arbors are also popular places to use patio lights. If your patio roof has support columns, you can wrap strands of lights around the columns. You can outline the railing. This is especially effective if you have a distinctive design, like a starburst in your rails.

Indulge your creative side
If you have a large blank wall available, you can temporarily attach the patio lights to the wall in a pattern. Write your name, draw a Christmas tree or a star in lights. Outline a palm tree design for a beach theme party. Make a bell shape for a wedding. Their flexible nature makes patio lighting a natural for getting creative.

Patio lights can help you create whatever atmosphere you need, whether it is cheerful, romantic, or whimsical. They are a fast, easy and economical way to liven up your next outdoor party.
