Hampton Bay 48 ft. Outdoor Edison String Lights

Nothing turns a plain backyard into the place everyone wants to linger quite like a canopy of glowing Edison bulbs. This 48-foot Hampton Bay string light set brings that café-style warmth home, with 24 vintage-look S14 filament LED bulbs that cast a soft, golden glow over patios, porches, pergolas, and fences. Looking for more ways to upgrade your outdoor space? Browse our backyard ideas.

The bulbs hang 2 feet apart along a heavy-duty black cord, so a single strand covers a lot of ground, and you can link additional sets end to end when your space calls for more light. Because they’re energy-efficient 1-watt LEDs, you can leave them on all evening without a second thought. The shatter-resistant bulbs are a smart pick for homes with kids and pets, and the set is ETL wet-location listed, so it’s built to stay up through rain and changing seasons. They work just as well indoors, too, for a cozy sunroom or a party-ready basement.

Styling tip: Zigzag two strands over a patio dining table for an instant outdoor-restaurant feel, or drape them along a fence line to frame a fire pit seating area.
