Edison bulbs are popular for their exposed filament and their ability to create a discreet and warm ambiance. They are a perfect fit in a wall sconce or a protected light fixture for a bit of light in immediate space. Edison bulb string lights, on the other hand, can bring together more lumens of soft light onto your patio or porch to create a friendly atmosphere.
String lights can also use LEDs or even solar light bulbs. Outdoor solar lights use the energy from daylight and don’t necessarily need direct sunlight to operate, making them still suitable for cloudy days.
You can pair your outdoor light bulb with outdoor lighting accessories like solar batteries and mechanical timers.
