addlon Outdoor String Lights 100FT

These addlon outdoor string lights are aimed at anyone who wants to add warm light to a backyard, patio or pergola, rather than rely on a single bright fixture. The set is supplied as two 50FT strands.

Its 30 sockets and 32 shatterproof LED bulbs suit a run across a seating area, with two spare bulbs included. The listing also describes the lights as dimmable and linkable.

That gives you a few ways to set up the space, but there’s one practical detail to plan for: a compatible dimmer is not included.

Technical details

The pack contains two 50FT strands, for a stated total length of 100FT. There are 30 lamp sockets and 32 warm white LED bulbs, including two spares. Each bulb is listed as 1W, and the stated lifespan is up to 10,000 hours.

The lights are rated IP65 and described as waterproof for outdoor use. They’re also listed as shatterproof, dimmable from 5% to 100%, and linkable. A compatible dimmer is required for dimming and is sold separately. The product name mentions a remote control and timer, the available details don’t explain their settings or operation. The listing also states three-year product support.

Getting the most from it

The two separate strands give you flexibility when planning a layout: for example, one can run along a pergola edge while the other continues over a nearby seating area. Linkability may help when a single run doesn’t suit the space, though no maximum number of connected strands is provided.

For a relaxed patio setup, warm white bulbs can provide a softer feel than a single, more concentrated light source. It may suit you if you want decorative lighting across an outdoor gathering spot and value spare bulbs in the pack. Based on the listed details, the IP65 rating is intended for outdoor exposure, but it doesn’t tell you how to mount or route the strands for every installation.

Usage tips

Plan the path of each strand before hanging it, including where the power connection will sit and how the bulbs will be spaced around your seating area. If you want adjustable brightness, factor in the separate compatible dimmer, the listed 5% to 100% range won’t be available through the strands alone. The remote and timer are named in the product details, but their controls aren’t specified, so don’t assume particular schedules or modes.

For a small dinner outdoors, you could run the lights above the table and dim them to keep the area softly lit. If you need strong, task-focused illumination, a dedicated brighter fixture may be a better fit. The strings are designed for atmosphere across a space, not described as a replacement for every kind of outdoor lighting.

Before deciding

Does the pack include spare bulbs? Yes. It includes 32 bulbs for 30 sockets, with two spare bulbs.

Can the brightness be adjusted? The listing gives a dimming range of 5% to 100%, but says a compatible dimmer is not included.

Are the strands suitable for linking together? They’re described as linkable, but the available details don’t state a maximum connection length or number of strands.

Before you buy

Choose these if you want warm, decorative light across a patio or pergola and the two-strand format fits your layout. They’re less suitable if you need an included dimmer, detailed instructions about linking multiple sets, or a clearly specified brightness level for task lighting. It may not suit you if those details are essential to your setup.
