Installing patio string lights safely starts with the right extension cord and ends with protected plug connections. Every joint between your extension cord and string lights is a potential failure point — rain, dew, and moisture can cause shorts, tripped GFCI breakers, and complete light failures. CordSafe PLUS seals every connection in seconds.
Patio String Light Installation Guide
- Plan your layout and measure cord runs before buying extension cords

- Hang lights with appropriate hooks or clips rated for outdoor use
- Snap CordSafe PLUS over every plug connection before powering on
- Connect to a GFCI-protected outlet
- Use a timer for automated on/off control
CordSafe PLUS fits 12–18 AWG outdoor extension cords. Reusable season after season. Made in USA.
