Controlling outdoor patio lights safely means more than just plugging them in. Every connection point — between your extension cord, timer, smart plug, and string lights — is exposed to rain and moisture. CordSafe PLUS seals every plug joint, so your automated patio lighting setup stays protected and reliable.
Safe Patio Light Control Setup
- Use an outdoor-rated timer or smart plug with a weatherproof housing
- Match the timer's wattage rating to your total light load
- Protect every plug connection with CordSafe PLUS
- Connect to a GFCI-protected outlet
- Use outdoor-rated extension cords — minimum 16 AWG for standard string lights
