What is a String Light Adapter?
A string light adapter is a device that connects your commercial-grade string lights to a standard wall socket. It features a coaxial connection system specifically designed for use with certain types of decorative lighting.
Key Features
Coaxial power connection system that prevents string lights from pulling apart
Includes O-rings that create a weatherproof seal to keep water out
Contains an easy-to-replace 5-amp fuse for safety
12-inch cord with 120V AC power input
Available in green, white, or brown to match your installation
Why You Need a String Light Adapter
If you've purchased coaxial-type string lights like 5mm Steady or Twinkling Mini Lights, Slow Twinkle Mini Lights, or C6 String Lights, you'll need an adapter to power them. Each separate run of lights requires one adapter to function properly. You only need one adapter per feature, or one adapter per run of lights. A ‘run’ of lights refers to a continuous run of string lights connected end-to-end. You can connect up to 45 25ft strings in one run or 120 7ft strings in one run.
