Hanging outdoor string lights is a simple and effective way to add atmosphere to your patio, garden, building outline, or trees. Unlike strip lights that need adhesive backing or clips, string lights are flexible and easy to wrap around objects like trees, poles, fences, and columns.

Here’s how to install them properly and securely.

Choose Where to Wrap Your Lights

String lights are perfect for wrapping around:

• Tree trunks and branches

• Wooden or metal columns

• Balcony railings

• Fence posts or gates

• Building outlines or roof edges

Decide how many lights you’ll need based on the height or length of your chosen objects. Our standard options are 10m and 20m, and we also offer custom lengths.

Start from the Power Source

Before hanging, locate your power outlet or USB power bank, and begin installation from that point. Make sure the Bluetooth controller and power adapter are kept in a dry area or covered with a weatherproof box if used outdoors.

Wrap and Fix Every 1 Meter

As you wrap the string lights:

• Secure them every 1 meter using zip ties, twist ties, or outdoor clips

• This ensures they stay in place even in wind or rain

• Avoid pulling the wire too tight — leave a little flexibility to protect the LEDs

For trees, wrap around the trunk in a spiral pattern. For railings or edges, run them along the length and fix at intervals.

Plug In and Test – How to Hang Outdoor String Lights

Once installed:

• Plug in the lights and make sure all sections work

• Use the Bluetooth app to test brightness, color, and modes

• Check visibility at night to adjust spacing or positioning if needed

Optional: Schedule or Music Sync via App

With smart Bluetooth control, you can:

• Set timers so the lights turn on/off automatically

• Sync lighting effects with music

• Change colors or modes based on your outdoor setting

Perfect for parties, holidays, or everyday evening ambience.

Quick Tip: No drilling or permanent hooks needed — just wrap and secure. This makes these string lights ideal for temporary setups like events, or seasonal décor like Christmas or weddings.
