paper string lights

Paper lantern string lights plug into a standard outlet; listings commonly show 120 V, 60 Hz and low current/power values (examples given: 0.02–0.08 A and 2.4–9.6 W depending on the set).

Many sets are UL certified and rated for indoor or outdoor use, while some are described specifically for 'sheltered outdoor' use — check the product listing for the exact rating before installing outdoors.

Many sets include end-to-end connectors so multiple strands can be linked; product details often specify maximum total wattage or number of strands allowed (for example, warnings such as not to exceed 210 W or limits like up to 29 strands in some listings).

Many sets include extras like replacement bulbs and a spare fuse packaged with the string — check the product description to confirm what’s included with a given set.

Most listings show lantern covers around 3" high by 3" diameter; one patriotic style in the details is significantly larger (listed as 15" H × 8.5" W × 3" D).

According to the product details, if one bulb burns out the rest of the string will stay lit.
