What are the longest lasting outdoor lights?

Why is the durability of outdoor string lights crucial?

Outdoor lighting is not only needed to light up the night, but also to withstand the elements, UV rays, and extreme temperatures. Frequent replacement of poor quality light strings can waste time and budget, and even cause safety hazards due to short circuits. Durable outdoor light strings last 5-10 years, reducing maintenance costs while providing consistent and attractive lighting for your garden, patio or commercial space.
