    My daughter bought an outdoor light fixture that looks like a floor lamp. Takes the inside out.

    Strings of #C7 lights. Buy them after Christmas when they go on deep discount. Then next summer string them above your outdoor area. Fun!

    I purchased a string of lights that have a heavy plastic sheath over them. I found them at Big Lots. I wrapped them around my deck and they are so beautiful. Especially this time of year when the sheath has frost on it. I love looking outside and seeing them ;)

    Clear globe string lights! I hung them around my patio last summer I love the look! Target here in MO had them in the garden section for $15 per 40 ft. strand.

    I have a string of lights with clear bulbs on my pergola. With 11-watt sign bulbs it's the perfect amount of light for outdoor dining. Like Tammy's, mine have a heavy sheath around them, which is important because I'm near the beach and EVERYTHING rusts. Mine have been up for three years with no issues.
