SATCO Lighting S8038 24Ft, LED String Light, Includes 12-S14 bulbs, 2200K, White Cord

Yes. The S8038 24 ft LED string light carries a Wet location rating and an IP44 rating, and is listed for both indoor and outdoor use. That covers patios, courtyards, and pergolas exposed to weather. It hangs by plug-in cord and hooks, so it is a portable decorative run rather than a hardwired fixture.

No. The S8038 is non-dimmable, and it is not CCT selectable or wattage selectable either. Put it on a plain switched or timed 120V circuit. Running it through a dimmer risks flicker and premature failure of the LED bulbs.

The run is 24 feet, stated as 288 inches overall, and 12 S14 LED bulbs are included in the box. That works out to roughly one lamp every two feet. Cord is white.

2200K is a deep amber, warmer than a standard 2700K incandescent white and close to the glow of a filament bulb turned down. It reads as candlelight rather than task light, which is what most hospitality and outdoor dining installs want overhead. At 100 lumens it is ambient decoration, not illumination you can work under, so plan separate lighting for service areas and steps.

It is cETLus Listed, meaning it holds a listing recognized in both the US and Canada, and it is FCC compliant and RoHS compliant. That covers the paperwork most facility and hospitality inspectors ask for on a portable decorative string.

Rated life is 15,000 hours. Running dusk to close at roughly 6 hours a night, that is on the order of 7 years of service. The cord and sockets are PVC, and the string is a portable plug-in product, so it can be taken down seasonally and stored.

Figure 7.48 inches of drop for the socket and lamp assembly, with a 1.77 inch diameter at the widest point of the bulb. Add that to your suspension height when setting hook or catenary wire elevation over a walkway or dining area.
