patio lights

Deck string bulbs

Patio lights are decorative outdoor lights designed to illuminate patios, decks, and garden spaces.

The term typically refers to string lights—a strand of small bulbs hung overhead—though it can include lanterns, stake lights, or wall-mounted fixtures.

We strung patio lights across the backyard for the party.
