Outdoor String Lights

-- Steady & Reliable Manufacturer --

Product Overview

Outdoor string lights are lamp strings built for installation outside a building: patio perimeters, pergolas, garden paths, building frontages, terraces and event grounds. They have to cope with rain, temperature change and long cable runs, so the points that matter to a buyer are the ingress protection rating, the cable construction, the lamp base and the power source. Ningbo Hengboyi Lamp Co., Ltd. produces mains-powered and solar outdoor strings at its factory in Yuyao, Ningbo.

The String lights category on the website carries an IP44 rating, which covers splashing and rain, and describes a circuit design aimed at even brightness along the string with reduced voltage drop. Mains models are rated AC220-240V and connect directly to household supply. The range also includes rubber engineering string lamps with a US standard integrated E26 spiral socket version and a European version, which are intended for fixed installations rather than seasonal use.

Solar models remove the need for a mains socket. The G40 integrated solar string light uses an E12 base, a 5 m cable with 10 lamps and a solar top, and switches on automatically at dusk with IP44 protection. The website lists 12 solar string light models and 3 solar wall light models.

The main customers are importers and distributors serving garden and leisure retail, e-commerce sellers, hotel and resort operators, landscape contractors and lighting brands that need an outdoor line made to their own specification.

The G40 clip-on model page lists a double parallel 0.4 mm² wire, a 0.4 m extension cable and a 1.5 m power lead. For permanent outdoor exposure, buyers should compare the IP rating on the individual model page, since it differs between models.

Applications and Target Customers

Outdoor string lights are bought for exposed locations, so the application and the model are matched through the ingress rating, the cable and the power source. The table lists customer types, locations and the series that fit.

Customer Type Typical Location / Relevant Series

Importers and distributors Garden, patio and leisure retail programs. IP44 mains strings, solar strings.

Customization Capabilities

For outdoor strings, the customization points that buyers ask about most are string length, wire type, lamp spacing, voltage version and packaging. The website lists voltage, length, wire type, appearance and packaging as adjustable, and the OEM/ODM scope covers product design, specifications, packaging and branding.

The OEM/ODM process runs through requirements discussion, sample production, mass production and delivery. For outdoor orders, the IP requirement is written into the requirements stage so that the sample is built and checked against it. Inquiries can be sent to sale2@hengboyi.com or +86-574-62838966.

Certification and Quality Systems

The About page lists CE and RoHS as certifications obtained around 2020 and states that the products meet international safety and waterproofing standards. Waterproofing is relevant to outdoor strings, and the IP rating is published on each model page. The table shows the listed certifications and their market relevance.

Certification Status on Website Relevant Market Relevance to Outdoor Strings
Table 4. Summary of certifications and compliance for outdoor string lights.
CE Listed, obtained around 2020 European Economic Area Required marking for electrical products sold in the EU
RoHS Listed, obtained around 2020 European Union Restricts hazardous substances in cable and components
IP rating Published per model, with IP44 for the String lights category and IP42 on the G40 clip-on model All markets Describes splash and rain protection; it is a rating, not a certificate
Certificate images Three images on the certification page Document review Model-specific copies can be requested

Approvals beyond CE and RoHS are not listed on the website. If an outdoor project in a given country requires an additional approval, the buyer can raise it with the sales team at the inquiry stage so that the requirement is reviewed against the chosen model.

Quality Control Process

The company describes quality control as covering the whole order, and its factory page shows a laboratory. For outdoor strings, inspection focuses on the attributes that decide how the product behaves outside: the ingress rating, the cable, the connection points and the power source. The table lays out the checks.

Stage What Is Checked / Reference
Table 5. Summary of quality control stages for outdoor string lights.
Sample development Lamp base, cable construction, string length, IP rating against the requirement. Customer specification.
Trial production Sealing at lamp holders and joints, connection of multiple strings, solar panel and lamp function on solar models. Approved sample.
Production-line inspection Lamp function, voltage marking, wire type, uniform brightness along the string. Production specification.
Mass-production inspection Quantity, labels, packaging content, carton marking. Purchase order.
Additional tests Water spray, temperature or burn-in tests requested for a project are written into the specification. Agreed per project.

The G40 clip-on model page states an operating temperature range of -10 to 45 °C, and checks against that range follow the model data.

Lead Time and Production Capacity

Hengboyi has made lighting products since 2003, moved into decorative and LED lighting in 2008, entered overseas markets in 2012 and upgraded its production and testing facilities in 2018. Outdoor strings use the same injection molding and assembly base as the rest of the decorative range, so mains and solar outdoor models are scheduled in the same factory.

Factory area, headcount and monthly output are not published on the website and can be requested from the sales team. Inquiries can be sent to sale2@hengboyi.com or +86-574-62838966.

Packaging and Logistics

Outdoor strings are packed so that cables and solar tops are protected in transit. Packaging design is part of the customization scope, and carton data is fixed once the model and the packing style are chosen. The company prepares export documents through its own qualification.

Item Detail
Table 7. Summary of packaging and logistics for outdoor string lights.
Retail packing Customizable design and content, including brand elements
Carton size and quantity per carton Set per model and packing style, stated in the quotation
20GP and 40HQ loading Calculated from the confirmed carton and quantity
Loading port Confirmed in the quotation; the factory is in Yuyao, Ningbo
Trade terms Stated by the buyer in the inquiry, such as EXW, FOB or CIF

Shipping marks and carton printing follow the buyer's instructions. For orders that combine mains and solar models, the packing list separates the two groups so that customs documents and warehouse receiving match the cartons. Buyers who plan a mixed container can list the models and quantities in the inquiry, and the loading plan is returned with the quotation. The company states that it handles its own export documentation and logistics, so the shipping documents are prepared by the same team that confirms the order.
