See our HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR LIGHTS page for important information on tarnishing, fading, and tips for using Tru-Tone bulbs outdoors. All Tru-Tone bulbs use standard sized bases and can be used in any string or socket with a compatible base.
PRO TIP: When installed outdoors, we recommend installing the light string first, followed by the bulbs to prevent damage or accidents with them. See our HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR LIGHTS section for more helpful information regarding outdoor use and installation. Alternatively, keeping the bulk of your light strings coiled in an open top box or canvas bag during installation can also protect them.
