When do I need an LED adapter for my light strings?

When do I need an LED adapter for my light strings?

LED plug Adapter

Only our commercial LED strings need adapters.  They have proprietary coaxial screw down connectors.  You’ll need a power adapter or plug adapter in order to plug them into an electrical outlet.

 

All of our other LED light strings have standard male and female plugs and do not require special accessories.

 

The commercial light strings have the word “commercial” in their product titles. They also have a “C” as the first letter of their item number.

 

We are currently closing out this product line.  Be sure to take advantage of the current low prices for these sets.
