String-O-Lights®

Top Definition

The term String-O-Lights is a Trademark of McGill and it refers to a 100' pre-fabricated string of temporary lighting typically found on a jobsite after it has been gutted but lighting is still needed for the workers. It generally consists of two #12 solid wires to which 10 festoon sockets and plastic cages are attached every 10 feet. Competitors offer variations where the wire is rubber cord and/or where laundrydrops are added for power tools but the picture shown here is the typical item requested and sold.
