50 Foot, 100 Ft Custom Length Temporary Lighting String with Birdcage
These temporary lighting string lights are designed for rugged construction and job site use, providing reliable illumination in harsh environments. The “birdcage” refers to the protective wire or plastic guards (cages) around each socket, which shield bulbs from impacts, debris, and weather while allowing easy access for bulb replacement. They feature NEMA-standard plugs (typically NEMA 5-15P for 3-prong grounded or NEMA 1-15P for 2-prong polarized options) for safe, standard 120V connections. Available in linkable configurations for daisy-chaining multiple strings or non-linkable standalone units. Custom color options may include cord colors (e.g., yellow for visibility) or shade variations, though standard models use durable, non-corrosive yellow SJTW (Service Junior Thermoplastic Weatherproof) cords. These lights are OSHA-compliant, UL-listed, and NEC-approved for temporary installations in indoor/outdoor settings like construction sites, warehouses, garages, and attics.

Usage and Applications
Perfect for construction, renovation, mining, patios, garages, or emergency lighting. Hang via hooks on cages or carabiners for flexible positioning. For LED upgrades, replace incandescent bulbs with 10-15W LEDs to achieve 5,000-10,000 lumens at 50-100W total draw, saving 80-90% on energy.
