Popular Trends in Decorative Lighting

Lights are not just for the holidays anymore! Decorative lights are the hottest new trend for year round decorating. Our large variety of specialty light strands add ambiance to any environment, occasion or project. Add that special glow to weddings, parties and baby showers or enhance your floral or craft designs. Showcase your collectibles or add cozy warmth to your home's atmosphere, indoors or out.

We offer brown, white or green wire for easy concealing. Choose from Electric or Battery Operated, long or short lengths and a variety of colors to suit most any need. Even better, is that now  decorative light strands are made so that if one bulb burns out, the rest remain lit. So you can use your lights again and again.

We recommend our Teeny Bulb Rice Lights for smaller projects, such as wreaths, berry garland, dollhouses, crafts and miniature  trees. 
Use our Battery Operated Rice Lights in weddings for your floral arrangements and table centerpieces. Decorate the cake table or a bird cage. 
Our Brown Wire Lights can be used inside or outside and are great for parties, holidays and events. Use them on your outdoor trees, bushes and fences. They can be wrapped around porch and deck railings, lattice, patio umbrellas, gazebos and pergolas. White bulbs look great year round or use color bulbs to match the season or holiday.



Look for the following new and unique decorative lighting products, now available on our website: www.outerbankscountrystore.com

Brand new this year, is our St. Patrick's Day Strand of Green Wire Christmas Lights with 50 solid green Bulbs. These are great for indoor or outdoor use and the lit length on this strand is 14 feet. If you own a bar, are having a party or just love Saint Patrick's Day, these lights will add the green glow you're looking for.

Perfect for the upcoming Patriotic holidays, are our White Wire strands with Red, White & Blue bulbs. These have a whopping 150 bulbs on each strand and even more unique, is the fact that the bulbs are "clustered" together in groups of 3 (clusters of three Red, three White, 3 Blue) for a brighter, more festive look. These can also be used inside or outside, so they're perfect for summer barbecues with your friends and neighbors.
