I would definitely recommend the 100 strand solar Edison light set for the patio. I had bought it due to our old set being destroyed from the hail storm in April. I will never buy another set, the lights are shatterproof, I will never buy glass lights again . The one hundred strand is not as bright because it's spread apart more than our other set for the area that we have. I probably should have gotten a 50 strand, but besides that it is perfect! This set came with cables and a hook or hooks for getting it set up properly. My husband was very happy with the set ;said it was very easy to set it up. it has an automatic turn on and shut off and if you want it brighter, you can adjust that. I can't take a picture because it's morning. Very pretty though.
