General Mounting Tips: Best to install the string without the bulbs in the socket to lessen breakage. A guide wire (aircraft wire) is recommended to reduce stress of the string and provide a clean professional look. Use the guide wire in accordance with an eye bolt and a snap hook. You can use a zip tie to connect the string wiring to the aircraft wire. Make sure and screw the light bulb in tightly so that no moisture can affect the socket.
