Southwire 07538 Temporary String Lights Metal Guard 50 Ft

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 07538 is a heavy-duty temporary string light set designed for jobsite lighting in construction, renovation, and industrial work environments. The set runs 50 feet in length and is wired with 12/3 AWG conductors rated for 300 volts and 15 amps. Five lamp guards with metal construction protect bulbs from impact and incidental contact. Each socket accommodates bulbs up to 150 watts maximum. The OSHA yellow jacket makes the cord visible underfoot, reducing trip hazards in active work zones. Licensed electricians and general contractors commonly deploy these sets for temporary power lighting during rough-in phases or inspection work.

This string light set is suited for temporary lighting applications on commercial and residential construction sites, renovation projects, and industrial facilities. The 50-foot run provides practical reach between power sources and work areas. The 12-gauge conductors support the full 15-amp rating without voltage drop concerns over the cord length, making it appropriate for demanding temporary service installations where code-compliant temporary lighting is required.

Installation Notes

Temporary string lights of this type are typically installed by licensed electricians in accordance with NEC Article 590 governing temporary wiring installations. Verify the circuit supplying the string lights is protected by a GFCI device as required by code for construction site temporary power. Inspect the cord and lamp guards for damage before each use and do not exceed the 150-watt maximum bulb capacity per socket. Ensure the cord is routed to minimize trip hazards and is not subject to physical damage from equipment traffic.
