Southwire 7538SW String Lights Metal Cage 120V 50 Foot

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 7538SW is a medium-duty temporary string light set designed for job site illumination in construction, industrial, and maintenance environments. The assembly runs on 120 volts and features a 50-foot 12/3 SJTW cord, which provides the durability and flexibility needed in rough-use settings. Each socket is protected by a metal cage guard to shield the bulb from impact and debris. The OSHA yellow cord color supports job site visibility and compliance with temporary wiring practices. Licensed electricians and general contractors are the primary installers for this type of temporary lighting system.

This string light set suits temporary power applications on active construction sites, in utility areas, warehouses, and maintenance corridors where overhead lighting is insufficient or unavailable. The 12/3 SJTW cord construction handles wet and dry locations, making it appropriate for both interior rough-in work and covered outdoor job sites. With five sockets spaced along the 50-foot run, the 7538SW provides distributed light coverage across a work area without requiring multiple extension cord drops.

Installation Notes

Installation and connection of temporary job site lighting should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with NEC Article 590 governing temporary wiring. De-energize the circuit before connecting or disconnecting the string light assembly. Inspect the cord and socket guards for damage before each use and do not exceed the voltage or amperage rating of the cord set.
