What do craft lights look like?
Craft lights are designed specifically for small projects where standard light strings are impractical. They’re commonly used in bottles, jars, glass blocks, and compact decorative displays where control, spacing, and ease of installation matter.
Each craft light string includes 10–35 bulbs and features a single male plug only — there’s no female end to manage. A key advantage is the 36-inch lead wire before the first bulb, which often eliminates the need for an extension cord when working on shelves, countertops, or tabletops.
These lights were developed specifically for customers creating displays with bottles and glass blocks, where a longer lead wire and compact bulb spacing make installation simpler and cleaner.
Craft lights are available in both incandescent and LED options. Incandescent bulbs produce warmth during operation, so they should be used with airflow, under supervision, and never inside sealed containers. Heat buildup can shorten bulb life and affect the bulb finish over time.
If a container must be fully enclosed, LED craft lights are the best choice. LEDs run cool and are well suited for closed or tight spaces where heat cannot dissipate.
In most projects, the final choice comes down to artistic preference — and sometimes budget. Both incandescent and LED craft lights can create beautiful results when used appropriately.

Hi, I'm Shellie and today we got an email from Sandra, asking about our craft lives. She asked, will I be able to put one end of these lights down a wine bottle? It says stackable but only one end of the strand. I wish the wire itself was in the pictures. I checked, I couldn't believe we didn't have a video about this. So I'm shooting one right now to answer these question.
This is a set of our craft lights. They have 20 mini lights to the strand and just one plug, and the great thing about these lights is that they're 36 inches between the plug and the first light. So you may not even need to run an extension cord to your project. These lights come in 10, 15, 20, and 35 mini lights to the strand, and so let me show you the end.
See right here, just one light bulb on the end. There's just three inches of wire between the bulbs, so you won't have a lot of wire left over in your projects. So Sandra, it really is going to be easy for you to just feed the lights right through the top of your wine bottle, or in this case a water bottle. Or like a lot of our customers, you may want to go ahead and drill a hole in the base of your bottle and just insert your lights through there.
So I hope that answers your question. Please send us a picture of your projects. We love to see our lights in application.
Thanks for stopping by.
