Night Watcher Lighting, a factory-direct supplier of outdoor decorative lighting, has completed a large-scale street lighting project on a major commercial street in Guangzhou, China. The project used LED string lights wrapped around trees to create a festive holiday atmosphere. With 50 meters of lights per tree covering over 50 trees, the installation totaled more than 2,500 meters of potting string lights. The entire project was completed in 15 days from order to final installation. All lights were manufactured in-house, featuring IP65 waterproof rating, UV resistance, and low-voltage safety.
Guangzhou experiences heavy rainfall and high humidity year-round. Standard string lights often fail within weeks. In this project, each LED was fully encapsulated with transparent potting glue, achieving IP65 waterproofing. After two months of outdoor exposure including rain and temperature swings, no light failure was reported.
Customer use case: The street management team previously replaced non-potted lights every 3–4 weeks. With Night Watcher Lighting potting string lights, they expect at least two years of trouble-free operation.
Public street decorations must meet strict safety standards. Our potting string lights operate at 24V DC, with the potting glue providing additional electrical insulation. The installation passed on-site safety inspections without any leakage or short-circuit risks — even after heavy rain.
The clear potting material makes individual components nearly invisible during daylight. At night, the lights produce a smooth, uniform glow without visible solder joints or exposed wires. This created the desired "light waterfall" effect along the tree trunks and branches, highly praised by local business owners.
Despite the scale of the project — 50 meters of lights per tree — Night Watcher Lighting completed the entire process in just 15 days, including:
This rapid turnaround demonstrates our ability to handle time-sensitive holiday and event lighting projects without compromising quality.

Q: Can Night Watcher Lighting potting string lights be cut to custom lengths for different tree sizes?
A: Yes. For this Guangzhou project, we produced 50-meter lengths per tree based on actual measurements. Contact us with your tree dimensions for a tailored quote.
Q: How fast can you deliver a project of this scale?
A: The Guangzhou project was completed in 15 days from order to final installation. For similar street lighting projects, we maintain fast turnaround thanks to factory-direct production and ready raw material inventory.
Q: Are these lights suitable for year-round outdoor use, not just holidays?
A: Absolutely. The IP65 potting and UV-resistant jacket allow continuous outdoor installation. Many Night Watcher Lighting clients use them for landscape lighting, park pathways, and commercial plaza decorations.
Q: Can potting string lights integrate with existing control systems (e.g., timers, DMX)?
A: Yes. They support standard 24V PWM dimmers and programmable timers. For larger projects, we can provide synchronized controllers for chasing or color-changing effects (RGB versions available).
Q: What is the minimum order for a street lighting project?
A: Night Watcher Lighting is factory-direct with no strict MOQ. Whether you need 5 trees or 500 trees, we can supply exact custom lengths. Email us your site photos or drawings for a free consultation.
