For Halloween Decoration. I ordered outlets and bought 250 feet of lamp cord. I hung the pendants on branches and connected them to the FS-2 fluorescent starter. Watch a YouTube video on how to make "flickering lightbulbs" using these lightbulbs and a starter. This creates a scary random flicker effect. I never turned on the light when it rained. I ordered 25 watt bulbs, they can burst when they get hot and wet.
