Every year, North American and European importers begin their Christmas lighting procurement cycle between June and August. By September, the most reliable factories in China are already running at full capacity. For wholesale buyers sourcing decorative string lights at scale, identifying a professional Christmas lighting China supplier with verifiable certifications, consistent output, and flexible OEM terms determines whether holiday inventory lands on warehouse floors by early November โ or gets stuck in customs.
Ningbo Yize Lighting Co., Ltd. (ๅฎๆณข็ ๆณฝ็ฏ้ฅฐๆ้ๅ ฌๅธ) has manufactured and exported decorative lighting from its Ningbo, Zhejiang base since 2009. Over 15 years, the company has shipped LED string lights, curtain lights, motif lights, and pathway markers to buyers across 80+ countries. Its 20,000 mยฒ factory employs over 300 skilled workers and produces more than 50 million lighting sets annually. The product catalog spans 500+ SKUs, supported by CE, UL, RoHS, BSCI, SAA, FCC, IP65, and ISO 9001 certifications โ a compliance portfolio that satisfies import requirements for the European Union, North America, and Australia-New Zealand markets without additional buyer-side testing.

Christmas string lights represent one of the highest-volume categories in the decorative lighting trade. A single mid-sized North American retail chain can move 200,000 to 500,000 string light sets during a holiday season. For procurement managers evaluating suppliers, the combination of UL listing for the US market, CE certification for Europe, consistent 2700K warm white output across production batches, and a factory capable of absorbing large orders without subcontracting is what separates established manufacturers from trading companies. Ningbo Yize checks all four boxes.
Premium Warm White Christmas String Lights 100LED โ CL-XL-100WW
๐ View Product Page: Premium Warm White Christmas String Lights 100LED โ
The CL-XL-100WW is the most consistently ordered Christmas string light SKU in Ningbo Yize’s seasonal catalog. It carries 100 SMD LEDs on a 10-meter green PVC wire, runs at 5.5 watts, and ships with dual-voltage compatibility โ AC 110V for North America and AC 220โ240V for European, Australian, and Middle Eastern markets. FOB pricing ranges from $0.85 to $1.20 per set depending on order volume, with an MOQ of 500 sets. Standard lead time after deposit confirmation is 25โ30 days.
What drives repeat orders for this particular SKU is not flashy feature lists. It is the combination of 2700K warm white color temperature โ the color buyers expect for traditional Christmas dรฉcor โ with end-to-end connectability that allows up to 10 sets to be linked in series, covering 100 meters from a single power outlet. For commercial installers decorating retail storefronts, municipal squares, or hotel lobbies, this daisy-chain capability cuts extension cord requirements and installation labor by roughly 60% compared to non-connectable strings.
Appearance & Structure
The CL-XL-100WW uses a traditional green PVC-insulated copper wire, 10 meters (33 feet) in total length, with 100 SMD LEDs spaced at 10 cm intervals. The green wire blends into Christmas tree foliage and outdoor greenery โ a practical design choice that buyers in garden center and hardware store channels consistently request over white or black wire alternatives. Each LED sits in a molded transparent faceted lens cap that disperses light at a wide angle, creating visible sparkle points rather than harsh pinpricks.
The wire itself is 0.5 mmยฒ copper conductor with double-layer PVC insulation rated for outdoor exposure. End connectors are injection-molded male and female two-pin plugs with weather-resistant collars. The male plug incorporates a small inline controller โ a sealed ABS plastic module measuring roughly 6 cm ร 3 cm ร 2 cm โ housing the mode selection button and memory chip. At 2.5 kg per 12-set carton (30ร20ร18 cm), the product packs efficiently for containerized shipping without fragile structural components that increase damage rates in transit.
Lighting Performance
All 100 LEDs output at 2700K correlated color temperature โ the warm white standard for residential and commercial Christmas decoration across Western markets. This is not a cool white or bluish LED disguised as “warm.” Each SMD chip is binned at the factory to maintain color consistency within ยฑ150K across production lots, so a buyer receiving 5,000 sets in August and a reorder of 3,000 sets in October gets visually matching product. Lumen output per LED is approximately 5โ6 lumens, yielding roughly 500โ600 total lumens per string โ bright enough for outdoor visibility at 15โ20 meters without overpowering adjacent decorations.
The IP44 rating indicates protection against solid objects larger than 1 mm and water splashes from any direction. This is the practical minimum for outdoor Christmas lighting: the string handles rain, snow, and condensation without shorting, but it is not submersible and should not be buried. For buyers in the UK, Ireland, Canada, and Northern Europe โ where December outdoor conditions routinely include heavy precipitation โ IP44 provides adequate protection for a seasonal product that retails at accessible price points. The 5.5W total power draw means a single 15-amp circuit at 110V can safely run approximately 270 sets connected in daisy-chained groups of 10, which matters for commercial installations where circuit loading calculations are part of the permitting process.

Recommended Applications
- Christmas Tree Decoration (Indoor & Outdoor) โ The 10-meter length wraps a standard 6โ7 foot commercial Christmas tree with consistent LED spacing. The warm white 2700K color matches traditional incandescent holiday aesthetics while drawing 90% less power than comparable filament strings.
- Retail Storefront Holiday Displays โ End-to-end connectivity up to 10 sets allows a single power source to illuminate 100 meters of window framing, awning edges, or entrance arches. The IP44 rating handles rain exposure on exterior storefronts without additional weatherproofing.
- Municipal & Town Square Decorations โ Procurement officers for city holiday lighting programs can specify dual-voltage units for consistent specification across projects. The 5.5W per-set draw keeps electrical load manageable when deploying 500โ2,000 sets across public spaces.
- Garden Center & Nursery Retail โ Green wire disappears against conifer foliage and hedge rows. Garden centers selling live Christmas trees benefit from a string that blends visually rather than standing out as a white or black line against greenery.
- Hotel & Hospitality Lobby Decor โ The 8-mode memory function lets hotel staff set a preferred lighting pattern once; the controller retains it through daily on-off cycles. No reprogramming needed when housekeeping turns lights on each morning.
- Wedding & Event Venue Decor โ The warm white output photographs accurately under professional lighting conditions (no blue cast that requires post-processing correction). Event planners can order by the pallet with confidence that all sets match in color temperature.
- Wholesale Distribution & Import-Ready Resale โ The carton configuration (12 sets per case, 2.5 kg) is optimized for pallet stacking and container stuffing. Pre-printed retail-ready packaging with CE and UL marks is available via private label service, eliminating repackaging costs at destination.
About Ningbo Yize Lighting Co., Ltd.
Ningbo Yize Lighting operates from a 20,000 mยฒ production facility in Jiangbei District, Ningbo, Zhejiang Province โ roughly 25 kilometers from the Port of Ningbo, one of China’s five largest container ports by throughput. The factory employs over 300 full-time production workers across assembly lines dedicated to LED string lights, curtain lights, motif lights, rope lights, and pathway markers. Annual output exceeds 50 million sets, with approximately 65% of production destined for North America and Europe during the peak Q2โQ3 pre-Christmas shipping window.
For import buyers, a factory of this scale offers two immediate practical advantages. First, production capacity absorbs large-volume seasonal orders โ a 40HQ container holding 75,000 string light sets represents roughly half a day’s output during peak production, not a multi-week bottleneck. Second, Ningbo’s port infrastructure supports direct sailing routes to Los Angeles (12โ14 days), Rotterdam (28โ30 days), and Sydney (18โ20 days) via major carriers including Maersk, COSCO, MSC, and CMA CGM, with weekly sailings on all three routes.
The company’s 500+ SKU catalog covers five principal product families:
- LED Christmas string lights (warm white, cool white, multicolor, RGB) in lengths from 5 m to 50 m
- LED curtain lights and icicle lights for facade and window decoration
- LED motif and figure lights (stars, snowflakes, reindeer, angels, custom shapes via OEM)
- LED rope and strip lights for architectural outlining and landscape use
- LED pathway markers, stake lights, and net lights for garden and lawn installations
Quality, Compliance & Certifications
Buyers importing decorative lighting into regulated markets face a specific compliance burden: products must carry the correct marks for their destination country, and those marks must be backed by test reports from accredited laboratories โ not printed on the packaging without verification. Ningbo Yize’s certification stack covers the three largest decorative lighting import markets with documentation that satisfies customs clearance, retailer compliance desks, and insurance requirements.

A practical cost example for mid-sized importers: one 40HQ container loaded with 75,000 sets of CL-XL-100WW at a mid-range FOB price of $1.00 per set represents a total FOB value of $75,000. Under the standard T/T payment structure, the 30% deposit equals $22,500, with the remaining $52,500 due before shipment. At an estimated sea freight cost of $3,800โ$5,500 for a 40HQ from Ningbo to Los Angeles (rates fluctuate seasonally), the landed per-unit cost before duties and local delivery falls in a range that supports healthy retail margins at typical US in-store prices of $8.99โ$14.99 per set. Buyers shipping to Rotterdam or Sydney should add approximately 10โ15 days to transit time and budget for proportionally higher freight costs.
