How can I hang up one strand of Christmas lights outside with no available outlet?
I want to light up one strand of Christmas lights on my balcony but I can’t run the extension cord we have through the sliding door. Is there such a thing as a battery pack for what I am trying to do? I’m open to any other suggestions as well.
No battery pack will last long enough to run Christmas Lights of of. The person who suggested a wireless device was incorrect. The best way to approach the problem is to run a heavy duty extension cord that is rated for outdoor use through a window. You can use some foam insulation, rope caulk or a rolled up cloth to cover the gap.

Yes, buy battery or solar light set. You will be in business. Peace.

They make solar christmas lights now. The first brand that comes to mind is Noma, available at Canadian Tire, but I’m sure other places have them as well.
They charge during the day and automatically come on at night.

You know, I was trying to find something to light up the ledge in my house and found a wireless outlet. It was at Walmart I think.

Eve P. is correct. An 14 awg out door cord would do just fine…

It would be most safe to got with LED Christmas lights because they cannot catch on file and are low voltage. You can power them by a portable battery if you wanted or run an extension cord through the window or the wall.
