Outdoor Bulbs for Parties

I am looking at something like this.
However these bulbs are only 3m in length whereas I am looking at something that would be about 20m...
I was thinking LED but that might end up being expensive. Then I thought I could get some outdoor Christmas lights, but then they wouldn't be that bright.
I found this website that does something pretty neat (as I want plugged versions, not solar power), but they're £100
Any ideas?

Assuming you mean the rope light that is around the decking, they are readily available across the internet, lots here for example in 20 metres https://www.amazon.co.uk/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=20m+outdoor+rope+lights&!!!!!googhydr-21&index=aps&hvadid=106197712695&hvpos=1t2&hvnetw=g&hvrand=1932773405768131321&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=b&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1006742&hvtargid=kwd-168245161527&ref=pd_sl_1zq1e2zukv_b
Or do you mean the festoon lighting that is across the top?

Sorry, yeah, the light bulbs, NOT the rope light.0

Ebay has loads. Try outdoor party lights, Christmas lights and similar terms.0

Yep - of which 20m will be about £100
I just didn't know if anyone knew of any cheaper alternatives.0
