We've been on the lookout for lights for the back deck since last summer and these ones we just picked up from Ikea fit the bill perfectly! These ones didn't specify if they were okay for outdoor use, but since this is a covered porch, we figured they would be okay.

The rattan shade adds to the whole breezy vibe and I love how you can see the silhouette of the lightbulbs through them. We bought the globe-shaped lightbulbs at Ikea too - they're energy efficient and should last 10,000 hours. Perfect for those long, languorous summer nights... can't you hear the crickets chirping already?
