Find out what length of the string will have lights on it (some of it has no lights on it as said in the question). See how many 4 inches are then in that space. Don't forget to include the first bulb after you work out the total.

26ft = how many inches
Take away the piece of string with no lights (the 16 inches)

See what's left and divide by 4 inches (as each light is placed 4 inches apart).
Add 1 at the end as you didn't include the first bulb.
