Looking for good, quick knot. (Tying lights to pergola with fishing line)

I have these "low profile" "fairy" noma led lights that I attach to my pergola in backyard. I want low profile so I use fishing line to attach to the cross beams. It's time to swap the line of 100 LEDs out because of course cheap Chinese LEDs only last 1 year. I'm not a fisherman.. but does anyone have a quick knot I can use to attach lights?

In this case, the good old square (reef) should do what you need.
It tends to get over-used and is over rated, and in many cases there are better knots, but in this case nothing is simpler.
Google it, and pick your favorite instructions from the million hits.

Why not some hot glue?
