100ft 2-Pack Outdoor G40 LED Globe String Lights Dimmable Shatterproof Waterproof Light Strings with 52 Bulbs Connectable Commercial Hanging Lights for Patio Balcony Backyard Party (White Wire)

I hung about 225' worth of these lights using some stainless steel wire rope strung between my house and a large tree. There were four runs, none of which were cleanly divisible by 50', so I had to cut some of the strands short and wrap electrical tape around the cut ends (I bought three of these, i.e. 6 x 50' strands to make this work). I don't think these strands are intended to be cut like that, but I didn't really have any other option if I wanted it to look good.What I like about these:- Color temperature of these LED bulbs is nice. It's a warm white and not at all harsh which creates a nice relaxing ambiance.- 2' spacing between each bulb looks better than the 3' spacing that I've seen on those larger commercial style strands.- The weight of this style of lights is also much lighter than the commercial style strands, so it was pretty easy to hang up and doesn't sag much.- The brightness of the bulbs is perfect for me. I've got a lot of these lights hung to cover a large space, and I was worried that they would be too bright in aggregate, but they are good. I have the option to use a dimmer I guess, but it's not needed.- The clip built into each bulb socket was perfect for hanging onto the wire rope, no zip ties needed.What I don't like:- A tag on the strands says these are intended for 90 day temporary use. I didn't know that when I purchased these. The title uses lots of words like "outdoor" and "waterproof" so I had the impression that they were permanent. Had I known, I may have opted to buy some more expensive lights that are intended for permanent use. I don't intend to take these down after all that work putting them up, so I hope they survive the elements.Neutral:- Other reviewers said they were frustrated by having to screw in all of the bulbs. Yeah, it's a lot of bulbs to screw in, but I did it while the strand was still wound up from the box so the sockets were very close together and it wasn't really a big deal.- Many of the bulbs seem to have slight variations in color temperature, i.e. some are a slightly warmer or cooler color than the others. It's barely noticeable, but I kind of think it looks all right and adds some character.- One of the bulbs was not lighting up completely, but I used one of the spares that came in the box. One faulty bulb out of 150 bulbs isn't bad.Will I buy these again? I definitely like them a lot right now and have them on almost every night, but I will have to wait and see if they last. Maybe I'll come back and update my review in a year or two -- or maybe I won't.MARCH 2023 UPDATE: Still holding up strong! In the 2021/2022 winter, some squirrels chewed right through the wires in a few places that run near a tree branch, but I just spliced them back together again and sealed it with some electrical tape. I then wrapped that with some black mesh that's supposed to stop cats from chewing through wires, and no issues since. About five bulbs have burned out since I purchased them, but I've still got about 25 extras since I didn't use all of the string lights when I originally hung these up, so replacing them hasn't been a problem for me.

They work well, they look great!

These lights were just what we were looking for. They are easy to install and look great. The bulbs are on the smaller side but are still very bright. Would definitely buy more in the future!

We are having a backyard party and wanted lights for along our fence. I ordered 3 sets from Costco, having always trusted their product choices. They arrived 2 weeks before the party. We had to screw all the bulbs in and got them all hung (should have checked that they worked before-hand, did not. Too trusting), plugged them in and none of the strings worked! Tested the bulbs, they worked. Tested the strings in different outlets, no luck. I immediately jumped on Amazon to see what they had and how quickly we could get them. These were half the price, more length, unbreakable bulbs and came in one day!!! It was a blessing in disguise that the Costco strings were duds! So very happy with this purchase! They look great!

Excellent. The light is very crisp, clear and bright. The shatterproof bulbs are perfect for outdoor settings especially over cement patios. The backyard is very well lit without it being overwhelmingly bright.

Great product. I didn’t secure one part of the installation well and the lights fell from one side. They would’ve shattered if they were glass. I love that they’re plastic and actually look great. I bought a dimmer with remote control to use with it. They were very bright for my small space.

Exactly as advertised. They are bright and nice looking. They come pre-assembled which made stringing them up in the yard very easy. We had them hanging in less than 5 minutes. Love this product.

Love these lights. Super light weight which makes them easy to install. We've had the heavier ones and those are extremely hard to hang, they fall all the time.These are a mood at night and they're dimmable, you have to purchase the dimmer separately.
