Ratings & Reviews for GE Color Effects 50 -Count 32.6-ft Color-changing Multicolor LED Plug-In Christmas String Lights

Junk

We have been back to the store several times for new lights. They don't even last a month. These should be off the shelves and Lowes should refuse to sell them.

Dud Lights! 2 Different Strands Didn't Work!

Purchased these pathway GE lights and they didn't work right out of the sealed brand new box! What a dud! I don't recommend

Worst lights I have ever used

Within the first week of use last year 3 of the bulbs became stuck on red only and would not change colors a year later, after replacing the battery in the remote just to be sure, the lights don't even turn on. Do not, under any circumstances waste your money on this product..

DO NOT BUY!

None of the 4 sets of lights I bought worked right out of the box. Got only 1 working after changing fuse…and it lasted about 1 hour and quit.

Lights are junk

Half died within a week. The rest slowly went as well. Reached out to customer service and they wanted me to pay to mail them back and then who knows what. I already lost over $50 a string on these. I'm not spending any more.

GOOD LOOKING PRODUCT, BAD CHOICE

Bought mutiple boxes of this because of its RGB ability. Within one week of display up and running. Several strings either failed completely or half a string would fail in between connected strings. Not what was expected considering the cost of product. Didn't expect GE to release such a bad product. Didn't expect Lowes to allow a bad product to go on shelf. As a Lowes customer . I expected what was being promoted by GE. As a Christmas display guy. It forces you to purchase online from a legit ...

Beware of boxes opening upon picking up

Light's are wonderful, the box they come in are horrible. Every box i picked up everything falls out

Works exactly as promised!

Works exactly as promised!

Good lights

Lights are easy to install with clips. All my lights worked out of the box and have continued to work. I like one remote will talk to all the sets and will change the settings accordingly. I recommend these lights if you can get a hold of some.

Garbage lights. Don't waste your time or money.

We bought 8 boxes last year Dec 2023... Worked okay other than one strand decided to stop working, couldn't get them to sync together. This year we pull them out to put up and not a single strand works.. stored properly and used as they should. Not even a year old! Very disappointing for the price.

DO NOT PURCHASE these

This product is not good at all. it states you can add up to 5 connections, I connected 2 and they stopped working. I reached out to GE and they want me to pay to have shipped to them to try and fix or replace. I don't want the items if they do not work. They will not be here in time for xmas to hang. Very disappointing. Out over $325 on this product.

Do not buy

Bought two strands last year. Both strands had lights out or lights that would not color sync. Returned one strand, got the other to work. Stored inside the rest of the year, spent an hour hanging them this year for them not to work. Fuses still intact, extension cord getting power, but the lights are all out. Very cool when they worked, but not worth the hassle from an unreliable and substandard product. Would not recommend.

Amazing when they work

I was so excited to have purchased these, but they unfortunately have only lasted one season before strands started going out. I brought them out this year and was incredibly disappointed. I truly thought GE was a high quality brand. I also bought GE path markers that have quit working after one season. Truly disappointing. They are really cool when they work, but the investment is not worth it.

worked nice but then stopped working

these lights are nice when they work. I bought 5 strings and 3 stopped working after a month.

Great Lights!

I felt compelled to jump in and write a review about this product because after we purchased the lights, I read all the reviews here and nearly returned them, without installing because everyone seemed to have such bad experience! Friends, this is one of those situations where people only write reviews when they’re unsatisfied and others like me, go about their day. So here I am… The lights hooked up and synced up perfectly, just make sure (per the institutions) that the receivers are in range...

Strand not working

Purchased three of these last November and they worked through the 2023 holiday season. Just put them up again, and one strand is out. Its the middle strand, and I'm pointing the remote directly at the receiver, so I'm at a loss. Looking at all these 2024 comments I guess I'm not alone.

Shame on you GE for your expensive shoddy product

Worked great for 1 season. Thats it. Went to hang for second season and only half of the string is lit on every set I bought. After hours of troubleshooting, checking every bulb, checking fuses, I can’t get these to light all bulbs correctly at the same time. I narrowed down the problem I think isolated to a green socket base about midway where 3 wires go into bulb socket something with the wiring and I’m unable to fix this without some kind of electrical soldering. As a regular non electrical c...

Pricey for One season

We have been using these lights for the last four years. We need about 12 total strands, and each year we need to replace about 6 strands of the 12. Sucks because at $54.00 each, and the fact that they LED Lights we should be working from our original 12. On another note we have some incandescent mini motion lights we bought in 2000, and they still are working just fine after all this time. We have still have a few extra brand new sets in the that we bought back then just incase of a failure...
