Ratings & Reviews for GE Energy Smart 100 -Count 66.0-ft Multicolor LED Plug-In Christmas String Lights

Don't waste the money as the circuit board burns o

Horrible product

Look great on our shed.

One of the lights was out on the string of lights and there is no way to replace it.

DO NOT PURCHASE THESE

I purchased two 100 count and one 75 count sets November 2022. They worked one season. The package indicates that they continue to work if a bulb fails. This is FALSE. When I pulled from storage to install for 2023. Two of the sets were not working. I troubleshot and replaced bad bulbs to get them working. I installed on the house and after three weeks, I have two sets on my house not working. I am fighting with GE to get replacements to avoid multiple trips up and down ladders to get working li...

You might get 1 season out of them

These lights were wonderful last year. They were on only in the evenings for a month, maybe a month and a half. They were taken down, put away and untouched until this season and when tested they all seem to be working but now that they’ve been on for less than 2 weeks, so many lights are out! I’ve never had so many strands of expensive lights go bad so quickly! GE should do a recall or replace the defective lights!

Love the color combination.

It matches the other lights i bought from Lowe's five years ago.

Riposs

Purchased in November 2023. Its December 9 2023 and 7 have already burned out. Had to rearrange the fuses and still burning out. Wasted $90 on these!

The lead-in length is too short.

The lead-in length is too short. The first bulb is only about 8 inches from the plug. The lights do not allow for two strings being connected from the plug in different directions, only to be chained together. If the plug point is in the middle of the house, an adapter is needed which I have never needed on any previous light strings.

Easy to Install - Large string of LEDs

The LED lights were just what we needed to replace our faded incandescent lights. The one hundred lights on one real make it easier to install. No more multiple short strings of lights.

Lasted 2 years

The lights looked great for two Christmases. This year they don’t light. I took them back to Lowes who said the fuses look fine and they’re supposed to work even if a bulb is out. I replaced the fuses anyway. Still nothing. Definitely not good for 5 years.

Trust me... JUNK

I have been buying these lights the last 7 years ive owned my home. Every year i have to replace half of them but they are the only ones i could find with purple so i did it. Just bought a new roll and 2 weeks later its out. These things are absolute garbage and there warranty is crap. You have to pay for shipping to get them fixed than wait like 6-10 weeks to get them back. do not buy

Only worked 1 season (1 month)

Bought this product along with the smaller bulb strand and the net lights and stored in a cool/dry storage container. Half of our lights won’t work this year. Have replaced bulbs and fuses and nothing. Crap product for an expensive price!!! So disappointed.

Didn't even last for the 2nd year

I'm really careful at storing my Christmas lights, wrap them carefully back into the plastic roll it comes with and then place it in a big plastic container but by the 2nd Christmas half the lights are out on BOTH the string lights I purchased. I remember my mom owning the same Christmas lights for like 10 + years and finally upgraded because she wanted LEDs not because they stopped working. These new products are cheap and meant to last 1 or 2 seasons before they need replacement. Don't waste ...

Sold a bad string of lights

There were 10 bulbs burned out when first plugged in. We had replacements so that was okay. Now the entire string is out and we can't open the fuse panel to see if that's the issue. Never expected this to happen with a brand new string of lights. Will be returning to the store as soon as we can.

REGRET BUYING THESE LIGHTS

These lights are not a warm tone, but instead a white light. I reached out to the company GE Nicolas Holiday and their response was “As long as the product are within the approved Correlated Color Temperature (CCT) which is WW - 3500CT or less, the product is still considered as Warm White.” I am extremely disappointed and feel it is unethical for a company to misrepresent a product on the market. Unfortunately, you find out about this defect after the lights are installed and you unable to r...

not for exterior

Same story as a lot of the reviews on here. Used them the first year, no issues. Next year, several bults were out, while replacing I realized that the connectors had broken off or were corroded but got it working again. This year, over half of the bults did not work. One string did not work at all even after replacing fuses. Conclusion, they are made very cheaply and are not good for exterior. Do not recommend, do not waste your money.

Worthless Warranty

Caution! Warranty is worthless. I have 3 strings, 12 bulbs went bad. (broken contact wire on bulb) Lowes said contact GE for warranty. GE said send the strings back, at my cost, for replacement. I asked them to send me a package of replacement bulbs, which they sell for $4.49. GE said no. It would cost me at least 3x more to send the lights back as it does to buy replacement bulbs rendering the warranty worthless.

***Warning These are not Warm White ***

I bought these for the house, and "GE 7mm LED diamond cut Christmas string lights" to wrap the trees. Not only do these C9's not come close to my existing warm white led decorations, but they don't match each other. They are 1000k apart. Using my android phone in the dark, these come up as 4000k while the small 7mm lights come up as 3000k. You really need to check them in the dark, and sadly I installed them with the sun up. You would think buying from the same brand, product line, and colo...
