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

Great for a while

Used for less than 3 weeks. Next season they would no light up after fuse replacement. That is all the troubleshooting support you get from the instructions. Forced to ship across the country to get a replacement.

Didn't last a year

We purchased 4 reels of these lights in 2021. They worked great & looked great for that season. They were on our house for about 6 weeks, then were rolled back up on the original reels & stored for 11 months. when we got them out of storage in 2022, 2 of the 4 strands did not work at all. We used different lights for the house & used the 2 working strands on the shed. Again, the lights were up for about 6 weeks & stored for 11 months. Today is the day after Thanksgiving, 2023, & the 2 strands th...

They're great while they last

First year perfect. They were stored in a tub with a lid over the summer and won't work now. We have 5 other Christmas lights up that are older working, but not these. Not worth $50 for 1 year of use.

Awful Lights

Don't waste your time or your money on these lights! They are not Warm White and they are not bright at all. They barely have any glow. I am very disappointed.

Don't waste your money

Got 4 strands last year 2 will not light at all 2 are half lit

Did not last, goes very dim sometimes!

Did not even last a season. It appears that is the norm for this, reading the other reviews on this product. Lights would go very very dim most nights. Every now and then they would be brighter. Such a shame.

Not Warm White

No Matt what the box says, and no matter what GE Says, these a definitely not warm white. Totally GE screwed up and these will not match anything else that is considered warm white. More like cool white. Very disappointed.

Horrible Color

I agree with almost every review to this effect. Whether the manufacturer wants to argue the point or not, these are not warm white. I get more of a “garish, harsh, cold” vibe from them, which isn’t all that Christmasy.

Bright white

I decided to spend a little more on these lights because they have a 5 year warranty but they are BRIGHT WHITE! Do not buy these if you expect warm white as the description indicates. Unfortunately i couldn't return them after the season and am now stuck with half bright white lights and half warm.

Mislabeled causes confusion

The lights look great, BUT these are not a warm white color. What is even more confusing is other styles which are also labeled "warm white" are a different color. I figured this out after plugging the two different styles of lights, by the GE company, side by side while in the store. The lights listed above were a "cool white" and the other was "warm". There was a clear difference in the sets. Please change the labels or make it clear for consumers to avoid this confusion and annoyance.

Complete Trash

I had similar sets of GE lights that lasted me 10 years and they were great. I only replaced them because the plastic has fogged up over the years so they kept getting dimmer. I bought 3 of these strands to replace them, and after being up for just a few days, about 10 of the 300 bulbs went out. Fast forward to this year, I get them out and two strands are completely dead.

Absolutely junk 2 years in a row

These lights are such a waste of money. It’s unbelievable. For two years I have tried with this company and their lights. I even bought candy cane pathway markers and their quality is just absolutely junk One strand quit working after 10 days the other two strands that I needed to do. My house had so many bulbs out after two months I emailed GE they were nice enough to send me bulbs, but the problem is when I went to plug them in this year, there were at least another 20 bulbs out and now they...

DO NOT BUY

I purchased these two years ago and they failed by the end of the holiday. I sent them back to the company that handles the replacements and had to pay over $30 for shipping. I put up the lights this year after storing them and they will not light. I submitted a request to replace them again so at least I don't have to blow another $90 on lights this year and if they think I'm paying to ship them back they can kiss it.. Do yourself a favor and don't but these!!

Color is terrible

Not a warm white at all. Much more on the cool side with almost a pinkish hue against a white background. Returning and will probably never buy GE again. Total waste of my time

Definitely Not Warm White

Cannot overstate my disappointment in these lights. They are a cool white, absolutely not warm white. Not even close in temperature to other warm white strands I own.

Very Frustrated!

Spent the extra money on new lights last year, part of strand stopped working and now, none of them work….almost 300 feet of wasted money.

Not warm! Do not buy!

I guess I was stupid and assumed the ge warm white was the same for the small 100 strand lights and these larger ones. They are right next to each other at Lowe’s. They are not even close. These are COOL WHITE for sure.

NOT Warm white as advertised on label

Bought 2 packs and compared to actual warm lights I already had (different brand) the contrast between the two were not even lose. Im returning. Very disappointed as we specificically wanted warm white and the label said so.

Very disappointed wasted money

Last year I purchased 4 of the 66 ft strands. Put them up and one thing they are not Warm White they are bright white I don't care what you chart says you can see the difference. Second off these lights were stored in a climate-controlled garage very nicely hung an individuals spools... just took them out yesterday half of the bulbs do not work it will cost as much to replace the bulbs as it did to originally purchase the Strand itself. So basically I wasted $200 for something that I cannot even...

Horrible quality

I bought 6 of these light strands last year to replace 6 others (different brand that had lasted at least 7 years with no issue). I could tell quickly while I was putting them on the house that the GE brand was worse quality. After only 2 weeks on the house, one light strand started flickering. One night it wouldn’t turn on at all, then the next night it would turn on fine. And some nights it would turn on about 50% brightness as the others. By Christmas (about 4 weeks up) the strand had died...
