The product has a mixed reception, with some customers appreciating the classic look and brightness, but many reporting significant quality and durability issues. A large number of customers experienced a substantial portion of the lights failing within the first season or even a few weeks of use. Common problems include non-functioning bulbs, frequent fuse replacements, and corroded wires/sockets. The product's short lifespan and poor value for money are the main concerns expressed by the majority of reviewers.

Would Not RecommendWas finally able to get the lights down this weekend since it was decently warm. I always test everything before putting it away until the next holiday season. We bought three sets of these in November. All three sets have multiple lights out in each. There are clearly shorts in some places as if you jiggle wires, casings, sockets, etc. you can get some lights to go a bit brighter and darker. The lights unusable at this point. I see the item is no longer for sale on Lowes.com as well. I'm not su...
They did not last through the holiday season!
Would Not RecommendThese lights do not last through the holiday season! It is very disappointing! I first purchased for the 2022 holiday season to decorate the grounds where I am employed and at my home. By the end of the season, at both work and home, there were several strings out that could not be repaired. I repurchased again in 2023 to replace the broken sets so all the lights would still match, yet sadly by the end of the season several strings were out again. For the price and the brand, it is very disa...

JUNK
Would Not RecommendThese lights went out the day before Christmas! New Lowe's policy states you can not return Christmas items after Christmas.. We are now stuck with 3 strings of these crap lights and are unable to get a refund. GE is not willing to help either. GOODBYE LOWE'S.

Worst lights ever !!
Would Not RecommendDidn't even last a month. Lights kept getting dimmer and dimmer. Now they won't come on. Worst part is Lowes won't take them back because its a seasonal item. Retun to GE is a hassle !!

Worked for one season
Would Not RecommendWe purchased three strands of these lights last year for $50 each. Two strands have already stopped working. The warranty requires you to mail them back which costs $20 for one strand. I mailed back the first strand one month ago and have heard nothing. I bought a replacement strand to use and then another strand went out so I now have to mail that one back. The customer service is horrible. After they spell out my entire name and address every time I call they offer no updates. They tell me to ...

Good value
Would RecommendLook great. Great price, but disappointed in LOWES return policy. I wasn’t sure exactly how many lights I needed so bought a little more than I thought I needed. When I went to return extra reel was told Christmas Eve was the last day to make a return of any Christmas items. This make sense but I didn’t see this policy anywhere on receipt or item when making the purchase so assumed lights had same return policy as any other LOWES purchase.

Product Failed
Would Not RecommendWe bought three sets of these last year. They worked ok the first year. Hung them this year and two sets quit working after a week. Very disappointed in the quality of the lights.

Lights Keep Dimming and then Dying
Would Not RecommendWe have a total of 9 strings of these on our home. We have had 5 strands that we purchased this year, begin to dim and then die out completely while up. We put them up in November and they were done before Christmas. We have to keep buying them if we want them to look consistent around our house, and we are so frustrated that they don’t even last one season. If anyone can help us get quality lights for next year, that look similar, please let me know. We love the look and are usually impressed b...

Absolute trash.
Would Not RecommendI am so disappointed in these! They were so beautiful draped on our fence but unfortunately lasted one season before both strands stopped working and could not be fixed.

Bulbs continuously go out
Would Not RecommendBought 6 sets of these last year and probably had to replace around 20 bulbs over the month I had them up. I had to buy the replacements through the manufacturer and pay for shipping. This year I've had them up for about a month, replaced another 6 or 7 bulbs when I put them up, replaced 6 more bulbs about 2 weeks ago, and now have another 6 or 7 bulbs out again. Most of the bulbs that get replaced have one of the wires completely fall out when I remove them. Between that and the sheer number of...

GE knows these are JUNK
Would Not RecommendThese are NOT outdoor lights and GE KNOWS this to be true, yet they continue to sell these poorly designed lights and falsely advertise that they are outdoor bulbs. The problem is that there is a visible gap where the wires feed into each bulb and water literally flows into each bulb (follows the wire strand) and rusts out each LED steel lead. That's why they have two little holes on the end of each bulb; to be a water drain. Just plug them in and take a look, you'll absolutely see light shin...

GE lights are horrible
Would Not RecommendBought these lights because of the warranty which is a joke. Lowes won't honor the Warranty and GE just passes you around until you get frustrated and give up.
