Ratings & Reviews for GE StayBright 25 -Count 12.0-ft White LED Plug-In Christmas String Lights

Lasted 1 season

Bought these in 2024 put them up for less than two mounts were stored in a plastic tub took them out in 2025 and neither strand would light. Checked ever bulb to make sure it was properly seated still nothing.

Lasted one season

Waste of money, so 80% lights don't work from the power entry, but the last 20% do light up

awful

Brand new out of the box only half of the lights worked

Lights stopped working after 1 season!

Don’t last

Back to back years we bought these same lights and each time, half of the strand went out. We checked each bulb and couldn’t get it to work again. We thought the first one we bought might have just be faulty so we bought them again but sadly the same outcome. Very frustrating.

Not made well didn't last very long b4 lights stop

We purchased these and put them up a section of the lights went out after about 2 weeks. My husband checked them as much as he could since they were on the front porch. He didn't get them to work. Then they stared working again then they went out again until he took them down. He took them apart and there were 2 bulbs the wire was broken off of the bulb. he replaced them and now we will see what happens next year. They are not made very well.

Didn't even last 1 month

I bought 5 strands in early December and after less than a month of nightly use 2 of the 5 strands were already half out. Wish I had seen all of the online reviews before I bought these, but sadly just bought in the store. After all of these horrible reviews I can't believe GE is happy with producing this product and that Lowe's would continue to stock such a poor quality item.

Look great on the trees

These were on sale and a great price. Bought these to be a replacement to the older C9 Incandescent that I was using.

Faulty lights

Stopped working within days

Doesn't Last

I purchased 8 strands of these and very carefully hung them with hooks and gutter clips, no staples. Within 30 days 7 full strands had completely stopped working. I checked each LED bulb and each fuse, and they would not work. Holiday decor sales are final. So when you drop several hundred $$ on supposedly high quality lighting, you expect it to last a couple seasons at least. The only silver lining is they have a 5 year warranty.

Beware these lights

Half the strand stopped working after a few weeks.

Don’t Buy Stuff Here!!!

Stuff broken, didn’t work right. Store wouldn’t take item back. No refund.

Lot warm light

I expected the light to be more warm. But it is definitely more cold than other warm lights.

Lowes has terrible customer service.

Lowes has terrible customer service - especially to VETS. Deceitful business practices.

Fool me once, shame on you

I purchased two sets of these in winter 2022. They lasted for that season, but in winter 2023, one set of lights completely stopped working for no reason at all. I made the mistake of foolishly buying another set of lights in winter 2024, and once again, one of them stopped working for no reason whatsoever. Fine, I thought, let me make use of the warranty on these lights, only to learn that the warranty requires ME to pay for shipping back and forth from the company. I will never waste money on ...

Can't return even when it was unopened/unused. :(

I'm sure these lights are nice, but unopened with receipt in hand tried to return them and was told they don't take back holiday items.

Good price

I bought it because I liked them

Extraordinarily dim light, can't tell it's on from

Extraordinarily dim light, can't tell it's on from five feet away

Inconsistent sets

I bought four sets in a prior year and two are still working great. On one set the last bulb doesn't work even after replacing. The fourth set has numerous bulbs that are unlit and is not worth saving. The sets are bizarre in that they have mixed bulb bases even on the same set where one is wider than the other.
