What Customers Are Saying
The incandescent Christmas lights have a mixed reception. Some appreciate the nostalgic, bright, and colorful appearance of the large bulbs. However, many report frequent bulb burnouts, dangerous overheating, strict limitations on the number of connected strands, and poor overall quality and durability. The consensus is that these lights are not a reliable or safe option, and customers may be better served by modern LED alternatives.

Would RecommendThey lit up right out of the box, and plugged into our original light strings with no problem.They're exactly like our 'old' ones from the 1980's, but brand new and shiny. I cant thank Lowe's enough for selling these 'Old-Fashioned' Christmas lights. The screw-in, incandescent bulbs give off a visibly warmer glow when seen next to a house decorated with the bright, LED lights. The neighbors even commented on them! We couldn't be happier!

Easy lights but within 2 days 3 bulbs burned out
Would Not RecommendAs seen in photo Easy large colored lights to hang. Within 2 days of getting them 3 bulbs burned out and there were no replacement bulbs in the package. They weren’t even on 24/7.

Dangerous
Would Not RecommendWe had these maybe a little over a week? One strand completely died. My husband then noticed the other started burning b/c the bulbs got so hot! They’re off the tree & in the trash!

Too hot
Would Not RecommendThey are too hot to touch when on. Not safe in my opinion

Miss M, incandescent bulbs of any type should be touched when on, as they do get hot.
Don’t buy these lights
Would Not RecommendYou can only connect two strands of the lights together otherwise you will blow the fuse. I will never buy these lights again. I will never buy these lights again.

Matt, please look to LED lights if you need to connect more. Electrical maximums are limited by law, not by design.
Big, bright C9 Lights!
Would RecommendJust what we needed and wanted to match up to our older strings. Only wish they had 25' strings as well.

Only worked for a few hours.
Would Not RecommendI bought 5 boxes of these lights for my homes exterior and spent about an hour hanging them yesterday. After about 3 hours lit, they all went out. I tested the strands and found the one that wasn't working, tested all of the bulbs and ended up just replacing the strand with the extra one I had. Now, after about an hour lit tonight, they are all out again. I would absolutely not recommend.
