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 Not RecommendBulbs break as soon as you get them out of packaging. Extremely fragile like fine crystal. Zero durability. Very pretty and useless. Lowe’s does not accept returns on Christmas lights so will need to somehow contact manufacturer.

They are beautiful . . . but
Would Not RecommendI bought 4 boxes of these lights and I just love them! However, they only lasted for 5 days. I do not have the boxes nor the receipt so I’m just stuck. Here’s a picture of the lights when they worked.

Pretty, but bulbs don’t last.
Would Not RecommendI bought these and put them up myself this year to try to keep some sense of normalcy for my kiddos since their dad is deployed. They were great for maybe a week and then I noticed bulbs were going out. I thought maybe they were just loose, so I got back on the ladder and tried to fix them. They just don’t work. Even swapped bulbs to other sockets to make sure it was the bulb. I have 10 bulbs out currently. I was gonna buy more bulbs, but I think I will just return them because they shouldn’t ha...

Stay away
Would Not RecommendLiterally the worst Christmas lights I have ever bought. The second day bulbs were going out. I think two or three went out but I had replacements. Two more went out. I bought a new pack of bulbs to replace the ones that went and three more went out. I replaced five bulbs with the replacement pack and three more burned put while I was replacing those. In hindsight I don’t think I’ve ever owned GE light set that wasn’t straight garbage. Bargain bin products are better. GE should be ashamed but th...

Waste of Money
Would Not RecommendI have shorted 3 different sets of these lights from 3 different outlets. I would not even recommend this product to my enemy. Beyond frustrating to pay a premium for terrible lights. Glass bulbs are also extremely fragile.

Joe, incandescent C-9 sets are the most energy consuming, limited connectability sets there are due to the power requirements and UL standards. I wou...
Very pretty
Would RecommendThis is exactly the look I was going for. Yes, the bulbs get warm so hang with caution. Instructions say do not place around fabric, so hard surfaces seem perfect. I have only one strand plugged directly into an outlet and it works fine. I tried to use an extension cord, but the lights immediately turned off while plugged in, not sure of the proper terminology- so I figured the safest bet would be to have them plugged directly into the source. Also the specific outlet I am using has nothing else...

Read the box
Would Not RecommendRead the box. Can only string two strands or they short out. Not good for larger homes.
