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.

So happy to find these, and at a great price!
Would RecommendJust like from when I was a kid, so I knew they would get very hot, but that’s fine for us. We only connected 2 strands and then plugged them into to an extension cord. Then we did 2 more strands and plugged them into another extension cord. We plugged each extension cord into the power strip. At first, I used one extension cord that had multiple plugs but after 15 minutes all the lights went out. My husband told me the cord I was using couldn’t handle the wattage of the lights, so when I switch...

These lights are fine
I really like the old-fashioned bulbous Christmasy lights, so I got these to hang on my deck. Well, as I was weaving the string through the nooks and crannies of the deck, the cord fell and a couple of bulbs broke. The string still worked, but I would have liked to replace the broken bulbs. I wish there were some (one?) spare bulb in the box. Ney, there was not. So, I had to order the spares separately.

Lights are bright and colorful
I have been please with the brightness of these large bulbs. The colors really stand out. The bulbs get a little warm but not enough to burn my curious preschooler who just had to touch them.

Exactly like classic Incandescent C9s should be
Would RecommendI'm sorry but I question if any of these negative reviews actually remember classic c9 lights. These get warm, but not hotter than they should. Incandescent lights produce light by heating metal hot enough to produce light. Kelvin's often used to describe light temperature at one point was used to describe the actual temperature required to produce such a wave length. So the hotter the kelvins, the cooler the color. The same reason why in a campfire the center where its white/blue is the hotte...

Plug in lights at store before taking them home.
Bought 6 strings of lights-got home and strung everything out and two of the strings did not work.

Terry, the lights shouldn't have failed that quickly. We would love to be able to correct it for you so that your experience with our product is ...

Worked for 1 minute
Would Not RecommendWorst lights we’ve ever bought. We checked them before we put them up and they worked. Lined the entire house with them. Plugged them in for the big reveal, and they worked for 1 minute and then all burned out and will not turn back on. We’ve tried different extension cords, different outlets, etc. Nothing works. They’re dead. So disappointed.

Did you have more than 2 sets connected end to end if the entire house was lit up? That would exceed the max connectivity and cause the sets to prema...

Definitely DO NOT recommend.
Would Not RecommendYou can old connect two strands. They break easy and the color rubs off easily.

Would Not RecommendI see you commenting on all the reviews hoping I can get some insight. I purchased the 16ft strands. I didn’t read the specs like a novice but they also didn’t have the length I needed. So I ran them all together. Plugged it in and they lit up for literally have a second lol. After reading all these reviews, I see you’re saying only 2 strands per plug. Plug do you mean 1 extension cord or outlet? I was wondering if I run power to a 3-4 way split and run the extension cords from that split to the...

Jsos, incandescent C-9 are the highest wattage sets there are, and so the max connectivity dictated by UL with electrical limitations is as listed 2 ...

These lights are beautiful,but a nightmare.After 2 hours of installing them on my home they lasted about 5 minutes.They get very hot ,very fast and lasted about 5 minutes before all blowing out.What a waste of time and money
