Would Recommendthese trip the lights fantastic. Virtually unbreakable, very pretty, LEDs won't ever burn out, well priced and a wide variety of colors (we use orange for halloween, purple for lent, random changing colors for Easter, green or red for Christmas, white for grilling, blue for a quiet mood). Reviews that complain that the remote has to be right next to the transformer to turn the lights on are ill-informed. There is a small sensor on the transformer block (looks like a 1/4 inch tab) that has to b...

White Lights Are Not Warm
Would Not RecommendThe lights and remote work fine. The default seemed to be white when I first turned them on. The only thing is that theses lights are an extremely cool white light which is terrible if you just want the white light only. The color change options are neat but are limited compared to the color change options that newhouse string lights provide. Newhouse also has two different color white light.
Very Nice Lights
Would RecommendThese are really neat lights and while expensive they are worth the money. I like the multi color option it provides and frankly the white is best. My mother saw them and had me buy a set for her place. Well made, heavy duty lights.
Remote didnt work
Would Not RecommendRemote didnt work at all. The overall appearance was tacky and dimmer then the clear ones I have from same company. I didnt get to see them in one solid color so I can only imagine that would be better then the blinking in every different color looking like a cheezy party. Totally not what I expected.

Great Looking Lights but that is it!
Would Not RecommendEveryone is having the same problem with these lights, in that they always come back on in red. Portfolio said they are warranty for 2 years to take them back to Lowes, where I purchased them. I just called Lowes and they only have a 90 day return policy. I bought these in May and have problems with them and have to keep them. Ridiculous.

Awesome Lights for the Prics
Would RecommendPicked these up on sale and am very pleased with them. You can choose whichever solid color you want, or select from different effects. These are great for hanging on our RV awning.

Great Quality/Easy to Install
Would RecommendPros: The lights look amazing on our back porch and the different color selection is great for different themes, moods, or holidays. Cons: While it’s not that much of a con, the power box is a little large in size and based on the placement on the cord, it’s somewhat tricky to hide or place. Also, the connections on the beginning and ending of the cable so be changed so when connected the lights will be the same distance as the other lights on the string. Overall, it’s worth the purchase and...

Listen to the Reviews. They DON'T work!
Would Not Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so bummed that these don't work. I purchased them and tested one string that worked fine. I had them professionally installed and was thrilled with the results. We enjoyed them for about 1-2 weeks and then they went bad. Just like everyone else said. Turned them on, only red. Press every button to get a reaction and maybe got 4 of the lamps to change from red. I have 4 strings together and NONE of the last 3 stings will change from red. Th...

SweepstakesNo point for a remote
Would Not RecommendIt took me a while to figure this one out. Remote only works when you hold directly next to black box near end of the power cord. Not sure what the point of having a remote is if you actually have to stand immediately next to a box (which is hanging from pergola) They might as well have switched on the box. Nothing indicated in the directions about hour close you have to stand to a specific part of these lights to actually have the remote do what it’s supposed to do. Which is why they cost $100 ...

Poor quality for price - Remote sensory sucks
Would Not RecommendI’m sorry I even bought these while they were on sale ($60). I wouldn’t spend more than $10 on another set of these lights. Unfortunately, I’d like another set to complete the area they’re hung, but they’re apparently discontinued – and when I am able to find a set, it’s obviously a used return, MARKED AT FULL PRICE. The remote only works if you’re within 5 ft of directly aiming it at the sensory box, the lights themselves are fairly dim and don’t light an area too well, When on multi flash, ...

Remote quit working
Would Not RecommendThe lights themselves look great however as other reviews pointed out, the remote is a piece of junk. Bought 2 strings, 1 remote failed out of the box, the other worked twice before failing. I was uncomfortable paying so much for string lights, guess I should have listened to my gut.

Love the lights, holds up to being outside
Would RecommendLove the lights, they hold up to being outside in this crazy Missouri weather. I do wish the remote worked thru the window so I didn’t have to open window or take the remote outside to change colors.
