What Customers Are Saying
The string lights provide a warm, vintage-inspired ambiance for outdoor spaces like patios and decks. Customers appreciate the luminous glow, but some report issues with the fragility of the bulbs, which can burn out or shatter easily, even during installation. The lack of available replacement bulbs is also a common complaint. While the lights are an affordable option, the durability and replacement concerns are the main drawbacks.

Would RecommendLove these lights. Used around my deck and down 2 flights of steps so dogs and I can go down safely. They are quite pretty and give off quite a bit of brightness. Look VERY nice. Have not had to replace any bulbs but did buy bulbs to have if needed, very reasonable cost for bulbs!

These light up my life!
Would RecommendExcellent outdoor lighting for our firepit patio. Turned the space into a festive, cozy little room. They gave just a tad more light than I wanted to I took out every other bulb. Now I have spares too, lol. Speaking of the bulbs, as others have noted the bulbs are VERY fragile, so definitely remove them, position your wires, then reinsert them. I broke one during a lazy moment of not doing this while re-positioning. I've only had them a few weeks, so can't remark on durability but at this reas...

I LOVE these lights!
Would RecommendI LOVE these lights. My deck is a fairy wonderland! They give off a lot of light and are so stylish looking. I would agree with other reviewers that the bulbs are fragile, but we hung 4 strands and only broke one bulb! So exercise caution and you'll be fine. Be aware that these lights do not have clips on each light; we wrapped ours onto fine gauge wire and used zip ties to secure the strands. Now the wire takes the stress of the wind and the lights are secure.

These lights suck.
Would Not RecommendInvest in something better quality. The bulbs are so thin they break when you look at them. We broke 4 just trying to hang them up and they’re not exactly cheap. $5 for 2. Paper thin bulbs. Would not recommend if you’re heavy handed
Exploding Lightbulbs
Would Not RecommendThese were so cute when we unboxed them, but after plugging them in end to end to test the bulbs two exploded nearly at the same time. The were just sitting on the ground. Perhaps they had just gotten very hot but they weren't being handled at time. Having them explode above our heads after installation would have been far worse!
Don't buy
Would Not RecommendUnless you want broken glass everywhere don't buy this item. Extremely fragile, not suitable for outdoor use.

Disappointing
Would Not RecommendI bought 6 packs of these lights less than a month ago. Already several bulbs have gone out. They haven’t been mishandled or damaged, they just stopped working. Completely unacceptable after less than a month of use. I would return, except I threw 5 of the 6 boxes away (who has room for all those boxes?!) and Lowe’s won’t accept the return.
Way too bright!
Would Not RecommendI put just two strings on a medium sized covered porch and it looked like I was trying to shoot a movie or perform surgery. Way too bright! Glad I’m sending these back now that I see the trouble people are having with replacement bulbs. If you’re careful with them and want bright lights, these are nice looking
Horrible and fragile
Would Not RecommendWhole getting the lights ready to hang up one bulb EXPLODED all over my face and arm. They are so fragile and dangerous! It doesn't help you have to completely destroy the inner packaging to even get them off the cardboard so now they are unable to be returned. What a waste of money. Can't believe this.
Nice
Would RecommendBulbs seemed to burn out quickly, less expensive to just purchase new string vs replacement bulbs.

not good if you want multiple strands
Would Not RecommendThese lights have 4 feet from socket to the first bulb. They advertise that you can string 4 strands together but it looks terrible with a huge gap in the bulbs.
