Ratings & Reviews for GE 50 -Count 32.6-ft Multicolor LED Christmas String Lights

different strands do NOT sync together

One strand is fine. If you hook several together they do not sync. Your lights look crazy they don't match. The remote is universal so it works for any set. If you manage to get them synced it last for a short time because it eventually works out of sync. Paid so much for these to look so bad on our ranch style roof line. All that work to put each in a holder and now we either live with it or take them down. Some nights we have dead bulbs that work the next night. One or two odd colored ...

Terrible design.

We checked each strand before we put them up. All worked fine. But when hooking them together, they are simply terrible. They never stay synced, and random bulbs would either stay a solid color, or just turn off completely. Unplugging and reinserting the ‘dead’ LED would bring it back to life, but a different light would be off. Don’t buy. Mine are going back to Lowes.

Great for smaller tree

I know others have issues with multiple strands syncing. However, i only used one strand on our tree and they work perfectly. Probably why they continue to sell these.

Frustrating Lights!

Bought 6 sets and paid a guy $200 bucks to string all over our house. Turns out, the remote has to been 10 feet or less to the control box on the light to work. Not so easy on a two-story house. Nearly impossible to get 6 strings to synch, either their pattern or simply the on or off state. Hit the power button and some turn on, hit it again to get the rest to turn on, it turns off the others. Horribly frustrating. All support can do is say "we can find other lights that will fit your need bette...

WHY WON'T THEY SYNC!!??!!??

The one year I decide to spend the money and decorate for Christmas, well, let's just say it will be a blue Christmas. I'm out $300 on lights that won't sync! Seven strands connected per installation instructions and no matter what we do they're all different.

Why does Lowes continue to sell these??

I've probably wrote less than 5 reviews my entire life but these set me off. Hanging Christmas lights in the cold sucks as it is....hanging them just to have to pull them down right after...even worse. Seriously Lowes stop selling a product that obviously has some serious issues. The fact these are still on your shelves is a testimony to how far writing a review goes. DO NOT BUY THESE! I put up 3 sets and hooked them together but they will not stay in sync. The bulbs randomly have some of them c...

disappointed

I bought 6 stands, takes a lot of time and patience to sync up. If you want one color for all good luck... Random bulbs will be a completely different color. Will be returning

Can not sync

Put 5 light sting around the house, and impossible to sync all the strings together. Searched the web and many other people had similar problem. If you are using 1 or 2 strings, probably will be ok, but more than that, they don't work. GE states that you can put up to 5 strings in a row, but that's very much not the case

Absolutely junk

These light is trash , if you want to be mad and aggravated for Xmas then buy it , I bought over 20 sets for my house I plug every single one in before put it up , it worked , then I put it up all over the house when I plug it in didn’t work at all , out of 20 maybe 2 or 3 worked . Called GE but they are useless. I had to go thru every single bulb and push them in , some bulb were not even in just loose inside the cover . For 40 dollars a box it should’ve been a little better quality.

POOR QUALITY

i purchased this lights last year now that the holidays are coming i check them if they were good but they didnt turn on

LED outdoor lights

Bought 5 sets of these lights and two strands are dead. Good fuses but no longer work. I have the original receipt but return process looks ominious. will find out if it works

Very bright amazing lights! Remote can control up to 5 connected. Many modes!

I purchased 6 boxes. Strands do not sync. Random bulbs are burnt out but only on certain colors. Some bulbs flicker random colors while set to certain color. Would not buy again. Very disappointing.

Poor quality

I purchased 4 sets of these lights to replace 10 year old GE Christmas Lights that had similar functionality with various display patterns. Out of the box the display patterns left a lot to be desired, but better than a lot that is out there. I tested the stings before hanging them up and I noticed on one string that one of the bulbs was permanently lighting green and not changing. I just spent $40 on brand new string of lights so I packaged it up and returned it. I hung a second set and while h...

I woikd give 0 Stars if I could!

Bought 5 Boxes of these 11/13/2021. 2 did not work at all (tried different outlets and replaced fuses). I returned them 11/15/2021 and They are No Longer Available. Lowes wants to charge Me $125 shipping fee for 2 boxes, $80 worth Items. I guess I will be reevaluating my refular Hardwear Store…

Wish I would’ve listened to the reviews

Generally I take 1 star reviews with a grain of salt but really this are horrible. I bought 4 strands and they have so many issues. One strand is missing a bulb cover, 2 of the strands have bulbs that just stay red no matter what color you have going (at least 6), and the other strand has 2 lights that are burned out, and the 4 strands do not sync together. They have a remote and when you change the color it changes them individually…which would be fine if they synced but instead I’ll change to ...

Very Underwhelmed!

Very underwhelmed! Won’t position like I would like them to for consistency, bulbs randomly are “ burned out” but next time you turn them on they work, obviously an issue with the programming. I would not recommend these lights if you’re particular or a perfectionist when it comes to your Christmas lights!

Don’t waste your time

Absolute garbage. Apparantly GE cannot make something as simple as christmas lights work. These are going back tomorrow one strand down one week in. Not chancing the other 4 boxes working based on the reviews.

Frustrated lights won’t sync

I thought I would write you first and ask for help but I can’t find an email that would go through. I spent about $600 to upgrade my Christmas lights this year, super pumped about your GE Color Effect 50 lights, I wanted the flexibility of multi color programable lights. I have connected 5 sets and I can not get them synced up. I am beyond frustrated and 5 plus hours I have worked to get them up and just right .. ugh… they will not sync up, do you have any suggestions or recommendations? I am...
