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

Don't buy!

Right out of the box, one strand had 6 (yes, SIX!) bulbs that only stayed red and would not change colors. The other strand I bought had 1 bulb always stay red. I will be returning this week.

Absolute junk

I bought these lights 2 Christmases ago because I loved the idea of multiple colors and effects to change through out the season. After one year of them all fully functioning the following Christmas they didn't work! With these being so expensive they should last more than one season. I figured I'd buy again because I did like the look of the lights. As I pull out the lights this year. The exact same thing happened!!!! Of course the warranty doesn't cover anything either. Highly suggest not b...

Waste of Money!

I purchased these in 2021 and they looked great. Unfortunately this they won't turn on so they are in the garbage can. If they had lasted longer I probably.woukd have bought some more this year. Stay away if you want lights that last

Don't Waste Your Money

Cute idea. These things are absolute trash. The lights will not synchronize within the individual string. Meaning - select any solid color and a few of the bulbs will be different. Unplug the lights to reset. Turn them back on and different bulbs will be off color. If you have multiple strings all of the receiver boxes need to be within line of sight to the remote. I spoke with GE customer support and they were of little use and only made excuses. Their only recommendation was to return to L...

Horrible Lights for the Money

Bought 6 strands of these hoping they would be really cool outlining the house. A few strands did not work out of the box, after getting them up it is impossible to get them in sync. Some bulbs don't light up at all to certain colors, and some only will stay one color. Very disappointed with these. Definitely should have read some of the reviews before purchasing. would not recommend to anyone if you are looking to get really cool lights

Disappointed in Lowes

This is more a review of Lowes than this product. I placed an order for 3 boxes of these lights for pickup, picked em up on my way home. Of the 3, turns out 2 were already opened/returned. 1 set didn't work at all, wasn't twist tied together. The other set, the bulbs were yellow from being used for a significant amount of time and then shoved in a box and returned to the store probably for a new set. Very disappointed I wasted my time and now I have to waste more time getting lights that h...

Did not work out of box.

I ordered these from Lowe’s online. 3 sets of them. Put them on my Christmas tree, then plugged them in. An entire set simply did not work. Should have tested them first!

Syncing issues

Should have read the reviews.....glad we only bought 2 strings.......we were there to get 8! What a pain it would have been to try to sync them all and then they just go random....... disappointed

stopped working after 1 year. waste of money

went to put my lights up this year... all strands no longer work. only a year old. don't have money to replace. I should have read the reviews before hand....

Waste of money!

We purchased these lights knowing you could link up several strands. Day one they worked great and were beautiful, loved all the different settings and colors we could choose from. Within 24 hours, the lights wouldn't sync anymore. We have unplugged and re-set but nothing works unless they are on one solid color. Random bulbs will stop working or be a different color than all the rest. We're removing them and buying new ones less than a week after they were hung up. All the reviews are the same,...

So pretty!

These lights are so durable and have such pretty colors. Highly recommended!

Beautiful when they work, trash product and suppor

If 0 stars would be an option I would do so. We bought 5 strands of these lights to go under our gutters and around our sidewalk. When they worked they are brilliant, they are bright and they look great. The only problem is they lasted less than 2 seasons and then 4 our of the 5 strands died, went through checking all the LEDs and no luck. Called "GE's" customer service which makes you go through the troubleshooting all over again. The warranty did cover a replacement so I shipped in my dead str...

Terrible

Purchased 5 sets. Of the 5 sets, 3 came faulty. Finally replaced with 3 new sets only to have light bulbs out and when putting lights on desired light setting, some bulbs turn a completely different color. Will be returning all 5 boxes. Won’t but again.

Hard to sync and about 5 bulbs stays on red

I bought 3 stands for 150$ and it took so long trying ti sync with one remote. Once they do, about 5 light bulbs just stays red. It’s too noticeable since I only want to keep it to white for now while it’s not December yet. If it was on rainbow color then it’s fine you can’t tell the random red bulbs. Will be returning tomorrow.

Don’t last. Expensive waste of money

Bought these last year and they didn’t even last a month. Horrible waste of money

No, just NOT

I cannot stress strongly enough how important it is that nobody buy these lights. I bought 6 boxes last November to put up at my mom's house with the thought of leaving them up and changing the colors for her with each holiday. two of the sets did not even make it to Christmas and the worst part is the customer service. You have to pay at your own expense to ship them back to be "repaired" Then I had to wait months and had to follow up multiple times just to get them back. Now when getting ...

Garbage

Bought 5 boxes of these yesterday to decorate the house and will be returning them today. I’m sure they’d work fine for your tree if you only needed one strand. The problem is that after you plug multiple strands in one remote will work all of them. For example, hit the power button on the remote and three strands may turn off while the other two stay on. Hit it again and those two turn off while the other three turn back on. You want real chaos? Try changing the colors! One strand turns blue wh...

DOESNT WORK!!!

If you buy a single set. You will be just fine. Buying more than one??? Dont waste your time. So, many bugs. we have tried for several years to get 3 sets that will work together and have had no luck. For the price you would think GE would have resolved this issue. In fact they havent. No Auto feature will appear that it works okay for about the first 5 minutes. Then, they slowly get off track. Still trying to find an option for us... Oh GE pays an employee just to handle these issues so they ar...

Don't buy!

Bought 3 sets of these lights in October 2021. Liked them in the store, and hoped we would enjoy them for many years. We initially had the same problems as everyone else: the 3 sets wouldn't synchronize, there were random dead bulbs in some modes, and they would keep changing from the selected patterns. Very frustrating! Then, just after Christmas, one set died completely. Nothing wrong with the fuses. I mailed it to Customer Service at a cost of almost $10--will see what they do. Then, one more...

Cool when it works

Bought these lights and got them synced up. They looked really good. The light patterns were great. But over time (6 weeks) 3 of the 4 strands I bought stopped working. So we had a good 2 weeks. If you could make a product that lasts, this would be a really good buy. I'm praying someone is seeing these reviews.
