I upgraded from LED Christmas style globe lighting for my patio which was dim ambient light. This light is enough to be able to read on the patio and provides a pleasant high quality look. These are plenty bright with only 18 bulbs and I hung mine with cup hooks. I only wish I had another place to hang more of these, they are so awesome!

We bought six sets of these to string along a fence and under a covered patio. So far, only one set has not had bulbs that failed...the one protected by the patio cover. AN EXPENSIVE DISAPPOINTMENT! You'll note that they are ADVERTISED as being WEATHERPROOF! THEY ARE NOT! Rain can infiltrate the bulb. Even after drying a bulb out it doesn't come back on. Water gets into the socket and creates shorts. A couple of the lines buzzed loudly after developing shorts in the rain. Also, some of the lines DO NOT HAVE BULBS THAT UNSCREW. We have several sets that have fixed bulbs. It appears they made a design change at some point. It didn't help. Yeah, they look great at first. We really loved them. They looked well made and durable. Ha Ha...not so much! If you live in a DESERT these may work for you. If not, STAY AWAY! You'll be throwing your money away. IF I COULD RETURN THEM FOR A REFUND I WOULD!!!

I have these hung all around my backyard and sideboard and they are the best!!! shatter proof and LED and give off such a beautiful, clean white, crisp light and they endure any weather and heavy winds and rain and keep on shining can's say enough about these lights I loved them so much i took down my old string lights and sold them and then put these up in their place and had to use them all around my outside property.

Nowhere on the box does it state that these LED bulbs are non-dimmable. I have tried both LED dimmer and non-LED dimmers and had same results. If you are happy with how bright they are then good for you. I prefer to be able to dim the lights a bit. Other than this one issue I'm happy with the quality

I strung two sets -- one for my covered deck and one for my covered patio in the backyard. Easy to hang and they certainly put out ALOT of light, so much that I decided to set the timers dusk to dawn for the patio and only 4-6 hours on the deck attached to my house.

I bought a string to leave hung on our deck. Over the past year several bulbs have filled with water, unable to take off the bulb to empty, and one glass bulb cover came apart from the casing, leaving the exposed bulb, unable to reattach. Very disappointed. Maybe other brands are better.

Bought several strands of these lights and the first night I used them I had 2 lights out and 1 dim one. All had condensation in them. Can't buy these bulbs anywhere so I called the company. Twice I was sent to voicemail and twice my calls were never returned. Quite a bit of money down the drain.

Excellent product. Very well made and durable. I will be purchasing more for an additional patio.

Very well made lights, they look beautiful in our backyard.

Love, love, love these lights I will be adding more
