I bought some of these in November and hung lights on our porch at our camp. Finally got to go back last weekend and to my amazement my lights were still hanging. (my husband was convinced they will still not be hanging, proved him wrong) Now......fast forward to Sunday, i bought some for our patio at our house. Hung them just as I did at our camp. By yesterday afternoon, a couple were down and by this morning more than half of them had come unstuck. Tried using the spares i had left to no avail. So that is why my review is mixed. Worked great on one and did not on the other. FYI, I live in Louisiana way down in the corner of the boot. Weather here is Bi-polar and humidity is gross.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love these things. They make putting up lights SO easy! And the results are better too! No more drooping light strings. They work VERY well, but you MUST follow the directions exactly for cleaning surfaces before attaching the clips. They will not adhere and stay adhered if you don't. It's easy to do, but I think some people just don't bother and that's why they're disappointed when their lights don't stay up as they should. All in all, an excellent product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The clear command outdoor clips are great! I have hung wreathes and outdoor lights with them and plan to use them this holiday season also. They do a great job and the fact that they are clear means they don’t interfere with whatever you are hanging!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have always wanted to add solar lights around our backyard fence. So I added some, with hammer and nails. Unfortunately, I either damaged the lights or it just didn't look good. I wasn't aware of the Command Light Clips. After carefully removing our lights from the hammers and nails, we we were able to use the Command clips. Its not recommended for use on wood, so we used a small stripe of acrylic where we wanted the lights. The acrylic was perfect because it worked as a guide, to level the lights out. Not only that, but it matches the acrylic of the clips, making it really decorative. I was able to add small flowers in between each light, with an acrylic pen. Who knew hanging outdoor lights with Command clips could change the entire appearance of our yard.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Used these to hang strings of lights for my friend's wedding reception in our church parking garage. The lights transformed the parking garage into a beautiful venue. Everyone wanted to leave the lights up after the reception was over because they made it look so nice! I received this product for free in exchange for my honest opinion.

I love to decorate for all the seasons. I even hang pink lights up in spring inside around my windows. Since the command photos showed hangers on lights outside of windows it has to work on inside of windows. Right? No they don't. Followed the instructions for placing the hangers. My husband and I put the lights up together a round my big front window inside. I was so happy it looked great UNTIL... I heard a pop and all the lights fell off on the floor. The lights were very small LED lights that that had no weight at all. It looked so nice and organized after we first put them up. I traded my ugly thumb tacks for the command hooks. I just wish they worked. How disappointing. I had so many great idea and uses for the command products I had in mind. I am very sad. I love to organize its a pass time yo could say. So that really adds to my sorrow all the great ideas that I will never get to try.

I bought these clips so that my daughter could hang rope lights on her bedroom wall. The clips worked great for the original intended purpose. Fast forward a month to the holiday season and I again purchased the clips to hang Christmas lights on the inside of my windows in the living room. We cleaned the windows as required and none of the strips lasted longer than 30 seconds. Same strips, 2 different environments and unfortunately they worked well in one area and not another. Back to the hunt for decent window light hooks.

I use Command hooks for many things but had never used them outdoors. Never did I I didn't think for a moment that these outdoor light clips would be such a flop in more ways than one. I use command hooks for quite a number of things in my home. I went through every single one of the double stick tabs included with these outdoor light clips since quite a number of them wouldn't stick to the PVC rail at all. After much time, trouble and frustration the lights were finally hung around my deck. A few days later I noticed that a few of the clips had actually broken at the back of the curve where the lights sit inside the clip. I assumed that maybe someone had accidentally pulled at the lights at that point and that's why the clip had broken - that was not the case. The deck had not been in use and I noticed a few more clips broke at the same place on the actual clip. This continues to happen. I should have read the reviews first. I'm not surprised to see that most of the reviews on these clips are negative. I'm really disappointed - these things aren't all that cheap and I spent a lot of time putting them all in place only to have to continually monitor them.

I bought these for Christmas 2013 to hang my mini lights in the windows. They worked great! The problem came for Christmas 2014. I searched everywhere for replacement strips and couldn't find them. I called your company and the guy said that I didn't need the clear refill strips and that, because I was using them inside the windows, that I could use the white refills. I went to Home Depot and bought the white refills and they worked fine until it came time to remove them. They will not come off. If the refills that work are not very affordable or available, then why buy these clips. I will not recommend these to anyone.

I hung patio lights on my screened patio. Did everything you recommended. Lasted two weeks and the last four days now a different strand got lose and came down. I bought 4 sets of command clips 16 clips and 4 extra strips. I don't want to keep going back for more strips. I'll fight this a few more weeks and if it continues to come undone I'll have too find something else. I love the xmas clips for sure.
