addlon 25FT LED Outdoor String Lights with Edison Shatterproof Bulbs, Heavy-Duty and Weatherproof Strand, Commercial Grade Patio Lights, Decorative for Garden or Patio, Black

Bought these lights to put up in my backyard for a party I was hosting and it lit up the yard perfectly and everyone thought they were the bees knees. It also made my backyard look very elegant and they aren’t obnoxiously bright. They are affordable and provide the perfect ambiance and are extremely easy to set up! The photo with the lights turned on at night is two months after installation and they work perfectly!

I am 100% happy with these lights. Great when I go camping with my RV and use them outside what I like about them they’re not glass and their plastic and they don’t look cheap or anything. They are awesome looking at the campsite. The light is off great ambience. You will not be dissatisfied if you order these. Also, they are somewhat lightweight.

These lights are fantastic. I bought a couple sets, one for our screened in porch and the other for a firepit project I just completed. They're bright enough to give off some ambient light but not too bright that they'll blind you at night and ruin the mood. LEDs will last forever as long as you can keep water out of them. I live where we get all 4 seasons: freezing temperatures, snow and ice along with rainy spring seasons and hot, humid summers - so time will tell how they hold up. The bulb housings are plastic so they should be durable long term and you don't have to worry about breaking them. Each set come with a couple spare LED bulbs and housings which is a nice touch, be sure to hold on to those. 50ft are going for $27 right now with a 30% off coupon, I can't find anything negative about these and for the price if I had to replace them every couple years I wouldn't be too upset about it. The ones on the porch are connected to a remote switch that I can control from inside, and the ones over the firepit are plugged into a dusk/dawn sensor to come on every night. I ran wire in conduit up the side of the post to an outlet so that way I didn't have the bulbs running down the side of the post making it look tacky. There isn't a huge distance between where your plug is and where the first light starts, so take that into consideration for your project. You'd want to avoid using extension cords in a situation like this as that's just another spot for water ingress. These make for great ambient lighting next to our pool and give off enough light to keep people from tripping on stuff in the yard. This is such a simple project that will make a world of difference to your entertaining space, guests will absolutely love these and want to pick up a set for their place.

Lasting and beautiful

After the squirrels decided that the round lights we hung were nuts and stole them, we bought this set. We enjoy sitting on the patio in the evening with the lights on. They are not a brash brightness, so they're quite nice. I'm glad that they are waterproof and have proven to be durable. The only problem we've had is that 2 of the lights only work some of the time, and one of them is right in the middle of the strand so we can't really hide it. I didn't catch this immediately since they work some of the time, so I wasn't able to ask for an exchange.

The Addlon brand's "50FT LED Outdoor String Lights with Edison Shatterproof Bulbs" are a set of 15 bulbs on a 50-foot black cable. They are easy to install, weatherproof, and come with a vendor's warranty. They are available in a variety of wire lengths and bulb densities, but be aware of the line lead length and that you have easy access to an outdoor outlet. You may need an outdoor extension cord. The bulbs are very bright on first install. A natural warm-white at 2680 degrees Kelvin. Lumen output is higher than expected at nearly 225 lumens per bulb at full brightness while consuming about one watt of power. That's very efficient. I paired my set with a WiFi dimmer with sunset to sunrise astronomical timing. The bulbs dim to a very low setting, and I have the dimmer set to turn them on at sunset at 1 percent and increase the brightness to 75 percent over 20 minutes. This is a very natural transition and imperceptible through the twilight time, and with an astronomical dimmer, the turn-on and turn-off times automatically adjust as the sunset does throughout the year. A well-written instruction manual is enclosed. Be sure to read it and ensure that your installation is correct for outdoor / wet environments. Very pleased with the lights -- the only concern is that the mounting hole on the top of each fixture is very small, so you will need a small attachment screw or hook to match. The outer bulb cover is plastic and can be easily cleaned as needed. One extra bulb, cover, and fuse included in the offer. Also, the wire and fixture is only available in black -- may be nice to have white and green wires. Pros: Easy to install Bright light Water resistant Durable shatterproof bulbs Warm white color Good value for money Dimmer compatible (with separate dimmer switch) Three-year vendor's warranty. Cons: Can be tangled upon arrival (but easy to untangle) May be too bright for some users (consider a WiFi dimmer with an astronomical sunset / sunrise setting to match local sunset and sunrise times). General: I recommend buying hanging hooks with spring clasps to secure the lights in windy conditions.
