Dissapointed on my review.

So we bought these lights and they were delivered on June 1st. We hung them and they worked.On July 3rd, I turned them on, and they would not come on. I changed the batteries in the remote control, and they stilll won’t work.Now, I’m pasted the return window, so now what? I’m out the cost and they are garbage in 32 days?!Would like the manufacture or revain to send me a new set, and I will happily send back the non working strand.

Pros
  • Installed on patio ,was a very nice set easy to install with the gluit hanger hooks....
Cons
  • need bulbs for multicolored HBN 48 foot outdoor string lights RGBW remote control

Purchased these for my covered patio. Easy to install. Colors lovely. Remote stopped working after 5 weeks even after a battery change. Now lights are on permanently. Cannot even turn them off. Have to go outside to manually pull the cord from the outdoor extension. I installed it high on the wall so this involves a step ladder for each use. Lights themselves stopped working at 12 weeks.

Pros
  • ‎Birthday
Cons
  • The product may not be compatible with other home automation systems

I love how you can change colors

They are not very weather proof. They get wet inside the bulbs and they burn out. I wish you would sell just the bulbs for replacement. I keep buying more lights just for replacement purposes.

Pros
  • Remote Control & Dimmable: HBN RGBW string lights come with a wireless remote, which enables you to switch red to blue, or 50% brightness to 80% within 48 ft.
Cons
  • The product may only last for one or two outdoor seasons

Really? Outdoors?: my feedback

After trying multiple companies, the reviews for this sounded promising. WRONG. I left them outside for a few weeks before I installed them and all the lightbulbs filled up with water. Surprisingly, they still lit so I installed. Now they are going out 1 after the other. Do not order!

Pros
  • Liked everything
Cons
  • The "white" color selection is yellow even though there is a yellow selection. Disappointed.

Stopped working after 1 day.

Got to enjoy it for about 12 hours. After turning it off for the night, lights did not turn on the next morning. Checked voltage at the outlet with a multimeter. There was voltage present at the outlet. String lights are defective.

Pros
  • ‎Dimmable and Extendable
Cons
  • Initial setup may require outside help

Already burning out

I was thrilled with these lights when I first got them. But after only two months, the bulbs began to burn out. Now, half of them don't work, and I never left them on for very long. Also, sometimes they won't come on at all (perhaps connected to outside temperature.) And, the instructions say to unplug them when not in use. But how is the remote control of any use if you have to plug them in every time you want to use them? Changing the bulbs is not easy, either. These lights are not worth the…

Pros
  • These lights we have looked for in Home Depot, and Lowes finally found them and are pleased to death.
Cons
  • The price point is too high for what it offers

weary of longevity on my review.

My plan was to hang permanent lights so I wouldn't need to hang lights again. I could change colors by holidays or my mood.so I purchased 3 sets of 25' lights Dec 8th and hung them on Dec 10th under the house eves using the command strips I installed last year. On the night of Dec 11th everything looked fantastic but 2 nights later I noticed 6 lights out. You get 2 spare bulbs with each set so I have 6 spare bulbs for replacements but it this happened before a full week of use.The remote works…

Pros
  • ‎General Purpose (Outdoor and Indoor)
Cons
  • The extension feature may not work consistently

Did not work straight out of the box. 😡

Took the lights out of the box, checked that all bulbs were seated properly and not broken. Put batteries in remote then plugged the lights in to wall outlet to test. Nothing. No light. Tried different batteries and known working outlet. Still nothing. These lights are trash right out of the box. Very disappointing 😞.

Pros
  • Outside lighting
Cons
  • The cord may be too bulky and cumbersome to handle

Looks great, love the color options

I love the versatility with the light colors. I bought 2 strings to go around my 10x10 tent. I did need both remotes to turn on each string initially, but after that, I was able to use just 1 remote for both strings. I did have both strings plugged into same extension cord, so they were very close to each other.

Pros
  • Most of the bulbs burnt out in 2 months!
Cons
  • Too dim

Worked for 2 weeks good for me

We purchased these at the end of July. They weren't used right away because we were building a spa area on our patio. They have been plugged in for about 2 weeks. Now only 1/2 of the string lights up. Typical. Waste of money.

Pros
  • ‎HBN
Cons
  • The product may be too heavy to hang from certain outdoor fixtures

COMPLETE GARBAGE DO NOT BUY

DO NOT BUYThis product is absolute garbage. Didn’t even last 6 months before having to throw away. These lights were also covered by a roof so they are definitely garbage quality.DO NOT BUY!

Pros
  • These lights seem to be very well made and work as they should. Good be brighter.
Cons
  • Disliked the bulbs not working after a month. Came with 2 extras, used them and another 2 have blown.

Not very bright, a little TOO yellow (I like warm, though)

They work well enough for me, but the warm-white is more of a yellow, and the yellow setting is more of a cool yellow, if that makes any sense. They're almost too dim. Use them for decor, not to see with, and they're fine.I'm not actually a fan of the other colors or the presets on the remote, but I consider them a "bonus" feature my daughter can occasionally play with. We got them for the warm-white mode.Beware that there's not much of a lead from the plug to the first bulb. That's not a…

  • ‎1 pounds
Cons
  • The IP44 waterproof rating may not hold up in heavy rain or snow

Not all that great: my feedback

I have two sets of these lights up under my pati ceiling. They don’t get very bright. Some colors are brighter than others, but over all they are just middle of the road on brightness. Changing the colors to white on the remote the button got stuck. It just stays white all the time, luckily I bought two strings and it came with a second remote that works for the moment. Some of the bulbs have stopped working. I can unscrew them and screw them back in and they might work, but usually a different

Pros
  • ‎1 inches
Cons
  • Not as aesthetically pleasing as other outdoor string light options

Poor quality: my feedback

They turn on at random times, and change colors on their own. Most of the lights have burned out in a matter of months. Would not recommend.

Pros
  • Multiple Color Options: HBN RGBW string lights provide 8 color modes and 8 colors (once at a time). Switch colors to create a brand-new ambiance and experience, romantic to relaxing, or quiet to cheerful.
Cons
  • The product may only be suitable for small outdoor gatherings

Small globes (which is what I wanted) and Great remote

I was looking specifically for LED outdoor string lights with a remote that included a dimming feature. I put these up on a covered back porch, so they're outside, but not actually in the weather. These lights have a small globe as opposed to the large classic Edison light style bulb shape. The remote is extremely easy to figure out. So far we like everything about them.

Pros
  • ‎80 Lumen
Cons
  • The product may not live up to consumer expectations

Arrived with one bulb not working. A few have moisture in them and a few more are already burned out. Purchased 2 strands and although they are bright enough not worth buying if they only come with 2 replacement bulbs for each strand and you use them one when you plug them in and don't have enough to replace all the others that have burned out in less than the return period is up. Now in order to return them ill have to take them down and thats a bit of work and time of mine that shouldn't even

Pros
  • Yayyyyy. Finally found a good enough twinkle. Not perfect but it works for me.
Cons
  • bulbs started going out after3 months of light use. Can't replace the bulbs so now it is garbage.

Not very durable and not very bright.

The remote works and there are a number of color options, but the lights are not very bright, even on full brightness. And 2 bulbs burnt out in the first 3 weeks with the lights on 5 hours a day. I'm returning them. Not impressed. Can't imagine what would have happened if I kept them longer.

Pros
  • ‎Remote Control
Cons
  • May not be compatible with all outdoor sockets or outlets

Great at first but bulbs burn out quick!

These lights were great at first. I put them up, in the summer.it set a nice mood out on my patio. Now, 5 months later, ELEVEN bulbs are already burnt out. This is crazy. You would think it would last longer that 5 months. The remote works great and the colors and patterns are cool, but 11 bulbs in 5 months is NOT GOOD! OK. Update. I wrote to the company, Official HBN, told them of the situation, they sent me a new set, free and without any hassles or issues. That's respectable. Still shouldn't

Pros
  • Worked great with a regular 110 outlet. Not for an RV…12 volt. Colors are great
Cons
  • Would not buy again. Way too expensive and stopped working after a month of sparse outdoor usage. Avoid.

Don't work - my new review

Only 1 of the bulbs lit up. I will be returning for a full refund. Plus the additional 2 bulbs were not included in the package.

Pros
  • Remote Control
Cons
  • The product may not be environmentally friendly
