Review on πŸŽ„ Vintage Bubble Lights Indoor String Lights for Christmas Tree & Mantel Decor, 9 Bulbs by Laura Ramos

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Exactly as advertised, though.

Look carefully at the photos provided by the company, I didn't do it. Things I would have liked to have noticed before buying. 1) The length of the cord from the outlet to the first light bulb is only 11.5 inches, so you will need an extension cord going to the first set of lights. (although tying 2 together is better as you don't have extra string to hide) 2) The hooks on the latch are backwards in my opinion. This tends to turn the lightbulb upside down. I believe the hook would make sense if you were trying to mount regular c7 bulbs outside on some sort of gutter as the bulbs would face down and no water would get into the socket. However, they show both in pictures and a chart and it fits the display. I ordered this kit because at the time I placed the order it didn't have bad reviews about missing liquid in bubblers like other kits. My set looks good and mostly even, but my two shades of yellow are missing the minimum amount if that's what you're looking for. It's not obvious and not as bad as others I've looked at. Other thoughts and why the low rating. The box is quite large and bulky to pack in, but at least they are well protected. One bulb didn't work so check as soon as you receive it. I am waiting for an answer on how to deal with the failed lightbulb. Blue bubble pears are difficult to spot as the color is on the dark side, but this doesn't detract from the overall look or mood the bulbs give off. The liquid used in bubblers is different from old lightbulbs in that they start bubbling relatively quickly. (positive point) On the other hand one tries to contact the company. The box contained a card with a web address and social media information. The official web address does not show this product in the list. The facebook page they give in the box and on the website is invalid although it looks like they have a new one when you search. I ordered a set of 7 lamps. This gives you two lightbulbs each, plus an extra weirdo. A set of 9 bulbs gives you three sets of three different colors just in case you suffer from certain obsessive-compulsive disorder. In summary, my current 3 star rating is based on advertised shortcomings and not attempts to contact the company.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • It's hard to remember but it was
