Review on πŸŽ„ Best-Selling AWQ 500 LED 49ft Christmas Cluster Lights for Outdoor and Indoor Decoration - Ideal for Christmas Home Garden Wedding Party Xmas Tree Bedroom by Shelley Highter

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not quite warm, small white spheres, nice brightness, 40ft lit length

I have previously ordered a different type of cluster light from the same manufacturer. These "onions" are transparent and flat on top (similar to very small marshmallows in shape). Her color was listed as "warm white" like hers. I wanted more of those bulbs and thought these globe bulbs would be a nice change. Manufacturer I assumed that the warm color value would be the same. I'm a bit disappointed for the following reasons: - The lamp beads are made of opaque white plastic. Look at the last picture on the list - it clearly shows a white plastic sphere. Lamps of other styles are made of transparent plastic. I didn't look closely at all the photos so it's clearly my fault. During the day, when the light bulbs are turned off, they are very visible in the form of small white plastic balls. I didn't like the look of our tree so I ended up using them outside on the deck railing in place of the tree. The light color value of these lights is described as warm white, but they are not as warm as the others. Stylish lamps from the same manufacturer. They are by no means cool or daylight, but alongside another style, the others are definitely warmer and look more "old school". In my case I have a situation that allowed me to use these lights elsewhere. than on a tree. As I squirm along the deck rail, I don't mind that white lightbulbs are visible during the day. Because our railings are painted white, the balls aren't really visible. If I had bought them at all for my tree I would have been very disappointed. **Note on both styles. from this manufacturer. Although listed as 49 feet, this measurement includes approximately 9 feet of tail cable that is not backlit. The actual length of the lighted section is about 40 feet. It is good for me. The reason I like the long end of the cord with no bulbs is because my outlet is far away and that length of unlit cord allowed me to sneak the cord that far. The length of the end cord is good and thin. While the flaming cord is weatherproof, the transformer plug and block are not. We routed these lights along the railing of the second floor balcony, but while there is an electrical outlet on that balcony, we plugged it in inside to protect it from the weather. A thin cord allows you to easily close it in the door without fear of bending or damaging it.

Pros
  • All great!
Cons
  • Not everything fits
