Review on VAVOFO Outdoor String Lights 50 Feet G40 Globe Patio Lights With 50 Glass Bulbs(4 Spare) by Jose Gerber

Terrible - do not shop in Lighting and Ceiling Fans

April 16, 2020 I bought two strings of these lights for outdoor use around my pool. At first it's ok. Not great but okay. There is a control box on the power cords, and the remote control must be kept away from the control box to operate. Unfortunately, if you sprinkle in your garden, this is difficult. So you can use the button on the control box instead. However, since the distance from the button to the plug is only about 3 feet, you should be able to plug it in very low, resulting in the first pair of displays being unusable. However, we managed as we liked the weatherproof and plastic. We connected two strands together. The controls worked great for both and kept everything in sync. We needed a little more to finish the yard, so on April 30th we bought another branch. However, before the third branch arrived, the controller for the first two failed. We swapped places with the second controller (each thread comes with one, but if you chain them you only need one) and everything seems fine. Decided it was just a coincidence. The third strand has arrived. The description when you bought it said that you can connect three threads. (since there have been two). We connect the third strand to the first two. The third strand will not work. General. It worked well when connected alone, but not in a chain of three when it was at the very end. We tried that in the beginning but then the original two threads didn't work. We thought it must be a compatibility issue. I decided to contact the seller - following the instructions on the box - to see if there were different versions and we got the wrong one or something. Although we used "reorder now" it should have been the same. Two letters - no answer. Decided to return and just skip the third. Not happy - but it's easier to deal with. Fast forward two weeks - Thread 2 is out. Fast forward another 3-4 days - the first thread failed. We have now passed the return window for the original order! I contacted the seller again - this time through Revain. I received a ready reply that I need to process the return through Revain. Pooh! Never again from this seller. The good news is that Revane allowed me to return after contacting them even though it was outside of the return window.
