Dimmable String lights

They were exactly what we had wanted for our patio. I was very impressed that at each socket there was a loop for hanging the lights! It made putting them up easy and convenient. They are a nice amber color. We did order a dimmer (which I will be returning) as it kept tripping the breaker and shutting off. The lights are perfect though and we are very pleased with them.

Pros
  • ‎USTX-11WESL01-1
Cons
  • May not be compatible with all types of pergolas

LOVE THESE!: my feedback

Love them.Looks great. Upgraded our deck tenfold. Now it is much nicer to relax on our deck on a warm night.They are just right in terms of brightness. Not too bright, not too dark. Looking beautiful.All of the bulbs worked and it was very easy to install. We installed them on the side of our deck wall and on the deck fence rails.

Pros
  • ‎No
Cons
  • May not be suitable for use in public spaces

Good Value. in my review

I've installed several different brands, and quality grades, of these string lights. These seem to be a very good value considering the cost, but the quality is just okay. I would say if you're looking for a professional set in a commercial application, these aren't what you're looking for.my opinion. If you're dressing up your home patio and don't expect them to last more than a few years, these are a good fit and won't brake the bank. The reality is, this is wire and light bulbs; pretty must…

Pros
  • ‎165 watts
Cons
  • May not be suitable for use near plants or gardens

Bulbs are delicate in my review

These lights look awesome in our backyard. I do recommend hanging the strand and THEN installing the bulbs. I made the mistake of screwing in all the bulbs and then hanging them -- we broke about 5 of them. Replacements were easy to find online.

Pros
  • ‎(Dimmer not included), User Manual, 48FT String Light, 18 Pcs Bulbs
Cons
  • May not be suitable for use in high winds

Adds nice ambiance: my feedback

Extremely easy to install we got three strings for the pool area and a dimmable Bluetooth/Alexa outlet.Works great and controlled by the outlet app or Alex is perfect.

Pros
  • Energy Efficient: Not only do these lights add a beautiful touch to your outdoor space, but they are also energy efficient. The 11W Edison bulbs consume less energy than traditional bulbs, helping you to conserve energy and save money on your electricity bill
Cons
  • May not provide adequate lighting for outdoor parties or events

Great Purchase! in my review

I had bought this as a surprise for my big brother for his backyard to add a bit of ambiance. Safe to say, it worked quite well and looks amazing. The installation process was quite easy with the loops. We are thinking of purchasing a few more for a villa we are constructing.

Pros
  • ‎GLS-18J2P-E26S-15
Cons
  • May not provide enough illumination for task lighting

Pretty but… best in my review

They looked nice when I started to hang them but once I added the bulbs I realize several bulbs were cracked and/or broken. I returned it.

Pros
  • Very happy with the lights and the brightness. Makes a great backyard oasis.
Cons
  • May not be durable enough to last over time

Would be better if they worked.

Was very excited about getting these lights. Arrived on time. Boxing was neat and undamaged. However once we put them up and put the light bulbs in. Only 4 out of 15 lit up. My husband took one of the working light bulbs out and swapped it with a light bulbs that wasn’t lit and it still didn’t light up. Put the original light bulb back in and then that light bulb wouldn’t work anymore.

Pros
  • ‎S14
Cons

Survived Hurricane Ian

Bought this two years ago and we installed on our lanai in SW Florida. We didn't have time to remove them before evacuating the hurricane and despite our pool cage fence and gutters being destroyed these lights didn't shatter or fly away. Impressive. Good quality that can withstand 155mph sustained winds.

Pros
  • Waterproof
Cons
  • May not be suitable for use in residential areas

Bulbs shatter in my review

We recently tried to hang the string lights and two bulbs broke with hardly any effort. Seriously, we gently laid the strand on the ground, and two shattered so easily. We have since seen that you can buy string lights that claim to be both shatterproof and LED (these are neither) so we will try those instead.

Pros
  • These lights look great over the patio would recommend them to anyone wanting lighting out side
Cons
  • Can be expensive to operate

Classy outdoor lighting.

We purchased these for a large front porch on our business and could not be more pleased. They give off a really soft amber glow, perfect for evening and night without being too bright. The cable is very sturdy and each light can be mounted if desired. They look no time to hang and both feel and look of high quality. Will definitely purchase more in the future, as they have made a very noticeable visual improvement to our business. They have been up 2 weeks and have had many compliments…

Pros
  • Tools & Home Improvement
Cons
  • May not be environmentally friendly

Great lights at a fantastic price

Lights were the perfect length for my project and every single light bulb worked. Just be sure to screw them in all the way. I bought the separate remote timer as opposed to the dimmer. The light they cast is just perfect for us…not too bright and not too dim.

Pros
  • Lighting & Ceiling Fans
Cons
  • May not be suitable for garden use

don't do it - very cheap - bad customer service

The lights came apart when removing from there box I have called amazon twice and was told they were replacing them - hasn't happened. When I called again they have no record of my call complete BS. 10 on the disappointment scale - BAD BIZ

Pros
  • Easy to put up. Hooked up to alexa smart plug. Use these weekly for volleyball hang outs.
Cons
  • May not be weather-resistant

NOT shatterproof for my opinion

They are NOT shatter proof…just FYI. 🤦🏻‍♀️ It doesn’t mention it, I overlooked that when I purchased. I had looked at so many and this seemed like a good deal. While trying to hang them EVERY BULB broke on one strand… once the bulbs break there is no way to get them out. I had to throw an entire strand away. Otherwise they do work…but pay attention that being "outdoor” lights it is important to get shatterproof.

Pros
  • ‎Incandescent
Cons
  • May not be suitable for use in areas with high humidity

Excellent lights! for my opinion

Just as advertised. Perfect amount of light - not too bright but just bright enough. Bought 4 strings for a birthday party of 50 and it was perfect.

Pros
  • Dimmable (Dimmer Not Included)
Cons
  • May not provide adequate illumination for dining or cooking

This Ad is Lying to You.

These have no dimmer. These have no remote control on which you can choose to dim the lights. The title of the product is literally " Dimmable Outdoor Bistro String Lights for Patio.” Surely revain wouldn’t allow them to mislabel their product like that, right? Actually revain knows that these are not dimmable. I contacted customer service to see how these are "dimmable” and was told that the seller means you could attach these to a dimming adapter, and he sent me the link for the 29 dollar…

Pros
  • ‎110 Volts
Cons
  • May not be energy efficient enough for long-term use

Love these lights for my puppy play yard!

Great string lights! I got to go around puppy play yard for night potty and play (she does not like the dark lol)Easy to install, came with bulbs. Initially I put the bulbs in to check for brightness- they are nice! Sod white, not harsh at all! Gives off plenty of light so walking in grass is lit up! I did replace bulbs with shatter proof bulbs immediately after checking the strings - the ones that come with strings are not shatter proof and I didn’t want to chance them breaking in her play…

Pros
  • ‎5.63 pounds
Cons
  • May not be suitable for use near water

Backyard Oasis for my opinion

These lights added a ton of ambiance to my back yard. They seem to be of high quality and durability. Initially I had a problem with them not lighting up when plugged in but after tightening each bulb slightly it resolved the issue. So glad I didn’t return them. For the price, you can’t go wrong.

Pros
  • ‎Warm White
Cons
  • May not be suitable for use in historic districts

Fantastic String Lights!

I'm thrilled with these lights! I had read reviews about many different brands of string lights and chose this brand. They were very well made, professional quality, and appeared to be durable in any weather. I followed the seller's instructions to hang the string lights before inserting the light bulbs and I then removed the light bulbs before I took down the string lights. The lights were bright but not too bright and I didn't need to use the dimmer switch that I'd purchased in case they were

Pros
  • ‎Rubber
Cons
  • Can be difficult to transport

Nice and heavy duty, tricky to install.

Ordered 2 sets of these lights. They are very sturdy and heavy duty. Just what we were looking for. However, after hanging them, putting in the bulbs they did not work. YOU HAVE TO REALLY TAKE THE TIME TO SKREW THEM IN VERY VERY TIGHT. After that they all work and WE LOVE THEM.

Pros
  • String Lights
Cons
  • May be a safety hazard for pets or children
