Review on 🏞️ Low Voltage 12V DC Outdoor String Lights for Gazebo Pool Deck Patio Poles Backyard Garden RV Solar-Powered Off-Grid Living - BECCALIGHTING 48ft 48 Feet by Clare Thoms

Works great. They are designed for operation with 12 volt direct current. Unfortunately, landscape lighting transformers are rated for 12 volts AC. Because they are "LED" (Light Emitting Diodes), you will see flickering when they are on during the day. This shouldn't be a problem as they shouldn't be turned on during the day. The reason they flicker is that current can only flow through the diode in one direction. This means you will see a visible flicker 30 times per second when the AC current reverses polarity. The good news is that this is not a problem at night. The bulbs glow so brightly between alternating current (AC) cycles that you don't notice. As for good news, I've had mine for 2 1/2 years and the bulbs have held up really well. To date, not a single lightbulb has burned out on a similar string of lights. (not exactly this brand). I have since purchased this brand and am getting similar results. Some things to consider. Plugging them into an AC landscape lighting transformer will likely void your warranty. Additionally, some advanced transformers offer both 12V and 15V outputs. A voltage of 15 V is available to compensate for voltage drops on long cables, since low voltage does not transfer well over long cable lengths without voltage loss. If you have one of these transformers, make sure you plug it into a 12 volt power source. You will burn out the bulbs if your strand comes off the transformer first. I had a strand that worked fine at the end of the cord, but half of the strand was popping at the beginning of the cord. I say "half filament" because you can actually split them in half (or whatever) if you connect them to a landscape lighting transformer. While losing my warranty I decided to split my strand in half and have two half sections in different parts of the yard. I will be buying another stand as I continue to upgrade the lighting in my garden and although I blew up a few bulbs by applying 14 volts I now know what I am doing. One last tip: if you want to try this, try one or two bulbs set for a night or two. If they fail, they fail quickly. If they don't let them down, they seem to last a long time.
