Review on Brightech Ambience PRO LED Outdoor String Lights - 15 Pack, Dimmable Bulb (2W, Warm White, 2500K), Energy Efficient, E26 Base, Edison-Inspired Exposed Filaments by Cindy Tapia

Four years ago we bought an original Edison style Brightech String Light and enjoyed them in our garden. 3 of the original 15 lightbulbs at various points along the string have become very dim over the past few months - dim enough to almost seem out - but they haven't burned out completely (like an incandescent bulb). The cord itself (wiring/bushings/insulation) and the other 12 bulbs are still fine so we ordered these replacement bulbs to restore the cord to 100%. The original lamps were designed for 25,000 hours (corresponds to 4 years x 365 days x). 17 hours of work a day! ); By my estimate, they actually logged no more than 1,000 hours over a 4 year period. These tubes are listed as 2700K (like the original tubes) and appear to match the rest of the 12 tubes well in color and appearance. Also note that they are listed as 200 lumens compared to the original 250 lumen bulbs that came with the chain, but we can't see any difference in brightness between the two batches of bulbs. All in all, the bulb replacement was a good buy.
