So far, so good on my review.

I bought two strands of these a month ago this summer and they've seen some temperatures in the 40s-80s and several heavy rains. There have been no problems. There are two wires inside the strand. It is heavy duty. The bulbs are excellent - a nice yellow glow for my back patio that is just bright enough to see well, yet not bright. I was originally planning to put these on a dimmer switch, but they are perfect as is. Good thing because my electrician rigged me a GFI outdoor socket, which…

Pros
  • ‎BULBS - 11 watts, 63 lumens, 100 CRI, 2,500 hour average rated life, Medium (E26) Base, Dimmable, STRING - 48' cord, 15 E26 sockets at 3' spacing, 1500W max, Connect up to 4 strings
Cons
  • The strings may not be long enough to cover a large outdoor space

High quality, large bulbs; depending on the amount of light you want, i would def recommend stringing in straight line for ambiance/dim lighting rather than zig zagged if spaced close together, BC it will end up being too bright. They are also heavy so you want to use a steel cable to attatch to the loops over each socket to help support the weight.have had over a year and no complaints! They will prob last forever ha-ha.look beautiful in my backyard.

Pros
  • ‎48 Feet
Cons
  • The bulbs may become hot to the touch after prolonged use

Party lights for my opinion

These party lights are extremely durable. They will withstand all weather conditions-made out of heavy rubber. Light bulbs come with the set rated at 11 watts. One of my globes was burned out or burned out upon first lighting up. I bought two strings which is sufficient to light the whole yard. I hung my sets on a cable wire to not put any stress on the electrical wire though it is also heavy duty, I think it must be size 14. They have already been through two snow storms and 50 mile another…

Pros
  • ‎1 pounds
Cons
  • The warm glow of the bulbs may attract insects to your outdoor space

and I love them. I purchased 4 sets of these lights .

I already own one set of Bulbrite commercial string lights that are under my porch roof, and I love them. I purchased 4 sets of these lights (with bulbs) and the light strings themselves are great. Not so great: the cheap bulbs provided with the set. We installed 3 of the 4 strings in a converted warehouse/event space for a holiday party. Three of the 45 bulbs (one bulb per 15-light string, on average) lit up briefly then fizzled out, leaving a cloudy white residue inside a useless bulb…

Pros
  • Lighting & Ceiling Fans
Cons
  • The strings may become tangled or difficult to store when not in use

Broken Light bulbs for my opinion

Love the lights and heavy duty cable, but after contacting IQ lighting, they said that Walmart was the shipper - we had 4 damaged bulbs in the container - the filaments were broken and the light bulb was inoperable. The bulbs cost $7.23 each, so I would expect a credit or replacement of the 4 light bulbs. Otherwise, great product.

Pros
  • ‎No
Cons
  • The cost of replacing the bulbs can add up over time

Great lights best in my review

Purchased these for our pergola. This is truly a commercial quality light string set. Walmart had them cheaper than anywhere online. Put 3 strands together and terminated the end after running the entire pergola outline. This is easily done by cutting the end and heat shrinking the terminated ends. (Don't do this if you are not familiar with the process). And contrary to other reviews, the bulbs are readily available online. I plan to replace the included incandescent bulbs with LEDs…

Pros
  • Versatile: Whether you're hosting a garden party, a wedding, or just want to create a cozy atmosphere on your patio, these string lights are the perfect addition to any outdoor setting
Cons
  • Incandescent bulbs may not be suitable for those with sensitive eyes or migraines

Only used indoors so far, work great after 2 years

I bought these 2 years ago and use them in my dining room as it has no overhead lighting. They create a nice soft light. I bought a dimmer and put them on a dimmer, but have found they are either on or off, so don't waste your money :)They aren't very bright, but a great soft light that is perfect for a dining room or outside!

Pros
  • ‎Standard
Cons
  • Strings with larger bulbs may be more prone to breaking or shattering

String is great, but the bulbs. they have issues.

The light string is heavy duty and weatherproof. The reason I can't give it 5 stars is the bulbs. I had a 50% mortality rate on the bulbs that came with the string. I ordered 4 extra, but one of those was bad too, so I'm still down 3 bulbs. The Starlight bulbs look great, but they just don't survive the rigors of shipping very well. I am concerned about what this means for long-term bulb life too.---UPDATE-- after a bit of fiddling, it turns out that almost all the bulbs work. Some of the…

Pros
  • Made from high-quality materials, these incandescent string lights are built to last, ensuring that you can enjoy their warm and inviting glow for years to come
Cons
  • The bulbs may emit a buzzing or humming noise when in use

Patio Perfect: my feedback

I've seen string lights, but these top the cake! I can't express the quality with which they're made, as far as residential applications go. They're very substantial in weight and drape nicely. There's a 38" space/gap between each bulb socket, and each extends/hangs roughly 7" from the main cord with the bulb installed. All sockets have a molded hook above for securing to the wall, rafter, or post. There's only 2 feet of cord length from the last socket to the plug, so you may need to…

Pros
  • Despite their warm and inviting glow, these string lights are surprisingly energy-efficient, helping you save on your energy bills in the long run
Cons
  • The strings may not be suitable for temporary use or events

Nice lights. poor packaging

This is a nice set of lights for outdoor use. Much nicer than anything I could find at local shops. One suggestion -- buy the extra bulbs now, because you'll likely need them right away. I bought two of these strands and had three broken bulbs in the bunch. Other than that, they look great, and I am very pleased!

Pros
  • ‎18.75 x 13 x 8.5 inches
Cons
  • The colors of the bulbs may not be as vibrant as other types of outdoor lighting

Great patio lighting and dimmable

I ordered these lights with the incandescent bulb option a couple of weeks ago (for $63, not sure why the price keeps creeping up). The spacing is good, since the bulbs are actually pretty bright. They look very nice, like commercial-quality lights you would see at a restaurant, and the cord is heavy-duty as other reviewers have mentioned. One bulb was burned out when I received them, it even had a frosted appearance out of the box, so I'm glad I ordered a couple of extra bulbs.I'm not sure why

Better than Expected! Wow!

I purchased two sets of the Bulbrite String15/E26-S14KT Outdoor String Light with Incandescent 11S14 Bulbs with 15 Lights, 48-Feet and boy was I surprised at the quality of the cord and fixtures! We took them camping along the river on our ranch and hooked them up to a generator for general lighting over Easter Weekend. They were great! We had one bulb that did not make it in shipping so I am going to have to get more replacements for the future but overall they were fantastic! These are very…

  • String Lights

  • The strings may not be as mobile or easily adjustable as other types of outdoor lighting

outdoor lights: my feedback

Had the lights up for 4 days and the holder broke and fell across my deck throwing glass all over the place. That said we had a second strand and my husband fixed the end that attaches to the tree or whatever and made it secure and safe. The lights are really nice - they are soft yet put off a nice glow. You just have to do something about the attachment. Update on review. Contacted the company and they immediately refunded our money. They were quick and courteous about it. Recommend that they…

Pros
  • WATERPROOF: These string lights are ideal for any decorative or practical use, both indoor and outdoor. The cord and bulbs themselves are durable and long lasting, even in wet conditions. Edison bulbs will hold up even after rain. Weatherproof bulbs are a must in colder climates as well
Cons
  • The warm glow of the bulbs may not be suitable for certain types of plants or flowers

I have received so many compliments on these lights. I am so glad I went with the higher quality lights (opposed to the cheaper globe ones). They give off the perfect amount of light in my backyard. These lights and string are rather heavy (think more of an outdoor extension cord string rather than christmas light string), so make sure you hang them properly or else they will sag very quickly. I did have just one issue - a few of my light sockets were squished (no longer a circle but an oval…

Pros
  • March 28, 2013
Cons
  • The strings may be difficult to untangle or organize

A Happy Customer best in my review

The Issue: 90 people invited for a 70th bday all day backyard party. 30 ft tent. 1 lone bulb on the back of the house.Solution: 45 ft string of lights. 2 would have been even better but 1 did the job very well. Many commented what a great idea the string lights were for the tent area instead of running a ton of cords everywhere for standing lights. Worth the money!Beautiful soft light. Haven't used them enough yet to test life of bulbs. Going to use on new patio next summer. Would buy again.

Pros
  • ‎Black
Cons
  • The strings may not be versatile enough to use in different outdoor settings

Very happy with my string lights

I have two sets of these string lights, the set with the vintage style bulbs. My house doesn't have any ceiling-mounted lights which makes it difficult to keep bright. Since i live in a rental, I'm not going to invest money into electric work.Anyways, I have these string lights mounted below the ceiling along the walls of my living room. I control the brightness of the lights & room using a dimmer. I can match any mood to set the right ambiance. You might think that these outdoor lights look…

Pros
  • SPECIFICATIONS: Included in the box in a single, 48-foot strand of Edison style clear incandescent bulbs. The string has 15 individual socks and 15 clear S14 bulbs. Bulbs are spaced apart along the cord. Each bulb is 11 watts and 63 lumens. These bulbs are also dimmable
Cons
  • The bulbs may not be as durable in cold weather as LED bulbs

Lit our deck very well

I was expecting a couple bulbs to be dead, but all of 'em worked. This is made very well. I only knock it a star because two of the light sockets were squished from packing and/or shipping, and were shaped oval instead of round. I used large pliers and worked them back to round -- luckily without breaking the sockets -- and the bulbs went in, held strong, and lit. If I was somewhere without tools, I would have been two lights down.

Pros
  • ‎48 Feet (Black)
Cons
  • The bulbs may not be compatible with certain dimmer switches

I saw lights like these outdoors at restaurants, the ballpark and on TV and thought they'd look great at my place. I'm a lighting guy and I know my stuff. I wanted some outdoor string lights and there are a bunch to choose from. There are cheaper lights and I know because I had my wife take them back to the store where she got them as they were just that - cheap! These lights from Bulbrite are professional grade, heavy duty, weather proof string lights that are durable yet easy to install…

Pros
  • ‎AC
Cons
  • The strings may not be suitable for use in high winds or harsh weather conditions

This is how stuff should be built

These are very high quality lights and they work great. Bought for my house, but I work in commercial construction and these would definitely perform in a commercial environment. 14 ga. heavy duty cord, ordered two sets and was shocked when I picked up the box from the doorstep, super heavy! Got tired of my cheesy target grade string lights with bulbs so thin they break if you sneeze on them. To clarify from the question and answer section: the plug is two prong, not three like incorrectly…

Pros
  • ‎810002
Cons
  • The bulbs may not emit enough light to provide proper safety and security

Very pleased. on my review.

These lights are fantastic. They are much more heavy duty than anything I could find at local retailers. I let these up outside all winter. Through several feet of snow and sub zero temperatures, these lights performed flawlessly in the spring. I didn't even have to replace any bulbs. If you are looking for outdoor string lights, I would highly recommend these.These have a two prong power plug. There is no ground wire. If you are going to string these up for lengths more than 10 feet, I would…

Pros
  • MULTIPLE USES: Perfect for patio lighting, gazebos, porches, outdoor events, parties, restaurants/bars, weddings, living rooms, bedrooms, and more. These hanging lights cast a perfect mood and ambiance to any event, neighborhood cafe or to your average night at home. Perfect for residential or commercial applications
Cons
  • The strings may not be compatible with certain electrical systems or outlets
