Fans love these lights, which have amassed hundreds of glowing reviews.
"I had ordered other patio lights previously (cheaper, thinking I could save some money)," explained a five-star customer, "but they shattered as soon as a twig hit them. These, however, are made of sterner stuff. I live in MN and the weather is not kind to them — strong wind with massive trees that drop branches constantly, weeks of subzero temps and squirrels using them as personal bridges to my roof. These lights have held up impressively well."
This enlightened reviewer used them throughout the harsh New York winter. "Love the look of these! More importantly, they’re SO durable. I left them up through the winter so we had some pretty lighting back there (I’m in NY so we get cold, snowy weather). They lasted without any issue!"
A final five-star fan appreciated the hardiness of the lights. "These are fantastic! They look so nice and light up well. I experience maybe 1 bulb in 100 burn out per year and each kit came with 3-4 spare bulbs. I have used these for 3 years now and they're going strong! Hot desert summers and snowy winters and they endure it all!"
One four-star reviewer didn't realize that the cords vary depending on the lengths ordered. "If you are ordering multiple lengths to fit your needs, pay close attention to the photos!! The cord and bulbs are not the same on all lengths. I prefer the round cord on the 48’ option. I also ordered the 72’ and it had a flat cord which, in my opinion, looks cheaper. Looking back now I can see the difference in the listing photos, but it is subtle so watch out for that!"
This smart shopper came up with a solution for the lack of controls or remotes. "I put them on a timer and they work great."
Want a different length? The 48-, 72- and 96-foot options are on sale too.
