   Update to my update! Though they reached out and promised to replace the string light no charge, it never came. So, unfortunately it looks like they were only trying to get me to reverse my negative original review which you can see below these two updates. Again, extremely fragile bulbs, when you remove from the foam package these bulbs can’t touch each other or any surface as you take them out on the string! They fracture into a billion barely viable shards that fly everywhere. It comes with the string attached to the bulbs. My recommend if you purchase this light set is to gently pull one bulb out of the foam holder at a time, unscrew the bulb, place it back in the foam and do this for each bulb. Then take the string to the location, hang the string and then place each bulb in the socket. Make sure that there will be no contact with ANY surface where the bulbs hang, cause they WILL fracture instantly if they even gently come in contact. I will be removing these bulbs now and I’ll have to go to Lowe’s or Home Depot and buy stronger bulbs. In actuality, I’ll probably toss this whole thing out and just purchase a patio string from Lowe’s. My bad, I buy most everything from Amazon and this was supposed to save me time when I was planning our memorial weekend outdoor music on the patio gather. Ah well, I was excited that they reached out and offered replacement, but when they didn’t follow through, lost my confidence and future business. Again, if you hang this clear from any contact and are willing to follow my directions of removing the bulbs which are very very clear and powerfully bright (the good part about this string) then you’ll have a better experience. If I were in this company I’d recommend detaching the bulbs from the string and shop with instructions to place bulbs in string AFTER string is placed, and warn that bulbs are EXTREMELY fragile!!

   Update to the review below!!
   This company has reached out to me and we’ve communicated twice now. What awesome customer service! They’ve explained that they have several products that might work better for my situation and are happy to replace my current string. Wow! I’m impressed that they care that much!! So once I know the name or number of the heavier bulbs, I’ll def be ordering more strings from that line.

   In the meantime, no more shattered lights, string is working well, but with high winds in Florida, the heavier bulbs will give me piece of mind. If you do order this exact set, they are beautiful and bright, just use caution and two people when you take them out and move them to the area you will light. Ya know, like say Christmas lights are always on the floor as you place on the tree?? Just don’t let this string touch or hit any surface, be very gentle with removing and moving them into place, and you’ll enjoy the brightest bulbs I’ve seen!!

   (Previous Review, see update above)
   Packaged well but as soon as they are out of the packaging 3 lights just exploded into microscopic shards everywhere on my front room floor. This is definitely a two person delicate job. Two replacement bulbs came with the packing and we had to run to Lowes to replace the 3rd bulb before our guests arrived for our Memorial Picnic yesterday. The shipment arrived early and same day so that wad good. As soon as I can though I’ll be replacing these with a stronger set. And I may have to buy stronger glass bulbs and replace all these bulbs. I’m afraid that the slightest wind might knock these into something and shatter more. They ARE very bright but just WAY too fragile.

   The 25 feet is way too short, a longer strand would have been better, that was my bad for not measuring better.

    These are gorgeous. I put them up in my living room. The warm white is perfect. They don’t get too hot (like other G40 lights i’ve had before) so i don’t have to worry about my cat beimg around them. The price is amazing too for the quality.

   My only issue with them is sometimes they burn out kinda fast. They do send spare bulbs, so it isn’t too big of a deal. I keep them on ALL THE TIME and usually they last a month or 2 before a few of them burn out and i have to replace it.

   Still 5/5 because they are true to the product description, and are way prettier than those fake plastic ones that may last a bit longer.

   I would recommend these to anyone – my advice is don’t be like me and leave them on ALL the time. Make sure the bulb is tightly screwed in before replacing it if it appears to be burnt out. Don’t plug other stuff into the socket at the end, because it seems to cause them to burn out faster. They really are beautiful lights though.

    Update: the seller sent me another set of lights and they work great so far! I must have gotten a faulty set. Thank you for the amazing customer service!

   I loved the lights when I first got them and they look adorable in my classroom, but after 2 months, over 30 of the lights blew out. They only send 5 replacement bulbs. Not worth the hassle of screwing each individual light on when they stop working after a few months.

   I have these hanging all over my classroom as I hated the fluorescent lighting in my room. Great ambiance and perfect for the space.

   I also have them on my patio at home! Great quality!

   I Put them on my vinal fence in 7/2022 (it is now 6/24) I have never taken them down since I put the up. The are used every night to light up my back yard, winter through fall. I have only had to replace 11 bulbs since last year, we had a very cold and windy Winter in addition to soccer balls breaking one or two. (alway buy a box of replacement bulbs 24 count.) I also used them to light up my Gazebo. Excellent product.I highly reccomend them. I use an Alexa plug to turn them on and off. Keeps my Yard safe. I have four sets of 24 around my whole yard, and three set under my Gazebo Top. Repacing 11 bulbs out of 132 is not a bad percentage. Using the Alexa plug allows me to check my backyard in case I hear suspicious noises. Not dissappointed product exactly as described.

   These work fine and look great but they are not shatterproof. Upon opening, the lone extra light fell out of the box, hit the ground and immediately shattered with a loud *pop*. I guess I’ll be looking for replacement bulbs.

   I love these lights!! They really brighten up our back porch and the bulbs are just the right size, not too big or too small. Easy to hang too.
