    I do recommend these!
   For Christmas I purchased these lights, as a gift for my girlfriend. Along with a remote, and the hanging hardware. Which I recommend if you are hanging them in the trees like we did. I gives them more strength and stability. It took a little work to hang them, but well worth it. My girlfriend and I installed them in about three hours, or so. They sat in the spare room until early March , as the weather wouldn’t cooperate. But finally we put them up in her little oasis in the back yard. It gives the area a warm glow, and a very relaxing vibe. Since we have installed them, there have been more romantic dinners on the back porch. Well worth the price. They turned out much better than expected. The remote makes all the difference in the world. We can turn them on from the inside and not even go out of the house. The lights are great, no issues with shipping, packing or the quality of the lights. They were easy to unravel (as several reviews said they had trouble). The pictures are right at dusk , and as you can see they are quite bright. With the aforementioned remote, it also has a dimmer, and a timer. They have been up for over a month now with no sagging, and no other issues. Hopefully we’ll get a few years of service from these lights.

   These are a staple for my backyard landscaping. I’ve mounted them on a fence, on trees, and suspended them from a pole. They prove enough light to see, but not so much as to be obnoxious. They work without a guy wire, although they look attractive hanging on hemp rope.
   Easy to work with and dimmable, they work very well with wifi devices.
   Get some Q-Hanger, screw hooks clips to make stringing easier.

   I purchased these lights for my back yard. I’ve had them for about 4 months and have had no issues. Extremely easy to hang, durable and gives the back yard the perfect warm lighting!

   Installation was super easy but unboxing wasn’t. It comes with an instruction on how to untangle properly by laying it flat and untwisting the blue wired clasps that hold the cords together. It doesn’t work. I just tried to untangle it carefully by laying it flat on my balcony. Once untangled, installation was very easy. I bought hanging hooks with spring clasps to hold the electrical cord during windy situations.

   I had to buy a porch light bulb converter since I don’t have an electrical outlet oustide my balcony so I can plug the LED lights. All I have to do is to flip up the switch from the inside to turn on the lights and it works great.

   I just bought a smart dimmer to change my light switch inside because I think these LED light bulbs are just too bright for my intention and the deisred effect. I have yet to receive the dimmer from Amazon in 2 days and then install it.

   The bulbs feel durable because they are made of plastic and not the very old fashion ones. They are also waterproof since it rained very hard here a couple of days after my installation and no water got inside the bulbs.

   The light bulbs are all LEDs so they are indeed cost efficient should you decide to turn them on at dusk and that’s what I planned to do that’s why I bought a smart dimmer switch to program it to turn on at dusk and turn off at 5:30 am everyday.

   I definitely recommend this string of outdoor LED light bulbs. I got mine on sale for $21.00 during Black Friday and I am very happy with it.

   The Addlon brand’s “50FT LED Outdoor String Lights with Edison Shatterproof Bulbs” are a set of 15 bulbs on a 50-foot black cable.

   They are easy to install, weatherproof, and come with a vendor’s warranty.

   They are available in a variety of wire lengths and bulb densities, but be aware of the line lead length and that you have easy access to an outdoor outlet. You may need an outdoor extension cord.

   The bulbs are very bright on first install. A natural warm-white at 2680 degrees Kelvin. Lumen output is higher than expected at nearly 225 lumens per bulb at full brightness while consuming about one watt of power. That’s very efficient.

   I paired my set with a WiFi dimmer with sunset to sunrise astronomical timing. The bulbs dim to a very low setting, and I have the dimmer set to turn them on at sunset at 1 percent and increase the brightness to 75 percent over 20 minutes. This is a very natural transition and imperceptible through the twilight time, and with an astronomical dimmer, the turn-on and turn-off times automatically adjust as the sunset does throughout the year.

   A well-written instruction manual is enclosed. Be sure to read it and ensure that your installation is correct for outdoor / wet environments.

   Very pleased with the lights — the only concern is that the mounting hole on the top of each fixture is very small, so you will need a small attachment screw or hook to match.

   The outer bulb cover is plastic and can be easily cleaned as needed.

   One extra bulb, cover, and fuse included in the offer.

   Also, the wire and fixture is only available in black — may be nice to have white and green wires.

   Pros:

   Easy to install  
   Bright light
   Water resistant
   Durable shatterproof bulbs  
   Warm white color
   Good value for money
   Dimmer compatible (with separate dimmer switch)  
   Three-year vendor’s warranty.

   Cons:

   Can be tangled upon arrival (but easy to untangle)
   May be too bright for some users (consider a WiFi dimmer with an astronomical sunset / sunrise setting to match local sunset and sunrise times).

   General:

   I recommend buying hanging hooks with spring clasps to secure the lights in windy conditions.
