Novelty Starlight Sphere, Outdoor Christmas Light Ball, Clear, 10" (150 Lights)

Bought this to use on a self made grinch tree to hang off the curved tip. Is very bright and beautiful! Love the old school star bulbs. Great product!

Wife here.....We have 3 large deciduous trees in our front yard. Over the prior 2 years we accumulated about 2-3 dozen of these lights in both the large and small sizes, all in white. Then we added in about 10 small red ball lights within the scatter of white ones, mostly in these 3 trees. The look as you come down our street and see the trees all lit up with these is breathtaking! Neighbors were constantly asking where we got them, and how they heck we got them up into the trees! Here are some pointers....1. First, shorten the strings for the hangers. Optimal length of hanging string is 12" or less. It makes it much easier to hang them with the method we used below. It also helps you get them up higher, since there is a limit to how high you will be able to get to attach them.2. They come with a little green plastic loop but it's not practical to hang on a branch if that's what you want to use (too small a diameter). We took old wire hangers and cut them up into an "S", with the top part large enough to hook over a branch. Small part went through the green plastic hook.3. Get a long extension pole, and attach (duct tape is fine) the handle part of a paint-roller, so that you have right-angle bent hook (metal-only part of the paint roller) at the end of the pole. Hang the coat hanger you made, with the ball suspended from it, from the hook-on-a-pole, and with that you can hoist the balls way up high into the tree and slip them over a branch. It takes practice. At first there was lots of arguing between me & my husband, but we got into a rhythm and can do all 3 trees within a few hours without killing each other. We actually pulled out a 12' extension ladder to put these in our 30' trees, and had lights as high as 20' up. It was stunning.4. You can get a bunch of these connected via an extension cord, and it's a good idea to have the cord up and connected to the lights before you put them up if you have to fiddle the cords between branches. You can daisy chain them, but if the distance is too great between 2 balls you'll need an extension cord.Downsides: I took off one star because we ended up with patches of bad lights on some of the balls. I don't know if it was the new balls or older ones (2 years old), but I had to replace a whole bunch of lights when I took them down.

The pink / magenta ball emanates a beautiful light in the dark.

We ordered a few of these to hang on our porch as Christmas decorations. One of them came with some of the lights out (picture). I contacted the seller (Novelty Lights) and they gave me directions for trying to fix it but also immediately sent a new one that works great. I was very impressed with their customer service. The lights looked spectacular and we got many compliments - I would definitely do business with them again.But one thing I'd point out to the designers - it isn't necessarily easy to string these balls all together, because they come with ~8 foot cords, but the electric outlet is at the end of each cord, so unlike a string of lights that you can put together end-to-end, These can be strong together only at the very ends of their cords so if you want to put them close together, you've got a lot of extra cord. I would have loved it if they had an extra outlet by the light itself for stringing them together, but I suppose that people may hang them far apart...just know that for every ball, you've got to have an electrical source within about 8 feet -- you can't just connect one to a power source and then string the rest together indefinitely. All will wind up having to have an electrical cord. The way we resolved the problem was connecting light strings to one end and making those act as extension cords to connect the balls so we didn't have to have three long extension cords for each ball.

I bought three of these a few years back for a backyard Christmas spot. I have them out only for the month of December. This year, after working just fine for a week, one went dead. Okay--fuse--I thought. The light came with a fuse which I used to replace the suspect fuse. No good. I bought a package of new fuses (hope springs eternal) and tried two of them. No good. So, I bought a replacement light figuring I'd give these one more try--they are nice. (The defective light was on 24 hours a day for 70 days or so before it called it quits.) Fingers crossed.

This is what I had been looking for. It is a bright golden yellow. I used it this past Christmas and was really pleased with it. Glad I bought it.

This light is ued as a memorial to our son who passed away, but it does not last more than 6 - 8 weeks, then one side or the other burns out.

Beautiful, stunning sphere lights. Hang them anywhere. From posts, lines to trees. Decorate anyway that pleases you.

Good and we used for our Christmas decorations

look great

These lights are absolutely beautiful. All of them worked and we have had rave reviews from our neighbors. Would definitely buy again.
