Brightech Ambience Pro Incandescent Outdoor String Lights - Commercial Grade Waterproof Patio Lights with 48 Ft Dimmable Edison Bulbs, Porch String Lights for Patio, Backyard - 15 Bulbs 11W

I was skeptical of these because I accidentally bought the incandescent version and didn't realize each bulb with three feet apart. Opening up the package changed my mind. They have a thick heavy duty cord. The bulbs are glass. It was packaged nicely. I went back and forth on putting them up because I thought the spacing would be too far apart per bulb. Honestly, once I got them up I was really happy I kept them. They look great and high quality. They're bright enough and hang nice. I'll be looking to purchase led versions for the rest of the yard down the road and won't hesitate to purchase these again.

I purchased 5 sets of these for our pool enclosure and installed them this weekend. The quality of the strings is very good and well thought out and it appears as if they made the string, then poured a solid rubber mold onto the set to make it very sturdy and water resistant. There is a mounting tab above each bulb so you can fasten them without pinching the wiring or risking damaging it. The sets come well packaged and there is no tangling. The bulbs are packed separately inside another box for additional protection and each set came with a spare bulb. Since we were stringing them over 25 feet lengths and some of them are over a pool, we ran a 1/8" galvanized steel cable and used stainless steel zip ties to fasten each bulb mounting tab to the cable to reduce the stress on the wiring and ensure safety.Firing up the lights for the first time was a WOW moment! The individual bulbs are not super bright but in the string they really light up the area with a nice incandescent glow. I wish we had found these years ago, I used to run white christmas lights along the enclosure to help light the patio up and would have to use flashlights to see the grill!There are similar lights from other sellers, but I am glad I purchased from Brightech, as the kits I got were high quality and really look more expensive than they are. While they are not inexpensive, they are a great value and I am so happy that I won't be worrying about whether the lights will work every time I use them like I would with the lower quality christmas lights with fake plastic globes made to look like these.

I never leave reviews and I thought that I must for these Brightech lights! We bought them to go around our deck, strung from 2x2x8 poles from Home Depot. We wanted to provide light and ambiance in the backyard while we sit. Well the ambiance is gorgeous, relaxing, and exactly how I wanted them to look. They are Edison lightbulbs which add character and lights are spaced apart about 3 inches, so they are not overwhelming.Something that took me by surprise that I think people should be aware of is their WEIGHT. These are commercial grade lights that can be used in cafés and restaurants. They're pretty but heavy duty... That being said, they are HEAVY. My original plan of hanging them did not work. I cemented the poles into planters and then added dirt and plants. The lights are so heavy that the planters fell right over. Instead, we drills the poles to the side of our deck so that they are immobile and the nights are hung from industrial eye hooks. It. Looks. Awesome! The weight has been accounted for and I am so happy with their quality. I am actually thankful for their weight, you get what you pay for!! Customer service is amazing, too!

These lights helped save the day! I have led grow lights set up, but knew they needed some more help when winter storm Finn made it to the gulf coast.I ran these lights 24/7 for almost a week. They helped my led lights maintain an ambient temperature inside our makeshift greenhouse 8-10 degrees warmer than outside. We had some freeze damage to our plants, even with them covered with frost cloth, but everyone survived! They truly helped save the day!They feel commercial grade and don't get too warm to the touch. They don't have an on/off switch, so I think a timer would work well with them. I love their size and the light color. They're very pretty and I can't wait to use them for our normal outdoor lighting.

I purchased these lights for my back deck and let me tell you I love them. After being hung for almost 2 years they have held up to all sorts of weather. I haven't needed to replace one light bulb yet. I get so many compliments on how nice they look and how bright they are. Not blinding bright but bright enough to light up my whole back deck and its big. I love that the end has an outlet so you can attach more lights or plug something else in. I often plug in a fan to keep the bugs away and give a nice breeze. Overall very pleased with these and they were an open box Item so I got them for a cheaper price and they work like new.

These are nice looking, lights that should certainly last for an extended period of time. With the 11 watt standard bulbs, they put out just the right amount of light for evening entertaining -- not too dark, and not too bright. Also, the fact that you can chain up to 8 strands together is a huge plus compared to most other lower cost alternatives. There are a few issues however: 1.) These lights are VERY heavy. I had to have my contractor return to add more tension to the guide wires and they still sagged noticeably once the lights were hung. 2.) The three foot spacing between the lights actually looks fine, but the "tails" at the end of each strand are also approximately 3 feet in length which creates a 6 foot gap when the strands are strung together. 1.5ft "tails" would allow for consistent spacing of the bulbs and a better overall look. 3) Even with guide wires, it is visually more appealing when the strands are pulled fairly tight which can cause the male and female ends of the plug connector to come apart when linking strands. You could probably solve this with duct tape, but that's a bit of a hack and again, not visually appealing. They should have a locking mechanism that allows for necessary tension to be applied without the plugs coming apart. That being said, I'm generally pleased overall.

Need I say more? They’re so durable, and cute.
