Hometown Evolution, Inc. 50 Foot G40 Globe String Lights with Clear Bulbs and Black Wire (+ 2 Free Spares) for Patio Deck Cafe Bistro and Outdoor Lighting

I absolutely love these lights. They have really given my little courtyard some character. After spending some time in Europe I was inspired by the quaint little restaurants and cafes we frequented while we were there. I was trying to go for a café feel. I ordered a cute little wrought iron bistro table to complete the picture. I hope it comes in soon. I cannot wait to really enjoy my courtyard café! :)The string lights were super easy to hang up and screwing in the little bulbs was a snap. I'm really glad I ordered two strings since I did a zigzag pattern. I also bought a timer so that the lights cut on and turn off at a set time so they don't waste electricity. The lights are the perfect level of brightness creating a nice ambience with which to enjoy the evening. If you are hesitating as to whether or not to purchase these, stop. They are wonderful and absolutely worth the money.

I have purchased 7 of these strand of lights now and they are amazing! They last a very long time I have 2 sets I bought early in 2017 and they are still working! I just bought a new set for a new house we purchased and this set was the 100' strand and there was an issue with many of the bulbs not connecting and lighting. I called the company and they immediately sent me a free replacement set no issues, and it had been a couple of months because it took me a while to get them hung up. Will continue to purchase these light and even more so now that I know they stand behind the quality of their product.

Loved these lights, they create such a romantic atmosphere. It's been a month since installation, so far they've been in extreme heat, in direct sunlight day in day out. Switch them on at night and it still works perfectly. They've also survived a few heavy rain falls, with all lights still glowing brightly soon after. I am curious to see how they survive the winter outdoors. One crucial point mentioned in several comments mentioned in several comments, is to string and set the cord in the desired location first, before screwing on the bulbs as they are very very fragile.

I highly recommend these lights. They arrived quickly and undamaged. They are lightweight - the cord is similar to a christmas light cord. The bulbs provide a soft, warm light that I know will be lovely to sit under during warm summer nights. The company sent a pre-emptive email about how to troubleshoot light issues which I didn't need to use as there were no issues. I did, however, appreciate having the information in case it was needed. I ordered an extra box of replacement bulbs as well which will come in handy in the future. I attached the lights to lightweight metal cord so they would be more secure when hanging and attached the metal cords to 10 ft electrical conduit pipes - it looks absolutely beautiful. I did my research before purchasing these bulbs and string and I'm very happy with the product. Would buy again and recommend others purchase this product too.

I got these because they were cheaper than most. They've help up amazing in rain and snow. Well to be clear I haven't had them on in the rain or snow, but they are on my deck and are subject to the elements and still work beautifully. They came with an extra couple of bulbs and all the bulbs worked right off the bat.

Update!!They already broke even though we only lite them up on Holidays and birthdays! :(looks beautiful! I'm very happy with the lights they look stunning and even with the wind and rains we've had lately they still shine, but only lasted a few months and we only put them on .

These looked amazing strung up at a wedding from beams on the ceiling and I love that they're end to end. The light is really warm and lovely and they are fairly attractive as bulbs go. If I have any complaints, I wish they gave you more wire on either side without lights. We ended up taking some out on one end to more safely get to the plug without potentially damaging the bulbs. You get one extra bulb per pack, but you really need more. They are delicate and easy to break (though we thankfully didn't break any) and burn out fairly quickly. We used it for about 10 hours total and had 2 burnt out bulbs by the end of the night. Not super noticeable, but something to be aware of.

Updating my previous 3 star review. The original string of lights ordered arrived with 3 non-working sockets. Brian with Hometown Evolution was quick to respond. He assured me they were sending a new string out as soon as they checked each socket to verify they were working. The replacement arrived a few days later. Upon reinstalling and swapping out the bulbs, I plugged the new string in -- there was a flash and all of the lights went out on the replacement string. We figured out it was a blown fuse located in the male plug in head. Note: there are 2 fuses. One is a spare for exactly this kind of situation. That's good to know. After all is said and done, we were short one working light bulb after replacing those that blew along with the fuse. The company is sending us a handful of bulbs to keep on hand. I appreciate their prompt response and follow-through. Be mindful that the lights are lovely yet temperamental. Customer service is great to help resolve the hiccups you may encounter.
