Best outdoor lights around!
These lights are fantastic! Similar ones on Amazon were $59 and up! These were on clearance for about $15 each! I absolutely love them!

90 days temporary use
I loved these when from the moment I saw them lit until half of them went dim(not out just dimmer) which was about 2 months in. I hadn't a clue what would cause only half the string to dim so I started to look over the wires and bulbs, the only thing obvious that may be causing problems was the water build up from the rain in the globe(so much for indoor outdoor in NYS) the next thing I observed had me convinced I was crazy... the little tag that is on all electrical appliances noted that the lights Only for temporary 90 days installation and use....unfortunately they didn't even make it that long before the one half went out completely :-( while I've never been surprised when a walmart product fails after 3 months this is the first time I've seen them acknowledge it in writing... I'm thankful for my newly acquired patience as well as the supply shortages in our area, otherwise I'd almost certainly own 5 strands of these defunct lights. has anyone else noticed this tag in their lights?? it's possible I'm the recipient of satirical workers practical joke...i know they were inexpensive but come on if that was written in the description i never would've purchased them.... neither would most people.

    NOT WATERPROOF! Terrible quality.
    Bought 3x packs of these lights in April. Haven't had them up for even 5 months and have already replaced 6 bulbs, and now need to replace even more. Nope! Straight to the garbage with this things. Don't waist your money if you plan on using these outside. THEY ARE NOT WATERPROOF!!

    Good buy
    Nice! Better than expected. The bulbs are plastic which is kindof nice I don't have to worry about them shattering.

    Perfect
    Perfect lights. Just what I was looking for. I ran them across my porch. They give me nice light. The plastic globes kept me from cleaning up broken glass. I love the white wire too... helps them blend with the ceiling on my porch

    Really bright Christmas lights!
    When we got this Christmas light set in the mail I didn't think I'd be this happy with Christmas lights. We wanted clear bulbs to make our Christmas lights shine on our tree this year. I wasn't sure how bright they'd be so I compared them to another set I ordered & WOW! What a difference! The Mainstays 100ct G30 Light-white Wire lights are much brighter! I took a picture to show the difference & am hoping they'll include it with this review. In the picture, you can see how much brighter this set is compared to the other set. I'll be returning the other set I got, and buy more of this set if I can find them. We're going to attach a set of these under our carport as well. They'll really light things up outside. If you want a set of bright clear bulb lights, this is definitely a set you should consider buying. I love them & they're perfect for what I wanted them for.

    Amazing Indoor / Outdoor Lights
    These are a great set of lights that definitely outperform expectations. Though they are 100 LED lights crammed into a 30+ foot line, they are not overly bright. These lights provide a classy look that pleasantly lights up a dark deck or backyard patio. My lower back deck was always pitch black at night. Since installing these lights the entire deck area is well lit creating a pleasant outdoor atmosphere at night. Also, after installing the lights they were subjected to two days of non-stop rain and still work perfectly fine. I definitely recommend these lights to anyone looking to light up their porch, deck, or outdoor seating area.

    Great light set... HIGHLY recommend
    I recieved the Mainstays 100-count Outdoor LED Globe String Lights. Starting with the Pros: Globe String Lights states the total length is 32.5 ft which is correct and what I like even better the globe lights actually come all the way down to about a total lengh of 31.5 ft of the cord so only about 1' of the cable does not have lights so it looks good and full all the way down and the spacing of the globes along the cord are in my opion nicely separate and gives them a better overall look with the lighting. The color of globe lights is a good warm light and not to yellow like sum warm lights and the color of cord is a nice matte finish brown and not the shiny brown cord which I definitely like alot better I think it gives the set a more sophisticated and overall better look. Cons: honestly the only thing in my opinion that could made this set any better would be if the lights had a remote and maybe different light settings (which the constant light setting was what I was wanting others may prefer different options). I could not be more happy with these globe string lights and I highly would reccomend them to anyone. I have tried a few others and these by far hands down beat any others and I'm hoping to purchase more.

    Glamorous Glowing Globes
    This is a review for Mainstay's LED globe string lights. There are 100 warm white long lasting LED globes. These are for outdoor use. The string of lights is 31.5 ft (9.6 m) long with the capability of connecting up to 15 sets of lights. They are flicker free. The actual globes are made from a hard plastic like material so no fear of broken bulbs. I have been working on outdoor living space ideas. All of our seasons are running together, so we try to take advantage of as much outdoor time as possible when weather allows. A key component to a good outdoor living space is lighting. I prefer to do almost everything on a budget. Mainstay's LED globe string lights allow me to stay on budget yet still give the impression of an expensive upgrade. Beware they tangle like Christmas lights. The string of lights is available in two colors, brown and white, which allows for blending with multiple trims. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a stylish yet budget friendly solution to outdoor lighting issues. The lighting needs to be durable to survive the wind where I live and these have endured. They can blend with any decor. With 100 globes per string, many creative lighting ideas are possible.

    Lights
    These cute lights are super neat and have 100 count bulbs. I am super excited about hanging them in my gazebo but they would be excellent on a porch on your trees or even rapped around a pole. Again they are super cute and up-to-date on outdoor/indoor fashion. My family just loves them.

    I love how these make my patio look
    When I purchased my house the old owners had these lights hung and I loved how it looked then. When they moved out they took them and I never had a chance to get new ones. These are beautiful! We are in the process of converting our patio to a more usable heated/cooled space so these will be a great addition to our little playroom once it is completed. They were just long enough for me to do a V shape across the patio, but they definitely light up our space well. Normally it's very dark out back but these provide a nice calming light that would be great for any outdoor living space. We purchased a separate outlet timer that we set to turn on at dusk and off when we go to sleep.

    Bright but small
    When I ordered this string of LED lights to decorate a tree I could not tell what size they were. I thought they would be a bit bigger. They are very bright and I really like how LED lights shine in a clear and crystal way. They are 100 count so there are many of them and the brown color of the cord makes it blend in with a tree. I took a picture with a coin the size of a quarter for contrast to show the size of them. I think it helps to determine if this is the right size you would want. All in all I like how bright they are!
