Brightown 38Ft Outdoor String Lights with Remote & 15 Shatterproof LED Bulbs - Waterproof Patio Hanging Lamps for Porch Balcony Bistro Cafe

I am very happy with these lights! There are about 12 inches (maybe a bit longer) between each bulb, which works great for stringing them on a large patio Fir tree, which is what I did. The bulbs are NOT GLASS, so you do not have to handle them with kid gloves when stringing. The BRIGHTNESS is ADJUSTABLE--25%, 50%, 75%, 100%....you get to decide the ambiance of your environment; I love this function so much!! There is a REMOTE that adjusts all settings: on/off, flickering or solid, brightness, etc. It is not necessary to be right near the outlet or plug to use the remote, as this remote will turn the lights on through closed patio doors....I mean, WHAT?!?! Another buyer's review stated that he's had these lights strung outside since 2019 and they are still going strong! Totally impressive!! Also, there is one extra bulb and a whole bunch of zip-ties included with the light set as well. Needless to say, I will be ordering again in the future. :D

Update June 2024: These lights have been hanging over our patio year round in Chicago since **June 2019** and are still going strong. We have not had to replace a single bulb, and the globes haven’t fogged. They’ve survived hail, a derecho, severe thunderstorms, subzero temps, and 60+ mph winds. Original Review 2020 We purchased these lights over a year ago, and hung them over our patio using the Belio String Light Hanging Kit (highly recommend that kit!) available on Amazon. The lights are great and look just as good as the day we hung them 15 months ago. We left them up over the Chicago winter and during severe thunderstorms, and all the bulbs still work perfectly. Before purchasing, I read other reviews that said the bulbs burn out quickly. We’ve not had one bulb burn out in 15 months of use, but we have had to tighten a few bulbs after winter, bad storms, or especially windy days. I think the vibration from the wind and/or the freeze-thaw cycle can loosen bulbs over time. Also, when screwing in bulbs before hanging the lights, it’s important to make sure the bulbs are screwed in all the way, which can take a bit of effort. The bulbs are plastic, so I don’t worry about them shattering during storms. Although they’re plastic, they look like glass to me, and they don’t fog up or become hazy. We get compliments all the time from friends and neighbors. I would recommend purchasing the Belio String Light Hanging Kit from Amazon. Hanging the lights on the cable keeps the weight and stress off the power cord.

I've used this brand in the past with no issues at all. I specifically bought the 38 ft string lights with remote because I'm using them in a 4 x 8 catio and they are just the right length. The remote is a must because I can leave them plugged in all year and can turn them on/off from the comfort of my home. The timer is a nice function also. I also like having control over the brightness. I feel like the 75% is just perfect for this many bulbs. My old Brightown lights held up for years, so I will update to let users know if these are as durable.

Hubby said they were very easy to put up and he loves the remote. he says the remote allows you to change the brightness. I like it too. they look very nice up and have had no problems.

These were absolutely perfect size for hanging on my small balcony, great quality and price, perfect brightness, easy on/off button, the remote control didn't work however, easy to hang

Perfect in my backyard lighting and ambiance.

I believe it's the best set of bulbs on the market. I bought 2 sets of 38 for our purgola in Sept of 24 (18 month of use) and have them on 80%of the time and never burnt a bulb. Love the remote

I read a lot of reviews before we bought these. I decided we definitely didn't want glass bulbs on the patio. But I was worried that plastic bulbs would look cheap and give off a harsh light. The good reviews on this product convinced us to give them a try. They come packaged with the bulbs screwed into the wire strand. The instructions suggest unscrewing the bulbs before hanging the wiring and once hung, screw the bulbs in. While this is a bit of a pain, this made installation so much easier. As our plug was lower on the wall that the wire reached we used an extension cord and have not had any problems. The bulbs are not indestructible, but will bounce if dropped, possible dislodging the filament. It comes with 2 extra lights, and the instructions also tell you where you can order extra bulbs, but I haven't checked the website. The lights give off a nice glow and look great on my patio.
