Mlambert 48FT Outdoor Patio Lights Waterproof Dimmable with Remote, RGB Cafe LED String Light with 15 Shatterproof Bulbs for Bistro Party-Black 1 Pack

I live in an apartment and I was looking for a way to have lights I could hang around my patio that would work for every season. Now, these have a lot less color options than the much more expensive sets, but I decided that based on the price difference ($100+ more for the fancier set) these would work great. They really do. They are bright, have vibrant colors and after 6 months are still going strong.The only negative is I have a smart plug set to come on at dusk and turn off at 11 pm. These do not remember the last setting, so they automatically come on white (clear). Also, there have been times the remote did not work to change the color unless I removed the smart plug. This happened maybe 1 out of every 10 times I tried to change the color during the holidays. Slightly annoying, but not a deal breaker for me. I like having the smart plug take care of turning the lights on and off so it’s worth occasionally having to have white lights when I’d prefer a color. Overall, especially for the extremely reasonable price, I’m very happy with these.I did also order the hooks with clips made for these types of lights and I would recommend those as well. These are heavier than regular lights and those hooks keep the lights securely in place.

**update May 2024 - I STILL LOVE THESE LIGHTS!!The lights themselves worked great, but the separate connection cord for the plug went out. Over 2.5 years, I burned through 3 plugs. I finally ran out of replacements a couple months ago. I reached out to customer service who actually responded to my email. They sent me the link for the replacement plug. I ordered 3, none worked. I ordered replacements for those and still no dice. They were not compatible with the older model lights. One review said they worked, but only RED worked, which was the problem I had.After some back and forth with customer service, they actually sent me 1 new strand for free… even though I bought the lights in 2022. A+++ for spectacular customer service. I was genuinely impressed.As mentioned in below, I did buy a warranty which I did cash in on and purchased a new warranty with each new strand. $8 warranty is worth it.Previous review I also stated if you use an auto timer, the lights will always turn on white.. NEW STRANDS TURN ON WHATEVER COLOR PREVIOUSLY SET ON WHEN USING AN AUTO TIMER!**update December 1, 2022 - All still working like new!***I live less than 1 mile from the Texas Gulf Coast and I've never had much luck with regular Christmas lights, they never last. I actually bought regular white patio lights first, but a few days after, these multicolor's went on sale and I returned the other white's and bought these instead. I bought these end of July 2022 and it's now almost October 2022. So far they've been great!They came will 3 replacement bulbs for each strand. I haven't used any yet. All my lights are equally the same color.***Just for safe measure, I did buy a 4 yr warranty, around $8 for each strand. New can cost up to $65+ to replace if not on sale, so I think that it's worth it.***A few things to note:1) You can only use one color at a time. There is not a setting to make individual bulbs a different color. :(I think it can flash between a few colors, but that's a little too much for me and honestly, I haven't figured it out yet.2. If you are using an auto timer, it will NOT go back to your last setting. Auto timers will turn on to the regular white and you'll have to change manually. **It will only return back to your previous setting IF you are only using the remote.**Not really a deal breaker considering most lights are white anyway and you do have all the other great color options.I will update my review if I end up having a bunch of problems.

I love the look of these lights and the ability to change the colors. Each strand came with three extra replacement bulbs. That said, the bulbs do not last as long as traditional LED bulbs. Within 6 months of occasional use, all of the replacements are being used and I had to order more replacements, which have extended shipping times, to replace others that are out.UPDATE since posting this review, the seller contacted me to make things right by shipping me replacement bulbs so I've updated the rating since the customer service is great.

FINAL UPDATE: The light strings have worked great since receiving the new parts a few months ago. They look great and provide good lighting.UPDATE: The seller contacted us and replaced the faulty light string switches at no cost. The lights started working again as soon as we connected the new switch. We will update this review at a later date with performance results of the new switches.I ordered 2 sets of lights and strung them together. After less than 2 months both control boxes are bad. The first one stopped working after about a month and the other just stopped. The control box was secured under the patio to protect it from the direct elements.Contacted the seller to see if I could...at a minimum..purchase the bad control box, but have not received any response.I would not suggest this brand.

I have purchased these lights twice and twice after several months they don’t work. Faulty mechanism and there is never a response from the company. Looks great but hardly lasts. Waste of money. Do yourself a favor. But something else. I never give bad reviews but this one deserves it

Love Love Love my lights! So many options to use on how to display the colors. Very vibrant colored lights. Quality is great. I could easily hand these on my Gazebo. I also like that I can be in the house on very cold or rainy evenings and just use the remote to set the kind of light display I want.

I’ve had two sets of these on my porch for a year. I did like them until a couple weeks ago I noticed some had gone out. Went to replace them only to realize there were a total of 11 bulbs out and only six replacements were originally sent with the package. I was able to use the extras from a similar brand but surprised that so many LED lights had gone out with only a year of use. These don’t get super bright either, would have to string back and fourth to get the bulbs close together to use as light source, but cute as decoration.
