Enbrighten Classic LED Cafe Lights, 24 Bulbs, 48ft. Black Cord

We purchased a cheaper string of lights that only lasted about a year. Paid much more for these lights and they are SO worth it. Wish we would have just bought these in the beginning.

The lights are heavy and great quality. They look great, nice and bright but give a warm cozy feeling.

We had a few burn out after 2 years and the company replaced the string! I would buy again. Highly recommend...spend more up front for a quality product.

Purchased these lights in 2019. Recently 3 lights burnt out. I was going to replace them with Hampton Bay lights, they are about a third of the price. So I went on line and found out they replace strands if lights go out. I called them up and the customer service was fantastic. E-mailed a screenshot of my Amazon receipt and pics of the lights that are out and the new lights are on the way. The quality of these lights are far superior to anything else that I have used in the past. I will be buying three more strands to replace the Hampton Bay lights that go around the perimeter of my yard.

Awesome

A few important notes: I purchased a standard bulb set (12W bulbs) from Reit that were the same size and spacing as these for comparison. The standard Edison bulbs show a glowing filament, with a very amber color which is extremely desirable for backyard settings. However, the heat coming off even these very low-wattage bulbs, and the fact they will burn out in a few thousand hours, plus the much higher energy needed to run them convinced me to pick the Enbrighten LED lights. Just expect a fairly bright light, definitely not amber but warm enough that they look like high-wattage filament lights. Not really dim enough for mood lighting, bright enough to actually light up a yard. You should also be aware that the reason they say "never replace a bulb again" is that these are not bulbs. They look exactly like old-fashioned sockets with LED replica light bulbs, but the actual LED lights are molded into the base and the acrylic covers screw into the base to look like a bulb and socket, but they are not. You have to take off the acrylic 'bulb' to get to the LED housing. Three small screws hold their proprietary light in place, above the circuitry that runs the LED. I think they under-drive the PC-board LED so it lasts, and there are no cooling issues for the driver or the LED. I predict the lights will last a long time because Enbrighten seems to well-engineered their components. If these will be hung in a hard-to-reach place, just make sure you can get to the lights and spend some time doing a moderately complicated replacement of the lamp when they do eventually fail. The cable is very thick and should withstand even Phoenix' high UV and ozone environment. I've used a small hook drilled through concrete roof tiles to hang these around the perimeter of our second story. Thus my warning about getting to the lights after they are installed. I hung 300 feet with a remote timer and LED dimmer, works very well and only uses a measured 118 watts total, even with the voltage drop over 300 feet. The last light and first light in the string are the same brightness.

I originally bought a few sets of these cafe lights for our regular tailgate events since the rugged bulb cover seemed like it would hold up to the beating of being put up and taken down regularly. So far they have worked perfectly in that scenario.

When I decided to put some cafe lights up in my back yard (permanent installation, hanging from support cable, etc.) I decided to buy some more of these same lights. They look great and put out just the right amount of light without being over powering.

Recently, one of my strands started failing. One light after another started flickering and then was dead. After four years I was ready to simply replace them but I decided to try contacting the company directly and they held good to their Lifetime Bulb guarantee. I sent them a picture of the failing strand and my original receipt from my amazon order history and less than a week later a replacement strand arrived at my house.

The other stands I installed at the same time are all still fine, so I'm hoping the failed one was a fluke, but if not I feel much better knowing the company will backup its product.
