I sold two friends on these lights and they said they will purchase them. The interface is easy to navigate. Even an old lady can use them.

I have the Café vibe and the eve lighting. They’re a great light system. I picked the evid lights because of the mounting cups that hold the modules in. There is no screw showing and they’re permanently mounted. The colors are vibrant and so easy to change seasons. I highly recommend. I knew wish that you can incorporate them into Home assistant smart Home.

Lost original remote controllers.. Bought a new remote controller from enbrighten no instructions to link. Doesn’t work. 2 sets.

I purchased the WiFi version of the Enbrighten Cafe Lights and everyone that has seen them, really likes them. The grandkids are enthralled with being able to change colors. This light set is solidly built with heavy duty (commercial grade) electrical wiring that is quality sealed from beginning to end. I'm very impressed with the quality of this light set.

My gazebo is aluminum and I didn't want to drill into it to hang the lights. I had to search for a while to find stick-on plastic clips that were large enough to hold the 3mm electrical cable. These clips are what I used: https://www.amazon.com/Hooks-Outdoor-Clips%EF%BC%9A20Pcs-Outdoors-Lights/dp/B0CG58TTNB/ref=sims_dp_d_dex_popular_subs_t1_v3_d_sccl_2_2/147-9140100-4413307?pd_rd_w=gvDyp&content-id=amzn1.sym.bbc70deb-539b-4f97-9f6f-84ea5f3fecb1&pf_rd_p=bbc70deb-539b-4f97-9f6f-84ea5f3fecb1&pf_rd_r=QC9WNDCYPSZ5BRHEV0HM&pd_rd_wg=t9ZZV&pd_rd_r=d633eb68-32bb-4a3d-a81a-e7585122a27d&pd_rd_i=B0CG5BFCMC&th=1

The lights will display 3 colors at a time except when you use the "Fade" Effect you can see some additional colors fading in and out. It's really quite beautiful. You can choose your own color scheme from a palette of 60 or so colors or stick with all white if you desire. You can also choose from different effects including solid on, blink, twinkle, fade, chase, pulse, etc.) Light intensity and speed of effects can be chosen by a drag bar.

The string is 48 feet in length and I think it would be very unwise to attempt to shorten the cable which would probably negatively impact the waterproof integrity of the cable would also pose a significant safety issue. Multiple sets can be strung together if you need more than 48 feet.

If your WiFi system supports setting up an IoT ("Internet of Things") SSID which is 2.4 GHz only, I highly recommend that you use it. Temporarily set your phone to use the IoT SSID while setting up the lights. After setup, you can switch your phone back to your regular WiFi network.

If your WiFi does not support a separate IoT SSID, and is a modern WiFi that supports SON or Mesh that automatically chooses 5 GHz or 2.4 GHz signals, then you'll need to use the Admin GUI and temporarily turn off the 5 GHz antennas while you're setting up the light set. After setup, you can turn the 5 GHz antennas back on.

I'm satisfied with the integration with Alexa although I've only used it to turn the Cafe lights on and off, and to setup a schedule (on at dusk, off at dawn). These lights are rugged and can be used for hours a day.

Overall, I really recommend these lights.

These are fantastic hanging lights. Tank-like in build qualty, they're made of heavy acrylic/plastic with thick power cord between bulbs and fantastic RGB LEDs.

I've owned lots of outdoor string lights and this is by far the best built and most attractive of those I've owned. The bulbs surrounding the LEDs are attractively made of thick plastic with bubbles in the plastic. The LEDs are RGB and well done. The app works well, allowing individual addressing of builbs (though not to the individual bulb level for the user).

Just get these if you're looking for what must be pretty close to the ne plus ultra of string lights.

The price reflects the quality: these are amazing café lights. Right out of the package you will realize these are high-end, professional-grade lights. The set weighs over 13 pounds, and the cord is as thick as a heavy-duty outdoor extension cord (see photo of my hand behind the cord). The “bulbs” are actually near-solid acrylic with just a hallow tube down the middle to capture and reflect the LED light (see photo of one of the “bulbs” unscrewed). Trust me: these lights will laugh at a golf-ball sized hailstorm. Once you install them, they will last a lifetime.

Having said that though, one word of caution: these professional-grade lights require some “professional-grade” installation. You cannot just string these across the yard from one tree limb to another: the limbs may not even hold the weight of the lights. I similarly wouldn’t recommend clipping these to the lip of an aluminum gutter. These need a more permanent installation technique on a more solid surface. I installed mine on the interior siding of my roofed-over rear deck (see several photos). I also used Q-hanger hooks (see photo) which worked perfectly. (Just search “q hanger hooks” on Amazon for a variety of choices.)

In terms of lighting options, this set has a dizzying array. Once you download the app (more on that below), you can choose from many different preprogrammed effects: one (or more) for nearly every holiday and occasion, including Christmas, Halloween, Spring/Easter, St Pat’s Day, Mardi Gras, Valentine’s Day, fall colors, winter colors, champagne bubbles, rainbow, northern lights, starry sky, thunderstorm, etc., etc. Kids will LOVE playing with the controls!! Watch the video for a quick demo of some of the preprogrammed lighting effects (before I hung the light string up). A couple of my favorite effects for uniqueness: thunderstorm has shades of blue/purple with sporadic flashes of bright white, and champagne bubbles has “bubbling” colors of mixed white light (perfect for more formal events like a garden cocktail party). With nearly all of the lighting effects, you can also control the speed of movement and the brightness of the lights.

Beyond the preprogrammed effects, you can create your own with the app controls. And those controls are robust. You can turn off any of the individual 24 LED lights. This can be really helpful if you need to cross over a door or some other architectural feature that you want to remain dark. Or if the light string is just a little too long, you can turn off the last few lights. You can mix up to 6 separate colors across the string by choosing among 6 different temperatures of white (from warm to cool), from a standard set of 56 colors, or from an infinite color wheel. There is no color you cannot match with this light set (for example to match specific collegiate or corporate colors). I also really appreciate the 6 choices of white from warm to cool. Most café light sets have just a warm white setting. And while that may look romantic on warm summer nights, it can look “sickly yellow” against a fresh snowfall. This light set lets you perfectly set the mood and match the environment when using just white light.

Once you have all your colors picked, you can then choose many different effects from twinkling, to pulsing, to chasing waves, to fades, to shuffles, etc., and you can select the speed of movement. Of course, you can also just have the lights on steady solid without any movement. And you can adjust the brightness of your lights using a sliding percentage scale from 1 to 100%. Honestly, you could spend hours playing with all the options this light set offers.

You need a wifi connection and the downloaded app to access all these features. Without, you can still use limited features, including 3 white colors, 10 standard colors, color fade, color twinkle, Christmas, July 4th, Halloween, and rainbow. You manually activate and choose among these features by repeatedly pressing the on/off button. But there is no remote control, so it will likely be difficult to access that on/off button once you hang the lights. So in all practicality, you will probably want to use the app.

If you plan to control only these café lights, you don’t need to set-up an account or log into the app (you can proceed without an account). But if you want to control other Enbrighten brand products with the app, or want to control the lights with Alexa or Google, you will need to create an account. For me, the app was a little fussy to get set-up. If any step fails, just keep repeating it – eventually it will work. And once working, I’ve had no issues with it. It’s also rather intuitive and quite simple to use. (Note: I needed to update the app for additional lighting effects right after installation in order to proceed. Just follow the prompts.) See several screen shots of the app to give you an idea of how it works.

Bottom line: this is an amazing set of café lights. You will get what you pay for. And once installe...

These cafe style LED lights are definitely well made. The cord thickness on these is the same as the heavy duty outdoor 3 prong extension cords that withstand the elements.

Every light collar has a tab at the top for mounting which can be used with different fastening methods. Such as hooks, nails, or even zip ties.

Can be used with smart home devices as indicated in the listing but we don’t use those so we will utilize the app feature on our smart phones or the button on the power box itself. The end of the string has a plug so that multiple strings can be plugged in together.

The video is just a quick showing of the light options for this heavy duty outdoor lighting system.

The price at the time of this review is $129 which given the quality of this product and its ability to be outdoors in the weather is reasonable once you see them in person you will understand, these are not like a string of Christmas lights or even lightweight solar lights that you string up on a patio.

These are meant to last a while and hold up to seasonal weather.

These lights set up so easily. Each light has a hanging tab that gets screwed or nailed or you can do a hook. Really easy to hang but they are heavy. Which is good because they do feel and look like something substantial. The light is heavy enough that they do straighten out if they do not instantly hang straight down. I love the amount of light that they give. There are numerous patterns and you can create your own pattern of lights or you can use just colors. Yes they can be linked. It does have a manual switch (power button) You can dim them. The color options are wonderful. You can schedule, time them to go off after a certain amount of time. These have been a ton of fun to play with. It really is easy to customize your own light sequence. They look very nice and fit in with most styles of homes.

These are fantastic. Tough durable build suitable for home and commercial uses. This is not my first set of these lights - my older ones going strong for over 5 years only run by remote control . This upgraded set has the same durable waterproof , thick cord, with hangers at every bulb. Now with app control , wifi - can control from remote locations or use the remote control onsite. Solid choice for outdoor lighting that does not disappoint. Does not look or feel cheap and is built to last ! Love these - would undoubtedly order again . You can't go wrong with these - multi color and modes - can not recommend these enough. Had them up and running minutes with the app - hanging will take a bit longer :) hang point at each light - but its super easy to hang on coated aircraft cable which is how I do it - also how I would recommend hanging these to get that Cafe style look.

I would give these 10 stars if I could! These string lights are amazing! I wish I could show you all the things it’s capable of in the app. You will need to trust me, it has everything from picking custom colors to scheduling times to controlling with Alexa. The app was super easy to install, they give you a QR code in the instructions. It hooked up Alexa very smoothly. I can’t wait to get these strung up on our deck, which we are building this fall. These are the intimate party lights. There are so many different colors and I love that they have preset “themes” like Halloween, Christmas, 4th of July etc. In the app you have a ton more presets than what you get by just pressing the button like I did in the video. The lights had a firmware update which added 12 extra presets! They are very well made and with a thick cord. The bulbs are made of a hard plastic with blown bubbles in them which gives an awesome look over just a solid plain bulb. I got the 48’ version. Next summer our pool parties will be the best on the block with these awesome party lights! These string lights are worth every penny!!

We have had these lights up for a few weeks and are loving them. There are so many color options to play with.

These look amazing, were easy to install and automatically added themselves to the app. Very happy!

We love these WiFi vintage color changing LED cafe lights. There are a lot of preset lighting options. And with the ability to create our own custom light setting there are virtually unlimited options.
We also have a string of standard white vintage LED care lights that we enjoy.

Bought 2 of the 24ft length at Sams club. But now have several bulbs stop working out out. How do I get replacements? Thank you

they are so cool changing the color is a game changer

Lights work well. The app is a little buggy, sometimes freezing when I’m trying to change the light colors. My biggest complaint is the customer service. I ordered too many lights and am trying to return the ones I didn’t use. I filled out a return request 3 days ago and am still waiting to hear back.

Love the café lights. Easy to hang and look wonderful at night. Hi will continue to buy my lighting from Enbrighten. So far I have two sets of eternity lights and two café lights. They all work great. Very happy with them.
