Great-Looking (Non-Holiday) Ambient Decorative Lighting

| I actually purchased two boxes of these from a local home improvement center sometime between Thanksgiving and Christmas of last year. I purchased them solely as ambient exterior lighting around my home. Since they looked so good, I decided to purchase two more boxes; however, that store no longer carried them since they were just a seasonal item (they only carry them during the Christmas Holiday season). So, I did an internet search and found them here on Amazon. The price was 'right', so I ordered two boxes. They arrived quickly and were just what I had ordered and what I had expected. Like another reviewer had mentioned, I too had lost a couple of the lenses which had 'popped off' one night during a freezing snowstorm. Unfortunately, because of their crystalline appearance/design, I could not find them anywhere. Fortunately, I eventually found them both after the snow had melted away. Evidently, those two lenses must've become unseated during shipment, because after 'snapping' them back into place, they have remained in place during subsequent freezing snowfalls. Their illumination is just bright enough for me and I really enjoy their subdued glow (not too bright and not too dull). Best of all, since they are LED, they hardly consume any power whatsoever and I have 'burned' these bulbs nearly every night for six months now. All remains well...cheers. |

| These lights are not as bright as I had hoped. They are very well made, and I think will last for years. |

| Lights are good quality but the LED only puts out about 1/2 the amount of light a standard incandescent C-9 does. I'm sure I'll enjoy the energy savings of the LED but they just dont have the glow. |
Plastics clips are worthless

| If you are planning to use the plastic clips on the bulb base, don't bother. At least 50% of the clips snapped off when I tried to clip them to our house gutters (and I was being very careful). The lights themselves are very pretty, but be prepared to use some other clips to hang them with. |

| I bought the GE LED c-9 colored lights.I like every thing about them except when I go outside every morning after it freeze's I have to pick up the lenses. They seem to get water in them and when they freeze the lenses pop off. Very frustrating to put lenses on every day.You would think Outdoor lights would not do this. |
