I was a little hesitant because of the lack of reviews, but given the ability to cut and create two units out of the one purchase and need to purchase additional supplies, I thought I'd take the risk. It was well worth it. We got these and cut them into two parts to put along the railing on our back porch. We purchased rail guides to hold them in place, as the included ones don't really do much. We also purchased an LED light dimmer because out of the box, these are BRIGHT. Once all together and working, they are great and well worth the purchase.
Purchased these lights for ambiance lighting to go under a tiki hut. I don’t want to be blinded out there at night and fall off the dock! They were pretty simple to put up, I had a little length left over so I nervously cut where it said to & kept my fingers crossed that the lights would still work after doing that. They did! So that was exciting. I chose the warm yellowish LED because it is supposed to be the least attractive to bugs. Only time will tell if that is true. I wish they came with a couple extra clips, if I had dropped any into the canal I would’ve been SOL. That didn’t happen, but a few extra clips would have been nice. I used four clips per side.
Hopefully they will last a while, they’ll be outside in Florida, I’ll keep them up year round. Fingers crossed.
I bought 6 sets of the bare copper wire type LED fairy lights with several remote control functions from another manufacturer and I spent days installing 300 feet of them on my perimeter fence with plastic string ties so they wouldn't get cut. The look was great but after each rain storm a different set quit working until I was down to only one working set within a month of use. I finally threw them all out and bought 2 of the 130 feet rolls of these LED rope lights plus a 50 foot roll and a bag of 100 plastic screw in hangers. It took longer to remove the old lights and string ties than to install these vinyl ropes using the non supplied hangers. I cut one set to split into two directions with ease and used one set in full to cover a longer section. They are much sturdier than exposed copper wire fairy lights and much easier to install. They are much brighter and are not dimmable but the warm white is a good look and they are weather proof. I have seen reviews saying others have dimmed them with LED dimmers but the manufacturer warns that it will reduce use life because they were not designed for dimming. Using a dual receptacle Woods waterproof programable timer on each set gives me control over on and off times and a Woods remote switch will be used on the 50 light set for a hotbtub area. I love that they have fused direct 110V plugs to protect them but run on 12 volts. They don't have the gimmicky fragile control modules for special effects that I don't need or want.
I would highly recommend these but suggest dumping the currently supplied install clips and string ties and just buy a bag of the flexible screw on loop hangers for under $10 which make a sturdier connection, have longer screws to hold in place and are much quicker to use. The only improvement I would suggest is to make a dimmable version option for more control over brightness and to upgrade the hangers with a loop type with longer scews. That would make them 5 stars.
The string of lights are up on my palm tree and show their brilliance every night. How long they last is the question that only time will tell. Being in one string precludes any partial replacement of non-working sections.
Make no mistake about these lights, they are bright. I wrapped them around my handrails leading up to my front door to light it up at night. My family calls them the "runway" lights they are so bright. Great product, no issues noted and would order again.

Awsome! Great dealing with this seller. Highly recommend! Will buy again on next project! I would recommend getting extra clips. I ran mine every 12 inches to keep a clean straight look. Seller is Great to work with.
These lights are perfect for what I need. I have put them above my kitchen cabinets for ambient lighting. Because they are rope lighting they lie flat and cannot be seen. I was using Christmas string lighting but they kept burning out. So I am hoping these will last a much longer time. The rope is rated as warm lights but they are rather bright. But just fine for how I am using them. Very happy with the purchase which was to be delivered on a Saturday but I was notified it would be Monday through Wednesday and they were actually delivered on Sunday morning. 😊
This rope light provides very BRIGHT and warm light all around the rope, not just on one side. My first set has survived torrential South Florida downpours and winds without any problems whatsoever. I liked it so much I just attached a second string to the first one. The connectors are set up to let you do that. It is my understanding that two sets strung together is the limit for one ac plug. All connections have a rubber, weathertight seal which attaches with both pressure AND a threaded piece (they provide special goop to aid in waterproofing), and there is no AC adapter needed. It just plugs directly into your outlet. Since we have squirrels and other rodents around the back yard (next to a canal) these rope lights are also THICK and tough to prevent these pesky critters from chewing through them.
I wanted a perfect accent around the edge of my deck - this worked perfectly. I was able to trim it (even though there weren’t clear instructions on where to cut, and it killed a few LEDs), however - I glued on the end cap and used the suggested separate purchase plastic clips. I used 3/4” self taping screws for those clips and this worked perfectly. I spray painted the white cord so that it would blend into my photo sensor box that control my deck step lights. For the price and quality - I’m super impressed. I would get the warm lights next time to be a slight bit dimmer - but still no complaints, these look awesome
Very happy with this purchase!
It works perfectly on out balcony, the way we installed it around the balcony - makes it invisible during the day but very efficient and beautiful look at night. We live in WA, there for the rain here is a constant thing - so far it holds perfectly no issues!
The only thing I would hope is some kind of switch to make it easier turn on and off rather than unplug it every time.
