These lights are definitely commercial grade. I ran two galvanized wires from my house to fence about 22' apart and ran the lights back and forth with zip ties. It worked perfectly,
These lights are so pretty. I love the high end industrial look. The cable is heavy duty and I expect will survive the elements for a very long time. The lights do not appear to be cheaply made and have a pretty thick and heavy cable. Take tist into consideration when stringing your lights as you'll need to ensure they are properly anchored to support the weight. We used black zip ties on either side of each light bulb 'bracket' to keep the lights from sagging, rather than connecting them at the loop above each light. This is going to keep them in place on the stainless steel braided wire that we bought from our local home improvement store. It took more time to do this, but I guarantee it will be worth it in the long run. I am going to live in my backyard this spring and summer because it is so lovely with these lights. They emit the perfect lighting for al fresco dining and summer BBQ's.
These definitely have a commercial feel to them. I joined two strands over my deck. It took a bit to figure out the best way to connect them; but I went from tree to house to tree etc. A friend helped string wire, attach springs on each end and put pulley system to the tree. On the house we used eye hooks.
Hopefully, the pictures below are helpful to anyone wanting to do the same. It looks awesome at night. I put the whole thing on a wireless switch. This was a great project.
Don't put the lights in until you have your line ready or you will end up with broken bulbs (whoops!).
Thanks for giving me a like to this review if you found it helpful.
These lights are exactly as advertised and are really pretty. I bought two strands to zigzag over a 12x10 area and they're just about right - I was a little concerned that the 3 foot spacing in between bulbs would look skimpy, but they provide great ambient light and look just right as a canopy about 9' overhead.
Be warned that they're not joking around about these being heavy duty - they're much, much heavier than cheap party light strings, too heavy to hang under their own weight for any span longer than four or five feet. You MUST suspend them from tensioned and anchored wires and spread the load across truss wires if you're doing a canopy - no zigzagging overhead over a wide unsupported span.
4 stars because each strand had one or two bulbs that were already broken in the box; at only 15 bulbs each that's disappointing.
Great Lights! We debated between these and the Vintage version with the larger bulbs. I'm sure the Vintage look really cool, but I think we made the right choice. These are considerably less expensive, the bulbs are still good size and look nice lit up, and they use significantly less energy (165 vs. 600 watts for the Vintage strand). And because of the lower wattage, dimmer options are much less expensive too; there seems to be a real price jump once you need to get over a 500 watt capacity on your dimmer. I would definitely recommend putting them on a dimmer too. They are nice and bright on full power, but it's great to be able to draw them down to even just a firefly glowing filament.
Also of note, I contacted the company to ask about stringing them, and whether they could be damaged by being strung without a support wire. They said "The strand can be installed without support but we just recommend using support to avoid hang." We hung ours, unsupported, with one attachment point mid-way between the ends of the cord. They run from an attachment on our porch to a tree mid-way, then make a turn and head to the peak of an outbuilding. Lights up the yard wonderfully.

Description
The Toughest Weatherproof Outdoor Lights
Brightech's Ambience Pro Outdoor Lights feature WeatherTite technology, which means we built the wire with extra protection levels. We also wrapped it in a strong rubber casing of premium quality construction, so our strands will hold up to the harshest weather conditions. WeatherTite makes our product last much longer compared to lesser quality lights available. Our light strands are well insulated so you can leave them outside all year long, even during bitter cold winters. Rain will fall and wind will blow, yet these heavy-duty weatherproof light sockets are strong enough to withstand the wear and tear of outdoor use year after year.The included 11 watt bulbs (165 watts total) are bright enough to enjoy an outdoor meal. Satisfied customers say the gently swaying bulbs look reminiscent of falling stars. Tether up to 8 strands together with nothing needed to connect additional sets. Lights can be attached to a dimmer switch for greater lighting effect versatility. Recommended for use in arbors or other open air spaces for festive occasions, garden parties, weddings, winter holiday & Christmas events, indoor use, or city rooftops.Don't Staple Your Shirt To The House Like Clark Griswold!The length of our cord (choose 24 foot or 48 foot) lets you arrange strands in a variety of patterns or clusters via zip ties. For installation, we recommend a 16-gauge guide-wire and then affixing the lights every 3 or 4 to the guide-wire, or anchor the heavy-duty strand with cup hooks into material that can support the weight. To stage a canopy, we strongly suggest you suspend strands from tensioned and anchored wires while spreading the load across truss wires. Not recommended for a trellis or for combining with paper lanterns. Power the lights via 110v plug-in outlets, not designed for 220v outlet use.

Manual
These worked great in our covered porch. The product is heavy duty and came supplied with 16 bulbs (one spare), fortunately for me I did not have any broken bulbs as in other reviews I've read. This string of lights worked great as a part of my project where I added Ball mason jars as the globes.
It wasn't an issue for me but the product description here states that the lights are "a generous 3 feet of spacing in between each socket" which was inaccurate, the product I received the spacing was at 30" between each socket.
The party feeling is on at our house. Love the feeling of walking out on our deck now, and my husband is enjoying being able to control the lights from his lounge chair while watching TV. Also makes it more visible at night for him to walk down four steps to take our poodle out to do her business, then push a button when he sets back down. Yeah, he smiles! Well worth the cost to have more security and safety at night.
Simple to set up, arrives quickly, be sure to order the hooks/my husband used copper screws, he found this easier. Oh, and the remote control too, cause you wanna smile. We are seniors or I would know how to put a pic on here for you to see. We have a deck with a wood shack roof and farm look white painted seeling, we measured and the lights fit exactly the length of the deck, but not the sides (still plenty of light) the lights hang down from a cedar board trim. My husband was a builder and he said the lights have to hang on the inside, not the outside of the deck and he was right, and the lights still light up the backyard. Wish we had done this years ago. So Happy, if you couldn't tell.
I was skeptical about these at first. I questioned the brightness of them and so forth. So let me tell you a story.
So I had a 10x20 booth at a food festival. And lighting the booth was a requirement especially when serving food. So we went to the event first thing in the morning to setup. Event went from noon to 10pm.
Just in case it wasn't Bright enough. I did go to Wal-Mart and buy a bunch of high wattage bulbs. Night fall came around and our booth was so brightly lite that I ended up returning the other bulbs the next day.
Everything was well lite with a nice warm ambience. We had chairs in our booth and everyone came by just to sit down and chill in our booth. They said it was relaxing. Lights were on all day from noon to 10pm nonstop just to see how durableit was.
Bulbs seem to seal the sockets when you screw them in so rain most likely won't be an issue it seems if used let's say a backyard setting. I might just pick up another one of these and put it in my backyard
I can’t say anything that hasn’t already been said in all of he other 5 star reviews, I’ll jus add some photos of how I installed them. Recommend using 1/8” stainless steel cable (Home Depot $40/125’) and turnbuckles (Amazon $20/6 pack). Use extra clamps and a wire loop along the way to make a positive stop on the cable as tie wraps alone won’t keep the lights from sliding.
We bought these for our large pergola outdoor bamboo patio.I do want to mention that it is not completely covered, therefore, does get access to lots of rain...and these lights have held up so great. These lights far exceeded our expectations. Very easy installation, high quality, and perfect brightness. We have left them on for days at a time and none of the bulbs have burnt out or proved to be faulty. Every time we have company over, we are constantly getting compliments. Even our neighbors went out and bought the same lights and love them. Great buy, and just be sure to pay attention to measurements to make sure you buy enough strands. We needed to for our very large patio.
