No problems at all with these! Even during a really scary monsoon storm. They look wonderful....I want to always have these on hand! see less

We have a ranch, with an area where we host lots of gatherings, and are always on the lookout for affordable, durable, energy efficient lighting to hang in trees, etc. I think we've found it in these! They put out a decent light, while not being too bright/harsh. We've used a lot of twinkle style lights, which we like as well. These seem to cast a bit more light for folks walking around, and wanting to see their way. They seem durable, use little energy, can plug MANY strings together, and bulbs are rated to last 25,000 hours, so should last a LONG time! We ordered 6 sets to start with, and I'm ordering 8 more. I'll let you know if they perform as expected. So far, so good! see less

they brighten up a whole room and none of them broke MY ONLY COMPLAINT IS THE DANG PACKAGING it took me more time to get each individual bulb out of the pack than to hang them up on my wall. see less

Like everyone else has said, the bulbs are a bit fragile, but so is every bulb in this size. I broke two, one by stepping on one, and by dropping one 6 feet. found a place online for replacement bulbs [...] see less

I love these, broke one bulb and cannot find out what wattage or where to buy replacements. They look great! see less

Significant Other packs holidays items like a disinterested box boy at a market yet ours survived this from last year.I have mixed rice lights, standard miniatures and these on our tree and I like the effect. I found the clear ones way too brash of a light, and would think that it would be the same outdoors, though I have not tried this. The frosted globes really are somewhat different and pleasant light. I had no problem with breakage, but I have had three burn out by this years decorating. Replacement bulbs are a real hunt. It is a 7 watt Candelabra base, the same base as the C7, like the older standard lights one used on a tree. It is an unusual light, which is what drew me to them, and with this you have to hunt for replacements like this. see less

I decided to give these a try because they are such a good buy. I followed the advice of others and took all the bulbs out BEFORE hanging them. Then I went back and put the bulbs in and I had zero problems. I went back and bought two more strands and hung them also with no issues. These lights look really good and are an amazing value. If I could add another star for the value I would cause similar products cost like 3x more per strand. I would not hesitate to buy these again. Just take the bulbs out before hanging and you'll have no problems. see less

I hung up 8 boxes of these lights, 200 bulbs, without breaking one bulb. All you have to do is unscrew the bulbs before removing wiring from packaging, hang up wire string, and screw bulbs on later. Lights looks awesome and 160 feet of globe lights for 120 dollars, can't beat that price. Great purchase! see less

I've purchased 6 spools of these lights, and not a single have been tangled up as the previous reviewer posted. They have easily unwound from the spool. I had one set of lights where part of the string wouldn't light up, and I easily exchanged it for another set at the store. Overall, these are great lights. I shopped around quite a bit, including at Home Depot, Lowes, Wal-Mart, Ace/Best Value hardware stores, and found these commercial grade lights to be priced the best. Great lights, great value, reputable manufacturer, and ready to go off the spool! I would definitely purchase them again. see less

I thought the lights on the spool would make it easier. However, the lights were not put on properly and in fact were incredibly tangled. We therefore had to untangle it, and one of the lights broke in the process. Once we got the lights up, we were pleased overall. However, I don't think I would buy more of these lights again because of how tangled they were initially. see less

I honestly don't know why people are complaining about the difficulty of putting these lights up. I used no tools and it took me half the time everyone else says it took them. EASY install. The quality is great. Has a built in fuse, they give you spares. My set is going through this weekends rain storm and I have not lost a bulb yet. I left it plugged in just to see if the fuse would blow. Great set of lights. If you go to the other large store they are about [$]. Same lights in a different box, do yourself a favor and buy these. see less

I found that the provided zip ties worked for my umbrella they just took some time to lock into place. The clips that attach the ligths seemed to be the biggest pain to get closed correctly and this accounted for much of the installation time. I have a 9ft. market umbrella and it only has 6 ribs so I put 2 sets of lights one on each side of the middle ribs. Installation took a lot of time and patients but I am very pleased with the end results. The lights look fantastic and create a great atmosphere. see less

I agree with the previous reviewer that they don't look as nice as they do in the photo which makes them look like glass but I think they're really pretty on the tree all lit up. see less

I would love these if the plastic globes were not scratched so bad, in fact ... they almost appear cloudy. Returned 4 sets. see less

I wanted some fun lights to hang on our porch this summer. I ordered these and was surprised at how cheap they look. I guess if you look really closely at the picture, you could maybe see the big seam that runs around the entire circumference of the bulb, as well as some molded plastic bits that appear every so often along the inside edge. I of course did not notice this, and was expecting a round bulb with no seams. Maybe if they were hidden on a christmas tree they would be okay, but these lights do not cut it to hang up on my porch where they will be in plain sight. So not what I was expecting from Target, which usually has very high quality stuff at good prices. see less

Love this product... only issue is I had purchased them to add to existing bulbs purchased in store, and didn't realize that what I previously had were the 'warm white' led faceted sphere bulbs - and the new ones I purchased are a 'cool white' bulb. Therefore I have a mix of yellow tinted bulbs, and blue-tinted bulbs. I have went ahead and purchased more of the cool white bulbs to switch out w/ my previous sets, which I have no idea what I'm gonna do w/, as the cool white are much 'cleaner' and brighter looking. see less

I installed two strings a ... see more

I installed two strings along our deck over a month ago. We were impressed with the amount of light they give off - makes sitting on a deck at night a joy...not too dark, not too bright. Upon the initial install, I read that you need to turn them 'on' in order to charge AND that they should be charged for a full 12 hours before their first use. Since I work overnights, I simply waited to turn them on once I got home from work. I was able to tell they were turned on, simply because they did illuminate for about 30 minutes before the sun hit the solar panel. I read reviews from others who said they had difficulties...but if you make sure you remove the plastic from the battery, DO NOT TURN THEM 'ON' unless you have the ability to charge them for minimum 12 hours and make sure the solar panel is exposed for those 12 hours - you'll have no problems! see less

I purchased these last su ... see more

I purchased these last summer and have enjoyed them every night since then. The solar panel is on an extender, so amazingly stayed above the deep snow for most of the winter. We have them strung in a plum tree and the lights reflect on the blossoms in the spring and they seem to glow. The lights stay on all night until sunrise! I'm going to purchase another set this afternoon. Glad Target still sells them!(There is usually a protective film on the solar panel that must be removed and there is an "on" switch on the back of the panel that must be activated.) see less

So far I am very pleased with these Globe Sorar lights. The out put of the lighting is bright. One string was not enough. I just ordered 5 more strings. The lights add a nice warm glow to my yard. [...] I will need to order more for the effect that I want. see less

Hung them up on Thanksgiving. Still going strong. No cords to run, no outlets to worry about. Have them on my porch railings and they look very nice. A little pricey though. But they turn on around 5pm and I have been up at 1 am and they are still on! But if it is cloudy, they don't stay on as long. It is important to make sure the solar panel faces south or southeast for maxium charge. Will buy more next year. see less

We bought four sets of these last year after Christmas at a great discount however realized that we did not purchase enough. We were hoping to find them again at the after Christmas sale however they remained at full price. We bought two more sets anyways and have them going around our trey ceiling in our bedroom which ads just a touch of something more modern. see less

I had trouble finding led string lights in stock anywhere, so was pleased to be able to order them on line. The lights arrived two days after I placed the order, and we put them on a vine covered arch with a timer-- lovely. see less

I have a set of 50 solar string lights. When the day is sunny, they stay on until sun up. Even when they charge part of the day, they stay on until 2am. Everyone has to remember that the batteries are in the heat all day and cold over night, bad extreem for them.Yes the switch is wierd and will sometimes shut them off. leaving them off for a day until I figured out it wasn't someone else turning them off. If you want to know if the switch is on, then hold your had over the solar panel, they lights will turn on. Problem solved. see less

I picked up two sets of these lights for my backyard fence, to replace the traditional plug in lights I was using. I love the convenience of having them come on at night without any effort from me. The LED light is definitely not as warm as the regular ones, but it still looks great at night. The issue I have is that regardless of the fact that they are in direct sun for most of the day, they don't seem to stay charged very long. One set goes off before the other, but neither last more than a couple of hours once it gets dark. Also when you first put the batteries in the directions say you have to charge them with the power switch on, but it's just a button with no indication as to what is off and what if on. So you have to do a little trial and error there. Overall great little lights for the price, with just a few minor issues. see less

I was pleased at first with the faint light these tiny lights emitted. They gave a very pretty effect woven among the clematis on an arbor in my yard. But they dimmed after about three hours every night, even after charging all day in strong spring sun. Then after a week or so they started to flash annoyingly. After about eight weeks, they died. Even cheap products should actually work, shouldn't they? see less

We bought two sets of these lights for a party we were having. We used them above the dance floor and the lighting was great. It added great ambiance to the party. see less

The light color and brightness were fine...but, - single bulbs burned out which are supposed to be longlasting - complete sections of lights went out due to wiring? - finding replacement bulbs is difficult and there are two styles per string. Very aggravating. I think it is just lousy quality. see less

Placed these lights on my house for Christmas and within the month a 10 ft section of the 66 ft length went dead. Have had no luck getting help to fix or replace them. see less

I bought 3 sets of these for the evergreen shrubs in my planters between my garage bays, extension cords are not a viable option for that location. I only set up 1 as I was skeptical but now I'm sold. It had a full charge out of the box and worked great. The lights come on as promised at dusk and stay on at least 10 hours. From the street 40' away you can't tell any difference in the brightness of these vs the plug in LEDs. I've been using them for a week now and have had 2 very overcast days, 1 day of constant rain and results have been the same. My solar panel does get light all day and gets direct sun all afternoon. So far I'd highly recommend, can't speak to durability yet. Price is good as a solution where extension cords are impractical but plug ins make sense if you can make them work. see less

This light uses a very specific type of battery that is hard to find. Target doesn't carry them. When the battery quits working, you are pretty much out of luck. I live in Florida and wanted these for use all year round but they really aren't designed for that. I put them up in the middle of October and the battery gave out the middle of January. I am still trying to find that exact type of battery as Phillips told me I had to use that specific one, not just any solar battery. see less

I got these to put in a tall vase in my foyer. They look very nice. They have a good balance of lights and curled twigs and the cord is a pretty good length. I don't plan to put them outside, but you might need more than 2 if you were going to. see less

Awesome for any accent lighting.... we dropped into our halloween signature drink dispenser, our front pond, and accent lighting all over the house.... so cool! They are a bit pricy, but they last a really long time, and you can change the battery. Well worth it! see less

I absolutely love these lights for under our gazebo! They look so pretty at night and are decorative and not just the plain colored lights. I looked around at several stores for resonably priced lights for our deck and gazebo and finally found these at Target. I should of just went here first. They are priced very afordable especially when you have to buy several boxes. I have had lots of compliments from neighbors about how nice they look at night and are just the right amount of light and do not attract the bugs. see less

I love these lights and think they were a steal at [$]. So if I needed to spend another [$] for an extra set as replacement bulbs, it would still be a good deal. I have mine on my back porch and haven't had any problems. Love them! see less

Very pleased with this product.....so far. I will see what they are like after a couple years pass. But Very Bright Light. Show up great at night. And wide angle is correct. Some led's you have to be at the proper angle to see the full light. These are great from most anywhere. I would buy more of these. see less
