The Addlon brand's "50FT LED Outdoor String Lights with Edison Shatterproof Bulbs" are a set of 15 bulbs on a 50-foot black cable.
They are easy to install, weatherproof, and come with a vendor's warranty.
They are available in a variety of wire lengths and bulb densities, but be aware of the line lead length and that you have easy access to an outdoor outlet. You may need an outdoor extension cord.
The bulbs are very bright on first install. A natural warm-white at 2680 degrees Kelvin. Lumen output is higher than expected at nearly 225 lumens per bulb at full brightness while consuming about one watt of power. That's very efficient.
I paired my set with a WiFi dimmer with sunset to sunrise astronomical timing. The bulbs dim to a very low setting, and I have the dimmer set to turn them on at sunset at 1 percent and increase the brightness to 75 percent over 20 minutes. This is a very natural transition and imperceptible through the twilight time, and with an astronomical dimmer, the turn-on and turn-off times automatically adjust as the sunset does throughout the year.
A well-written instruction manual is enclosed. Be sure to read it and ensure that your installation is correct for outdoor / wet environments.
Very pleased with the lights -- the only concern is that the mounting hole on the top of each fixture is very small, so you will need a small attachment screw or hook to match.
The outer bulb cover is plastic and can be easily cleaned as needed.
One extra bulb, cover, and fuse included in the offer.
Also, the wire and fixture is only available in black -- may be nice to have white and green wires.
Pros:
Easy to install
Bright light
Water resistant
Durable shatterproof bulbs
Warm white color
Good value for money
Dimmer compatible (with separate dimmer switch)
Three-year vendor's warranty.
Cons:
Can be tangled upon arrival (but easy to untangle)
May be too bright for some users (consider a WiFi dimmer with an astronomical sunset / sunrise setting to match local sunset and sunrise times).
General:
I recommend buying hanging hooks with spring clasps to secure the lights in windy conditions.
