These EXACT SAME LIGHTS are at TARGET!!!! Room Essentials brand, same type, same length, same number of bulbs, same same same for $12.99 per strand (if still in stock). I mean EXACT SAME. I recognized them in the store the day before these arrived in the mail and I was kind of appalled that I had spent $40+ per strand online with this vendor. I will be returning the ones I ordered here and keeping the ones I got in-store from Target.
As for the three stars... these lights are great! Besides the overpricing, they are a quality product with a beautiful light and plenty of length. However, BE CAREFUL because I broke one of the bulbs while hanging them. I didn't drop the strand hard, but it shattered nonetheless. The bulbs are thin glass. I unscrewed the bulb from its socket easily and the rest of the strand works fine.... although I dont know if its still safe outside when wet... so Ill be using another strand instead... and for $12.99 at TARGET I can afford to get a new strand.
So sorry to this vendor for speaking up about the cheaper price at TARGET. I hope you'll consider dropping the cost.
