I purchased 4 sets of these lights to replace older lights. The GE logo along with the statements on the box of a 5 year warranty and "Constant On" feature whether a bulb is loose or burned out made the increased price seem worth while. One out of four sets didn't work after we hung them on the tree. A call to the 800 number was promptly answered but offered no help. She stated that I should check all the bulbs individually to make sure that they line up even though they advertise a "Constant On" feature. She also stated that bulbs are inserted wrong during manufacture, shorting out the entire string and that is often the problem. If I return the lights they will mail replacements to me in four to six weeks. HELLO, WHO DECORATES THEIR TREE 4-6 WEEKS BEFORE CHRISTMAS? THE WARRANTY IS BASICALLY USELESS. YOU HAVE TO GO BUY NEW LIGHTS TO USE FOR THE CURRENT SEASON AND THEN GET THE REPLACEMENTS BY THE END OF JANUARY. I order on line all the time and get my stuff in days, but GE wants me to mail them back and then wait 4-6 weeks from when they get them before I receive my warranty replacement. I called back after not being able to find a replacement string locally. I hoped that they might offer to expedite a replacement set for my first Christmas with all new GE Lights on our tree, especially after paying what I did for the upgrade. The fact that I bought the GE name and expected some sort of customer service was not a correct assumption. The clerk on the other end of the call offered "to let me in on a little secret, nothing is made in America anymore." Oh well, her job will be outsourced to India soon anyway. The final straw was when I read the disclaimer in small print on the box stating the GE logo was a trademark of General Electric Company and used under license by Santa's Best Craft LTD. At least Polaroid and Bell&Howell waited until they went bust before they started licensing their name on cheap products. You might as well save your money and buy the cheap lights, or just keep on using what you have, because thanks to GE, that's what we'll be doing ...for the next 4-6 weeks anyway.

I just recently purchased these lights. As mentioned in previous reviews, the lights tend towards blue and I would call it pink hues...probably more appropriate for Easter than Christmas. However, I switched the globes covering the LED's, moving the violet globe to the yellow LED, and moving the yellow globe to the violet LED. The effect was to make both of these lights in the yellow to orange color range. It completely changed the overall effect to be much more "Christmas like". If you find you don't like the colors as they come out of the box, you might want to experiment with this switch. It worked for me. By the way, you remove the globe by holding the base of the bulb in the socket while twisting and pulling off the globe.
Other than the above, I love the lights. The string is fairly long at 33 feet. Lights are the perfect size for outdoor lighting. I prefer smaller ones for inside. Wiring seems pretty standard, not too flimsy. Lights are plenty bright for outside use. Lights stay on even if a bulb is loose or even removed. I hope this proves to be a tremendous improvement over the old incandescent light sets I previouly used. There is nothing more aggrevating than trying to find the loose bulb, and that shouldn't happen with this set.
Overall, I am very happy with this product.

This is my first year using these lights. They are wonderful! The low power consumption means I was able to completely encircle my house with lights and plug them into a single outlet. Not having filaments, the lights are much sturdier than regular lights.
The one downside is that the wires are not at all improved over the older style. I had two strings I had to repair because of broken wires.
I love 'em!

Cool lighting!
They were perfect, and stay cool, and just the right amount for the size of my artificial tree. Easy to put on since the tree was already decorated and order was shipped promptly.

I used these for outdoor accent but plan on using them on the tree in the future as they (c5) are small. These are well built and have had no problem with them.
