I love the way these lights look but they are somewhat cumbersome to put up. Also, this is our second set because they start going out in sections and eventually do not work at all. Wish they were more dependable.

Too often buying something based on the picture is iffy. Until we put these up, we weren't confident that they would give off as much light as shown. We needn't have worried, because these lights not only provide the level of light shown in the picture, but look great with our gazebo as well. It's also nice that if one bulb goes out, the others stay lit. It was pretty easy to put up - only took about ten minutes with two people. You can get at your local Target, but ours was constantly out of stock.

Installation was easy. I installed this in my 10x10 Madaga gazebo. The wires are perfectly measured to fit the gazebo without having to cut or splice wires. Years ago I installed similar lights in another gazebo. Those lights were generic x-mas lights used for decorating homes and trees. Because they were not designed specifically to fit a 10x10 gazebo, I had to buy multiple sections and cut and splice wires which resulted in a lot of effort and waste. These on the other hand are perfect! The lights criss-cross the ceiling, run along the perimeter and a section dangles down each of the four corner posts.

The light from the set is a nice warm glow and the intensity is just right; not at all harsh or glaring, perfect for entertaining, having dinner under the gazebo, etc.

Lights are very nice and not too difficult to put up. I should have looked at photo closer, because we have gazebo curtains on all sides which made it more difficult. The lights can't be wrapped around the top frames that also have the curtain hooks or you can't open and close the curtains. My mistake, but we made it work. Just took a little imagination.

These lights don't take much to put up, the clips worked well for me. The lighting is not over powering, but gives enough light to see what you are doing. I was worried they would be too bright but they are perfect. Very nice item that I would suggest to anyone looking to add lights to their gazebo.

We used these lights for a backyard party where we didn't have a gazebo at all! we used four 2x3x8 boards of wood placed about 15 feet apart from each other in a square shape to make the corners. Then we zip-tied these lights to the corner poles and it still managed to work pretty well! the outside wrapping only covered 3 sides but we were using a larger space than they are recommended for so i can't blame them.

Other wise they are normal christmas style lights that have been wired up in such a way that they work better than if you were using just regular strings of christmas lights. They were perfect for my backyard implementation and i would imagine they'd work really well in their 10x10ft original implementation also!

They only get 4 stars because they are just regular christmas style lights and likewise I don't have confidence in them lasting that long.

These lights were easy enough to install. The hardest part was working with my arms above my head. They sure do look nice at night. My wife loves them. THAT is the best part.

I love these lights and I didn't put them on the same gazebo pictured. Make sure that if you don't have the gazebo in the photo that you purchase a pack of zip ties from your local hardware store to help you secure the strands. Looks great and I love sitting out back at night with my tiki torches and lit gazebo!!

These lights are very bright but not to bright , much easier to put up then we first thought!! No problems at all and they look beautiful. Well worth the $20 spent and the 140 lights are perfect!!! Looks like a professional put them up and that is something we are not!! lol

Great for what they are. I was under the impression that they were led based upon my search. Other than that, just like regular Christmas lights, but constructed to outline your gazebo. Comes with clips, VERY easy to install.
