12 ft. 6 Socket LED Flame Effect Indoor/Outdoor String Light

Easy to hang..looks great on our pergola in the evening. Just hung up and already been through 2 thunderstorms with hail and no problems.

Great lights! The bulbs are large and seem very durable. The lights can change from flickering to non-flickering very easily. Just unplug and plug them back in quickly and they change. The flickering is subtle and doesn’t look fake. I really like the warm glow that they provide. The strand of lights is not very long so you’ll definitely need multiple sets to create a zig zag cafe light look but one strand was enough for me to hang across my back deck and create a warm ambiance. The bulbs drop several inches so you’ll need to hang them a little higher so they’re not hitting people in the head.

These sturdy lights are perfectly suited to outdoor lighting. The heavy duty cord is well rubberized against water intrusion, the female end has an integrated weather proof cap and the fuse in the male plug is double sealed against water getting in. I would not hesitate using these lights in areas prone to water exposure. The LED bulbs are plastic so they seem a bit more durable than standard glass bulbs. At first I was skeptical about this, but when you think that these ar likely to be used in areas such as patios areas where kids and adults are likely to be barefoot, plastic seems to be a good choice. The bulbs default to a (somewhat annoying to me) flicker mode. If you cycle the power to the lights (on-off-on) within a 2 second period, they switch to a constantly on mode. I like this "programming" method better than having a control box because it is so much simpler and there is less to fail. The package also comes with one spare bulb and a spare fuse. A nice touch in my opinion. I'm looking forward to using them on the back porch this Spring.

WOW, a full 12 ft of Hampton Bay LED Flame Effect string lights. They are beautiful bulbs with a candle flame look. And no risk whatsoever, and they flicker just like a candle flame. The cord is heavy duty for indoor/ outdoor usage. One string offers 12 ft - 6 bulbs with the option to use up to 36 sets if needed. The bulb bases are made to hang so they are waterproof sealed around the base of the bulb. No worries. They are ideal for patios, walkways, decks, porches and stores and restaurants where great decorative lighting is desired. It even came with a spare bulb. Great pamphlet too. Happy about this purchase. So exciting.

The appearance of the bulbs lend to the affect of gas lighting. They really look good and I don't think my camera pictures do justice. The main line is very heavy duty cord that I won't worry about leaving out for three seasons. Before you decide on this type of lights, you should see these lit. Included is an extra bulb. There was no problem with the six that were included. So if one does burn out, it will give me time to order a replacement. But LEDs last a long time

These are six two-watt shatter-proof bulbs that stay lit or flicker with a yellow light approximating a yellow flame; the bulbs come covered with little plastic shower-type caps. The string is 12 ft long with a prong plug on one end and a capped female plug on the end so up to 32 strings can be put together as per the back specs on the box when 2 watt bulbs are used (as with this product) but on the front, it says “Connect up to five sets”. That would be 384 feet long for the former and 60 ft for the latter! It is not clear which spec is correct. To add to the confusion, the instructions match higher bulb wattage choices with the number of possible string sets but 5 sets in not in the chart. I reached out to Home Depot for clarification on the conflicting front and back box number of connected sets; I received a call back from the manufacturer who said the “connect up to 5 sets” is inaccurate and should not be on the box. The lights hang down from the cord by 8 inches including the bulb. Each bulb has a thick rubber clip with a hole in it so as to affix the cord, light by light, with screws. There are 24 inches between bulbs. From the prong plug to the first light, there is 18 inches. These are LED shatterproof bulbs; there is one extra. The box says commercial grade. Instructions are included. Regardless of wattage and number of connected sets, instructions say no more than 432 watts total. There is a two-year warranty; once the lights are up, they are meant to stay up. They could be easily removed with a screwdriver but they are outdoor-rated. Switched or with a timer, these lights look nice when on. The default light is flicker; toggle off and back on power after two seconds to get a solid light. To reset to flicker, toggle off and back on power after five seconds. The prong plug has a fuse in it; instructions say a replaceable fuse is provided with the product but I think that means it comes with an installed fuse, not an extra. Be sure the bulbs are away from a spa or a pool so there is no danger of their falling into water. They are waterproof for weather but not immersion. The lights look like they are quality made. The bulbs give a nice effect with a subtle yet surprising amount of light, and instructions are larger-print and for the most part, clear. I find the price to be fair, and the product is a nice way to provide ambiance outside on a deck or porch. I recommend it.

Hampton Bay Indoor/Outdoor String Light. LED Flame Effect string light set is designed for indoor and outdoor use. The bulbs simulate a natural candle flame look without the risk of a real flame. The lights can be set to a solid color or to flicker like a flame, easily charged between the two settings with a simple toggle of a light switch. The single strand includes 12 ft. black heavy-duty 18/2 SJTW Cord with 6 sockets spaced 2 ft. apart and seven (6) 2-Watt LED Flame Effect light bulbs. There is also a replacement bulb included in the box. Commercial grade lights are ideal for patios, porches, walkways, restaurants and anywhere decorative and accent light is desired. We will be using this string light set outside on our pergola this spring. You can connect up to 10 string light sets together end-to-end for larger areas.

I rate the Hampton Bay Flame Effect String Lights, 5 STARS, with slight reservation. They are made of quality materials and the shatterproof "bulbs" are indeed rugged and sturdy. These are LED lights so the "bulb" is in fact only a cover -but they look very bulb-like. You can safely connect up to 5 sets of these light strings -very nice for creating ambiance in a larger outdoor/indoor setting. My only issue with these lights is in the marketing -they are called "flame effect string lights". The only thing about these lights that can be accurately described as "flame" related, is the fact that the lights gently "flicker". The flicker effect is created with lines of LED lights sequentially turning on and off on a relatively short stem. At a relatively short distance, the lines of LED lights can be clearly observed sequentially turning on/off -which looks nothing remotely like a "flame". Details in the appearance of the Hampton Bay Flame Effect string lights is disappointing but only if you compare the LED bulbs to the incandescent flicker flame bulbs. Overall, this is a very nice, quality light string and I recommend them for pleasant ambiance lighting decorating needs.

I have never been disappointed with Hampton Bay products. And these string lights are no exception. The flame effect is awesome at night (lights are blurry with night pictures so the attached pictures were taken during the day). There are six LED bulbs on a 12 foot string but you can add other strings if desired. They can be used indoors or outdoors. I love them in my patio. The cord is heavy duty and the bulbs are shatter proof. They supply an extra bulb also.
