Very solid line cord. Would give this a five star rating but three of the ballasts did not work on one of the two light strings purchased. I will call Hampton Bay today to see if there is a quick remedy. Otherwise I will take back to Home Depot and try a new string.

BEAUTIFUL! I am extremely happy with this product. It is a well-made, quality product! I was so impressed with the weight of these heavy duty lights. I'll be ordering a couple more sets and I've recommended the product to my daughter for her back yard!

This Hampton Bay product is very competitively priced, as most String Light sets only have 15-sockets at this price point. Immediately upon unpacking, was impressed by how robust the cables and sockets are. As the lights are not tensioned tightly, no guy wire needed. Took about 10 minutes to hang with screw hooks. Comes with 36 bulbs. Everyone who has seen them love these lights. Expect they will get lots of use. Photo attached.

Easy to hang, all the bulbs worked...though we had to go through and tighten up ones that originally weren't lighting up. Lots of extra bulbs included which was a bonus. During a recent storm the line hardly even blew in the wind, they are very durable and heavy duty. I have had Christmas 'twinkle lights' for years on my back deck, but these lights are definitely levels above those! Highly recommend!!

I bought 3 boxes of these lights. I absolutely love the feel of my yard with these lights. I had mine professionally installed, stringing them up with a cable for support, there will be no drooping or sagging, it looks amazing.

These lights are beautiful. Materials definitely seem solid and high quality. I love that bulbs are spaced every 2 feet instead of 3 feet.

Lights were very easy to install if you pre-drill the holes. I used small screw in hooks to install the lights. I connected the lights to a smart plug so all I need to do is tell Alexa to turn on the porch lights and they come on :)

Multiple sets of strong lights did not work
Bought 3 sets of lights to hang in our backyard. Before hanging the sets, I tested the string lights using an extension cord and directly into the power outlet. They did not work. I also tried multiple bulbs on the new set, but they did not light up. I tested an older set using the outlet and the extension cord to verify power and they lit up.

Response from Feit Product ExpertOct 12, 2020
Our apologies and thank you for your feedback. Please try the following troubleshooting steps. Start by making sure to unplug the string light set from the power supply / outlet completely. Then unscrew the bulbs from the individual string light sockets. Then look inside each of the affected sockets for the socket tab. Then gently lift the socket tab slightly at the bottom of each socket so that the bulb can make contact properly once screwed back on. Once each socket is checked and each of the socket tabs are adjusted, screw in the bulbs tightly and securely, and then plug the string light set to the outlet to test. If this did not resolve the issue, then please feel free to give us a call at 1-866-326-2852 or send us an email to info@feit.com for further assistance. We are open Monday thru Friday, 8a-5p (PST). We are happy to help.
    DO NOT BUY
    I bought a set of this string lights put them up not one bulb lit up, took them down exchange them after having the worst customer experience ever at a Home Depot, Second set wet up same thing. On both occasion we tested it plugging it directly to an outlet and also tested it connecting them to different extension cords. Nothing worked. Yet , I was able to get some older lights to work confirming it was not the power or extension cord , this product is faulty. Waste of time. Do not Buy.

      Bought 2 strands, zero bulbs lit up on either
      I bought two strands of these and neither worked for a single second. Not one bulb on either strand lit up. These were complete waste of time and money.

        Looks great, doesn't work at all
        The look is great, but not one bulb turned on. The entire strand is dead. The bulbs will work on an interior lamp, so it isn't the bulbs. Tried 2 different outlets, that I know work and not an outlet. Tried a different light bulb in the strand- nothing. The strand itself seems totally dead. Of course, first I spent 2 hours driving, 3 hours hanging and trouble shooting and now have a useless strand hanging up that I will spend more time removing and returning. It does look nice and if it had worked I would likely be excited right now. Note- They also have metal tabs inside the receptacle that they say in the directions to bend to make sure it makes contact with the bulb. Best done before you hang it and add the lights. I didn't add the bulbs until it was hung so as not to break them. If I was to do it again I would have checked the strand works before going up and down a ladder for a strand that doesn't work. Disappointed to end up with a defective product, but I assume if you get one that works it would be great, not sure how to ensure that before leaving the store though.
