I’ve been using these lights for a little while now and, overall, I’m pleased with them.
The 15m length is about right for most patios or garden spaces, and the warm white LEDs actually sit somewhere between a true warm white and a cooler white, giving a neutral colour temperature that I quite like.
The G50 bulbs are noticeably larger than those on many similar festoon light sets, which gives them a more substantial appearance. The cable is also very flexible, making installation much easier than with stiffer alternatives.
It’s a nice touch that the pack includes two spare bulbs, and the lights are fitted with an extendable connector so you can join multiple sets together if needed.
The only issue I encountered was that my set was missing the protective terminating cap. As these are mains-powered lights, that cap is important for maintaining the weatherproof seal on the unused connector. Without it, I wouldn’t be comfortable leaving them outdoors in typical British weather. Fortunately, I had a spare cap from another set, so it wasn’t a problem for me, but it is something worth checking when your order arrives.
Because of the current heatwave, I haven’t had the opportunity to test them in wet conditions. However, they appear to be well made and of good overall quality, so aside from the missing cap, I have no immediate concerns.
Overall, these are good-quality festoon lights with flexible cabling, larger bulbs and the added convenience of connectable sets. I’d happily recommend them, provided all the supplied weatherproof caps are included.
