There's just something about the look of a strand of glass globe lights that fits perfectly in the outdoor environment and creates an atmosphere that is both enviting and comforting. If that is the effect you are looking for, these are the lights you want!Not too bright, far from too dim, this product provides the optimal amount of light for an evening outside the home. The light color is warm white-yellow while the bulb themselves never get too hot to the touch, even after prolonged use.I have these installed on our home patio in New Mexico where the temperatures vary from the extremely hot to the fairly bitter cold - combined with relentless winds - and the ruggedness of these lights cannot be understated. The individual lights include built-on clips should you decide to install them that way; otherwise, they hang nicely when draped from one fixture to another.Better than any patio lamp, these lights provide a nice ambiance for any time of the year and serve as sufficient stand-alone lighting over areas where annoyingly bright light is not desired.If you are trying to spruce up your outdoor entertainment spot, definitely consider these lights. For the neighborhood entertainer, these lights are a must!
