These are great lights, but seem a little smaller than advertised. I'm 5'6", taller than my front bushes, and these don't seem to fit from top to bottom. They do stretch pretty well, but reach nowhere near the bottom of my bushes. I come from a Christmas-crazed family, so I start putting lights out while it's still warm - and was upset to see how small the lights actually were. I might look for an alternate use for these, and look for a larger set for the front.I put these on the inside of all my windows since I'm retired and don't like going on 2nd story to hang lights anymore. Lights up the room inside the house and out.These are standard quality net lights which usually retail around seven dollars in the big box stores. I was not able to find any solid color lights this year locally so purchased them from Amazon. Only complaint is they are a bit pricey. But, supply and demand is what it is.I was glad I was able to get some green lights for my shrubs. The netting I had been using is still good, but one went bad. I don't particularly care for this brand because some of the lights fall out of the sockets while putting the netting on the shrubs. This makes it hard to find in green foliage. Thank heavens for the spare lights included or I would have to trash since sockets not compatible with old ones.I sent it to my brother-in-law who was very pleased with the gift. Since green net lights are difficult to find I was glad to find what he had requested.I do not recommend purchasing anything from this seller. I purchased 3 sets of net lights for the holidays. One set was defective and I notified Amazon of the issue. The seller stated that they would replace the defective set. This issue took place mid December. It is now the beginning of February and I have not received the replacement set as promised. The original replacement set should have arrived in time for the holidays, but did not. Due to the promised replacement of a defective purchase, that was not received, I warn other consumers of purchasing any other product from this seller.Thank you.These lights are hard to find in stores. Got the from Amazon with no problems. They worked great and looked great Had them up from Thanksgiving to New Years. They were rained on a few times and kept on working. Bought three sets of these along with three sets of red lights. They looked really good.These are great if you plan on using them once a year. I used them for soft lighting and they stopped working after 3 months.
