Outdoor String Lights
1
I purchased a box of outdoor string lights for the front porch on April 15, 2021, from one of our Walmart stores in the garden dept. When I returned home, I took the product out of the box and laid them out on the bed to get them ready to hang on the porch banister. I wanted to plug them in first to ensure that all the bulbs worked. They did, however, after I unplugged them one bulb popped and broke into little pieces. Since there were two extra bulbs included in the box, I was able to replace the broken bulb. On the second day, after only running them for 2 hours, 1 bulb burned out. I've already used up both extra bulbs provided, and I've only had them for 2 days. The next day, yet another bulb burned out. I replaced that one with one that was hanging down from the banister next to the outlet. I figured that one wasn't necessary and wasn't as visible as across the banister. I'm extremely disappointed with this product. I've hung string lights on our porch in the past, and the lights will usually last 2-3 years. This product last 2-3 days. I have purchased other Better Homes & Garden products from Walmart and have been satisfied, but after this experience I will not be purchasing anything in the future.
