Paired these with c7 LED bulbs from Amazon as well and shingle speed tabs and all three work great.You can leave bulbs out and rest of strand stays lit. Only has a male connector so be aware of that. You can buy a SPT female connector and place on end if you wanted to hook more than one strand together.Shipment was fast for me. Arrived in 2-3 days despite the estimated of 6 daysthey are not cheap, but if you are looking for something thats better quality than what you can find in the big-box stores, then you will be very happy with these lights.Product is not what I was expecting after ordering twice.We needed to cover a 200' perimeter and purchasing two of these 100' strings was the perfect solution instead of purchasing the average length string light sets and connecting end to end. While these would probably make for great holiday decorating, we actually use these lights at a seasonal property from April through the end of October and they have worked great for the past three years. Unfortunately one strand ripped, we are guessing it may have happened during a storm but other than that we've had no issues.Perfect! I have a few of these around my deck and yard they are great and have weathered daily use in the heat and cold for over a year!it's 100feet, you better be prepared to handle that. Make sure you put the CORRECT end up first because you'll be tearing it all down if you don't.Black looks much better than, green or brown.Good item
