I needed a small amount of lights (just about 8 to 10 feet) and this line was perfect! The quality of this manufacturer, over all, is amazing for this price! These are commercial lines of bulbs. The line, and sockets are covered in a thick rubber. These *are not* Year End Holiday lights, or the typical thin corded hanging lights. They are highly durable! The bulbs came each wrapped and package in a foam lining which maintained them during shipping. Not one was broken! These were well worth the time it took to be received, as well as the price. I opted for the regular 7-10 day shipping. They arrived in about 7 days. I love them!
