I love this lamp so much I gave it as a wedding anniversary gift to our neighbors. We all enjoy their fire pit which is a good size, with chairs and a dining table but without good light. These bulbs have been the best solution. I was also very impressed by the expert packaging Each bulb was individually wrapped with bubble wrap and boxed so nothing was damaged. The setup was pretty quick and we can actually read under them! We also dont worry about the bulbs being near the leaves because they never get hot. The male and female stringing is wonderful so you can string multiple ones together. We just love these! They could be used in so many ways-outdoor dining for restaurants, parties or weddings, they are just amazing. I wish I could give this more than 5 stars. I recommend these to everyone.
