They are beautiful and give off a lot of light, it was longer than expected too. It took forever screwing in all the light bulbs but I understand packing them separate due to them being glass.  My only reason for taking off a star is that the bulbs seem to be burning out quickly and Im not sure what to do about it. The bulbs seem unique to this product. Ive only had the strand a few months with minimal use and a handful of bulbs have already died out.
