Side by Side Comparison of: Holiday Wonderland vs Noma/Inliten

Awesome lights :) just the right amount of length! Would buy again!

My husband and I love hanging white Christmas lights around our house to give it a warm and homey feeling. We went to every store around our area and search for lights (out of season) and could never find any, and if we did they were pricey. We have been so happy with these light and have ordered multiple times. We hang them up and connect up to three strands together, and we leave them on 24/7. They last such a long time. We only have to change or fix light bulbs or a whole strand maybe every six months - for the price, it's perfect.

Came fast and they look great! I usually double up on my light strands for my cubbies but these were bright enough that just one did the trick.

They work and look just as expected! Nice and cheap lights for my tree. This was enough to cover my 3 foot tree. You would probably need multiple strands for a bigger tree. You will also need an extension chord if you want to run them away from an outlet because the lights go right up to the plug.

I love these lights to death. I bought my first box last year for my college dorm room, and have used them ever since. I have found that they make great lighting at night--they make the room dim enough for your roommate to go to bed but are still bright enough to give you more than enough lighting to stay up and get your homework done. They lasted me the entire year, and probably would have lasted all this year as well. Sadly, I left them in a storage unit over the summer and didn't pack them up well enough, causing several lights to shatter. That, however, was my own fault. I'm buying two new boxes for this year to replace the ones I used last year. :-)

Great lights! Wish the description included the length of the strands (24.75 feet). Looking to line the backyard fence for a summer party....had to order one just to see what the length of the starnd actually is.Now can order more.

These worked perfectly and made my christmas tree look so festive and cheerful! It was a shame to have to put them away.

Perfect, long string of lights, as expected.

christmas lights are christmas lights. They work

They're just like the ones we used to have! Old school. I don't like the super bright new lights that have been out for a few years, so I'm very happy to have found these. They are easy on the eyes. Very pretty.

this is a lot of lights and I'll probably be getting more this year when you wrap these around whatever you're wrapping you've got lots of light, excellent!

100% satisfied. I use these lights as night lights for me and my daughters room and these were the perfect size. Arrived on time, non broken and a really good size for the money

have these to help light up my room cause its dark af in here. one of my strings died so i bought these to replace them. have had them for 4 months and there's only 2 dead bulbs. keep in mind i have these lights on a lot because im an extreme night owl and i never leave my room.edit: so i got these in sept of 2016, its now feb 20th 2017 and half the lights just went out, so they lasted almost 6 months, not bad but im going to buy a different brand now to see if they do any better. my room is very dark now while i wait for my new lights lol

Easy to apply. It's a 2*50 lights. Got it for one week. So far so good.

These lights are perfect for routing along the top of my backyard fence. I only power them up once in a while during parties or when we have company in the evenings, but they do work well and I have not had a problem with them. I bought the brown color wire so they would blend with the fence and background.

I got these lights for my bedroom and I pinned them on the walls for decoration and extra light. I have had them for almost a year now and haven't had any problems yet. I have had to change out two light bulbs that stopped working but they probably were damaged from when I moved. My only complaint is that if the glass breaks off, it is really hard to pull out the rest of the bulb in order to change it out. I just left it in because I ended up cutting myself from the wire that goes inside the glass but you can't even tell one bulb is out unless you are really staring at the lights. They also do get a little warm after being on for awhile. It is fine for me, since I use them on my walls, but I'm not sure if I would be too comfortable putting them on any fabric or even a tree.

I use them as night lights on my stair case for my mom and dog who can't see well in the dark. They are just enough to gently eluminate the 13 steps but wouldn't replace a 40 watt bulb (I'll guess half that bright). The string went down the steps once and up once with a little left over to make a touch brighter at the top. All the lights worked in both boxes I purchased.Why only 4 stars? 'cause they were too expensive at over $8 a box.They also have a standard plug at the end to plug in aother set of lights.

We ordered this item in June because it has always been a dream of mine to cover our huge Mimosa trees in white lights to create a spectacular and romantic backyard escape. We had been collecting these lights for over two years to finally get the over 4000 we needed to cover our trees. Once applying the lights we found we were several boxes short and wanting this beautiful scene in time for my birthday we ordered the remaining boxes needed from this company. The lights were beautiful and arrived in a timely manner but I think charging $9.99 per box is a bit much and takes advantage of the consumer who may need mini lights at out-of-season times of the year.

nice

Short and they worked fine but you can get longer strings for the same money.

works really well on an outside tree.

Held up well this season. I'll see if it stores well and lights up next year.

There is not much to say about this product. They are Christmas lights. They are nice and bright and they worked. They come with replacement bulbs and Flasher bulb.

They are okay, nice colors and bright, the box says 300 lights and I thought I was getting one strand with 300 lights, but there are two strands with 150 lights each which turned out great for me.

They last about 3-4 months outdoors. Though they're very pretty, they're cheap, and when one bulb goes out, the whole string goes out so you can't tell which one needs to be replaced. Still, I replace them every 4 months or so, because even the more expensive ones are poorly made, too.

Love these lights but they don't last long. Often half the strand burns out.

Average lights but a lot of them were out when I received it. I bought 3 boxes and between the 3 boxes over 20 lights were burnt out the first time I plunge fit in. Each pack comes with a few replacement lights but I did not have anywhere close to enough to replace all of the ones out. Luckily, the strand still worked with a few out here and there. I would not buy them again for this reason but they got the job done this holiday season and were priced well.

Works just like expected, but would have prefered white cord since it's only to light up my porch year-round due to insufficient lighting. Also, it only turns on when you plug it in or turn off the fuse on the circuit breaker, which it what I've been doing because I don't want to leave it on all night and I don't want to unplug it when it's dark. I'm just being a little picky; it's probably fine for a tree, but I choose not to have one.

Fresh out of the box, all the lights were lit well when the strand was plugged in. After testing them, I wrapped the lights around the Christmas tree. By the time the lights were on the tree, half the bulbs were no longer lighting. Since they were replacement lights for the bottom the tree, we just explained it away and kept the lights on (with the very bottom of the tree not lit). Next Christmas season we are going to switch to a strand of LED lights for enhanced resilience. Rating this product 3 stars because the batch received may have been bad, however cannot rate it higher since half of the lights burned out in the first hour out of the box.

I expected since I paid a low price that I probably wouldn't get the best quality.. When I took them out of the box, the first thing I noticed was how loose and messy they looked. Oh! Because the strands are hardly twisted!! Its a three piece strand. Two of the strands seem to be twisted alright in most spots (not all) but the third is so loose it catches branches while trying to put them on the tree. Its just a mess! They work fine and of course look beautiful once on the tree but I would say get a better set. Its worth it...Also, I would say I have a medium size tree. For this size two strands is for sure needed. I would say only a mini tree or getting these for another use would allow you to only buy one.

While they are really nice string lights and are longer than regular size lights I already have, the package did only come with one strand as opposed to two like it said. And like I paid for. Giving it three stars because they work and match my other sets.

These had to go back, one of the sets did not work. Got a full refund.

as ecpected.

These lights are hit and miss. I ordered two boxes and after the third night half of the lights stopped working. I tried replacing every bulb with a new one but nothing worked. I ordered another set and before i took them out of the box i tested them and again half the lights did not turn on. It was easy to return and the ones that did not work I am happy with.

These are nice bright lights that look good on the tree. When they arrived, I plugged the sets in to make sure they lit up and put them away until I was going to use them. When we got them out and put them on the tree, part of one strand kept going out. It apparently is a loose wire and we are able to twist the strand to get the lights to stay on and lock the wires into place so they have stayed lit for this year. They are obviously not built for the long haul.

The box comes with two strands of 150 lights each. I had hoped the string lights were independant, as in one bulb burned out but all others stay on. This is not the case with this product. Each 150 bulb strand is broken up into three 50 bulb sections. So if one bulb burns out only one 50 bulb section will not light. This also means each strand requires three flasher bulbs to make all 150 lights blink.you must replace the first bulb in the strand closest to the end that plugs into the outlet, go down the strand till you get to the first non-blinkink bulb, bulb 51, and replace it. Repeat to bulb 101. You will then have a full 150 bulb string that blinks in three independant sections.Attach the second 150 bulb strand with flashers installed and you will have a 300 bulb light strand that has six independant flashing sections.

As other reviews have stated, they tend to go half hour fairly quickly.

The shipping was fast! The lights are used everyday in my sons room. I ordered them on May 7th and by July 10th half the string is burnt out =(

I used these for 'year round' decoration inside a canister. They died after 4 months with no warning at all- no dimming or blinking as one of the other customers suggested. I will not buy them again.

One of these strands has worked well for about 4 months with no issues. However, the other strand's electrical box that plugs into the outlet has fallen apart, resulting in one of the electrical tongs falling out of the product. This has not came from improper of heavy use, either. I have never seen this happen and am disappointed in this product, because now one of my strands is not able to be used.

These lights didn't even last for a full year.

One string went out after being up only 2 weeks. These little light strings are notorious for failing due to ONE lite that is impossible to find. Going with another type of light for my outdoors in future.

Many of the lights did not work

I got these and put them up within an hour of opening, half a strand isn't working, and this is the first time I've used it. The only reason I am not doing a return is because the amount of time it took to decorate the tree greatly out weighs the benefit of taking them back down, reboxing them and shipping them back.

For the amount I paid, I would have liked them to work. Half of the lights don't work on one of the strands.

The lights are good, and pretty reliable except for the flasher/twinkler bulbs. You get the exact amount of red tip flasher bulbs you need, one for each 50 light section, but I have had two fail completely and one is on the way out (works intermittently if you fiddle with it). These 2.5 volt bulb flashers are pretty much impossible to find anywhere. You'll need to buy a whole new string with flashers cheap at home depot or on sale or at a dollar store to get replacement flashers. It also contains some extra all white bulbs that don't even work in the sockets, but the other regular colored bulb spares do work.In retrospect I regret buying traditional mini light incandescent lights. If you don't need twinkling lights these are fine. Otherwise, get a completely different kind of light set.

I was not happy that right out of the box the lights did not work. I bought many of these and only one box had no issues. All the rest either did not work or had a short that once cord was moved would make the lights go off. So instead of finding the short I tossed them out. Not worth the risk to my family having something plugged in that could cause a danger to them or my house.

I bought 3 of these 300-count packs about 1.5 years ago. They worked well for about the first year or so, but now the lack of quality is beginning to show. In the past few months, 2 of the 3 packs are now unusable; entire sections have gone out and I can't figure out how to fix it. I guess it's only a matter of time before the final one dies.

Used around my bedroom, but the lights started blowing out within a few months of purchasing. Replaced the single blown out lights, but then the whole string blew out and there are smoke/burn marks by each little light. Not worth the safety concerns I now have about this product. Lights would only be on for about 20-30 minutes a night about every other night.

These would have been amazing, but 1/4 of the strand doesn't light up after only being used for an hour. I already have them wound into a back yard lighting situation in one of my trees, so I can't return them without undoing the ENTIRE batch of lights that I have on the tree, so I suppose I just have to deal with it.

The light sockets don't properly make reliable connections with the lights, causing unwanted flickering whenever the lights move. Half the string almost never lights up because of this issue. I've tried all the replacement bulbs in the offending sockets (both the regular and flashing ones), but they either don't work at all or just have the same issue, leading me to believe these strings are simply poorly constructed.

Time was short just before the holidays and I bought five of these strands because most stores were already out. Two of the strands had the problem that many reviewers mentioned, the lights went on momentarily and then half of the strand went dark. A careful examination showed the wire connections to the lights to be iffy. Evidently straightening the strands out pulls any weak connection between the lights and the wires loose. I managed to push one loose wire back in to its light and that got it going again, but I wouldn't use it because it could be a safety hazard.Three light strands did work properly, but I would suggest that people look elsewhere because you can't be certain what strand will work. Or if it will keep working.

Since these lights came in plain white cardboard boxes there is no way to tell if they are what was ordered or not. Amazon has indicated any dissatisfaction should be directed toward the manufacturer, (these are imported). Amazon does not stand behind this product. (Don't know why they offer it on their site). These lights are dim and are not bright at all. They burn out quickly. I should have returned them immediately. May be old stock!

Delivered on Tuesday January 8, 2013 - some went dead last week - all went dead last night (Sunaday, February 10, 2013). Differnt lights I got in Costco lasted almost two years

Defective and got my money back.

Ordered two boxes of lights, they arrived on time and ready for Christmas. I wrapped 3/4 of them around the tree and switched them on.One by one each string of lights went out and within 15 minutes every single bulb was dark.Absolute disgrace and a joke of a product.Total waste of my money and now I need to go and find decent (working!!) lights locally, 2 weeks before Christmas.DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT.

I should read whole reviews. I needed lights for tree, these had good star ratings and arrived quickly. Came in one box, 2 sets. One set 3 bunches tied together. As I was puting first set up they became a little warm, I didn't like that, and then while placing on tree the 3rd bunch of light went out. Returning. Too much money for lights that won't stay on.

These are about the worst lights I have ever bought. I have had to change 5 "blinker" bulbs out already, with less than 2 hours on time. They seem to be ok, if you do not want them to blink. Bought them only because my daughter wanted multi-color lights this year, so not sure if I will be returning them or finding other lights to use.

Arrived OK. Hung up 1 of the 2 strands today and straight away half of them do not work. It's a section of the strand that is out completely. Completely frustrating to spend 20$ on lights that I cannot even use. Pulled out and checked every bulb that was out - all were OK. I do not recommend these... not at this price.

Even at $17 per 300, not worth it when half a strand goes out days after completing tree decorating! I bought 3 extra boxes last year so I would NOT have the frustration of pulling our my lights and have them not work. From last year, 1 went out while on the tree, 2 had only half-strand working after taking them out of storage, and two more fresh out of the box had only half-strands working. Something seriously defective about the design. Buy a different brand with better ratings.
