Side by Side Comparison of: LampLust vs DE vs Lokman

Love these lights! Will get them again, as well as some zip ties to make more! The light is a clear and true white with a somewhat cool cast, if you can understand where I'm coming from with this; it's as it's stated in the description. All of the lights are lit up the way they are needed, and in the plug is two lights if one of them happens (!) to go out. It's a great buy!

Made a Christmas sign using 3 24ft. strands. Very bright light looks great.

Very bright and a good warm white color make this a good selection for outdoor use. I actually used this inside an outdoor awning on a commercial building for nighttime security and it has more than enough light and looks good, too. I don't like the harsh blueish color light that a lot of current LED products have. I used a couple of these connected together along with a an inexpensive digital timer to turn it on/off at my selected times, so I saved a bundle over other lighting options. These have been burning a couple months now and show no sign of failure. I probably voided any warranty by cutting off the plug and hard wiring these into junction boxes in attempt to stay to local code, but with their low cost and ease of install, I should be OK even if I may have to replace one if some destructive jerks have the inkling to damage our building. Well made and with waterproof type connectors between the two ropes, I should see no weather related issues. Brighter than other rope light types I've seen, I studied the previous reviews and went with these.

We bought 4 sets and connected them all together to illuminate our front yard decorative cement curbing. Easy to install, lights up with a yellow glow, looks great, so far no problems!****** This review was written the week after I received these lights, now 1 year later they are all burnt out and even the replacements I ordered 3 weeks ago have burnt out. I had them on for 2-3 hours a night only half the year. The other half they are covered by snow and not visible. What a waste of $$$. Will NOT ever order these again!!!! Don't waste your $$$$$!!!!!

This lighting system is a very good product, well designed and very inexpensive. Of course you can combine strings and if you use the light at a dim setting you can add more than they say. I put these light strings inside my cabinets to replace an old system and am very pleased with the results.The light strings WILL NOT dim with a conventional wall dimmer, you need to buy the one compatible with the strings. They are quite bright, and I use them on a very low setting which I leave and don't change and I put the dimmer inside my kitchen cabinet at the back just in case I want to lighten up someday.Tip: install a plug on top of your cabinets and wire it to a switch.

Performed flawlessly for two years straight -- left outdoors all year, in harsh NY conditions. I purchased 3 sets, and 2 years later I need to replace only one. But you will need to obtain your own mounting hardware.I researched the dickens out of this item, as Amazon reviews disclose that many of these products are of poor quality. Home Depot's included 2 likely ones -- both unavailable on line, or discontinued.I needed an outdoor, electric (non-battery) LED cable rope (string) light for a large, high-floor apartment terrace. It needed to withstand high winds, and rain. It needed to provide a LOT of light, as it would be attached to the railing, but needed to light the entire terrace. I needed to connect several together, to reach the entire railing. I wanted yellowish "warm" light, and not harsh, bright-white or blue-ish "cool" light. Oh, and I needed to install it outside, framing the terrace door, before it wended its way to the terrace railing.These rope lights met my every need - and there were many. The light they emit is both beautiful and warm. It is not glaring, yet it's quite illuminating. They connected easily. Their waterproofing has proved secure, even after 2 years. They arrived quickly, from Amazon.They come with replacement fuses that are easy to overlook. You'll find them in the small plastic bag with the mounting plastic-ware. And about that mounting equipment -- it is laughably inadequate. I was installing outdoors, and required a "malleable iron pipe strap." But the weight and number of the tiny plastic hooks provided would be inadequate even for mounting indoors.But the lights are so perfect, that I've disregarded the lack of adequate mounting hardware, in this review.

Should have used these for my rope light (my review on those tells of the disaster I experienced). Didn't even thing about these when I was putting the rope light up, but next time I'll remember.

These holders are nice and sturdy. I feel they will hold the rope light well and keep it in place. I will definitely buy from this seller again and again!

I had coax cable all over my attic and wanted to get the cables organizer. I order these clips a bit bigger then I needed but in some case two cables would fit together to part of their run. This P-style clips worked great for that process and in just about a hour I had gotten rid of all the tangled cables. They are well made and are very easy to use. I got some flat head self-tapping screws to make the job fly. I had enough to take care of that job and to hang a rope light on the patio.

Served the purpose for use with the CBConcept UL 40 feet, LED Rope. They seem to have enough give and flexibility to endure for a long time and do the job. I would recommend these because they are much better for the led rope then the manufacturer's version of clips. I used these along the staircase and hall way for my grandpa and they worked great. I went to ACE Hardware and bought some #8 sheet metal screws and they seemed to work good. Make sure you use the appropriate screws depending on what material you are drilling into. Enjoy.

These clips were exactly what I needed to install my new rope lights on my new gazebo. I installed the rope lights before I installed the roof so I could screw these clamps to the top of the perimeter ledger and in that way the screws are hidden. The clamps were all uniform and I didn't have any trouble with any of them. Very satisfied with the quality.

These mounting clips work much better than the other kind where they "pinch" the rope lights between their two prongs. These seem to hold the rope lights much more securely, and are easier to install than the other kind, which has the world's smallest screws to install them with. I just used small nails instead. Buy these -- they are better

Verified PurchaseWe ordered the cool white lights. They were delivered quickly and packaged well. We used the plastic clips that came with the lights. I had to start a pilot hole with a nail and then put the screws in because our basement has paneling and it was hard to just start the screws without a starter hole. We love the lights. We love the cool white (white light) no yellow or blue tinted but white. Read the directions to make sure that when you test the light that it is extended out and not rolled up. Of course we love them NOW and we hope they hold up for us for a long time...seeing that it's in the basement and it's only on when we have company down there then it runs continuously.

These are a nice product. I have owned for about 2 weeks now and so far they work great. I am using these on my deck under the railing and they provide a nice amount of light. I would have given this product 5 stars if the cord to plug in was longer. It is only about a foot long which means you have to attach a separate extension cord or have your lights trail down to the outlet which looks ugly. Overall though, really nice product. If these hold up for a couple more weeks I will be buying another strand for the rest of my deck.

(This review applies to the warm white color, which wasn't available when I came back to write the review).I'm using these indoors, under the edge of the step down into our sunken living room. I mounted them in 1/2" plastic channel (http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B004TSI7MC?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00) to keep them perfectly straight, and they look great. I use them on a dimmer, at about 3/4 brightness most of the time. After about ten months, two sections (about 30" each) went out. I emailed the seller, and after sending them a photo, they promptly replaced them under a 12 month warranty.

Just as described. Heavy duty. Connects to extra strands with a tight seal. Some sections would not light up until I bent the strand in a certain direction.This may not apply to this brand specifically, and didn't affect my rating, but when we removed a solid white version very similar to this that had been in place for two years, sections of it went dark. It was similar to the one reviewed here, but permanent and wouldn't light up again with bending. So maybe don't expect more than a few years out of these if they are exposed to all four seasons and not moved. Probably not a problem for everyone.

My initial experience was negative. But I have to give credit to the company. After posting my dis-satisfaction with their product, they reached out to me about making an exchange of the rope. It was easy, and the new rope arrived, and so far, working great! You have to admire a company that stands behind their products, but it's even better when they can expedite a plan for service recovery.Original Post:"All I can say is that I've had these lights for about 2 months. I use them indoors above my kitchen cabinets. All was good up till about 2 weeks ago, 2/3 of the strand are out, the 3rd is on but occasionally flickers on and off. So, go to Lowes or Home Depot and buy a light rope that will work for longer than 3 months. This was a rip off."

I really liked, 2 sets out of the 10, I ordered had burnt areas throughout !!! (SEE PICTURES PLEASE)Will need free replacements soon LampLust. -M

Perfect for rope lighting Application

They are holding the rope light quite nicely.

Exactly what I needed. Made of quality materials

Its good for what I needed it for.

Great for hanging LED light cords indoors or outdoors. We installed 400' of light cords on a dock with the standard U-shaped clips but most broke with the first freeze... these C-shaped clamps have proven much more durable.

Really fast shipping .soft white was excellent for our project highly recommend this product for any outdoor soft light setting I'm getting ready to order another roll

Bought two. One strand had a 3 ft section burned out when I plugged it in.Update - these run for 4 hours every night. No issues in the 4 months I've had them. Wife actually asked me to buy more sets to finish lighting the deck. I bought them to illuminate a section of my deck that sees a lot of traffic but is extremely dark. These give off the perfect amount of light. Not too bright, not too dim.

At first I was excited - it was exactly what I thought I was buying. A couple of days later, there is on section of the rope that went dead. Since thisis so bright , I didn't return it and hid the "out" part around a pot and still provides more than enough light. For safety and beauty it works for me.

Beware, "warm white" is the new "brilliant sparkle shine". These are really bright LEDs...

Purchased this last string to replace a string that was about a year old. The old string had failed, and would not feed power to the two other strings attached. Examined it and found a burnt spot where the power ended. New string is the same as the old, EXCEPT, an module has been inserted in the power cord, I think to remove the 60 cycle flicker. Problem is my old strings would not light with this string feeding them. Replaced the new power cord with an old power cord and lights all came on, ( with the 60 cycle flicker).When the next cord goes out, I will not replace with this product.

The clips that come with each strand are extremely weak and not convenient to use, I recommend using the clips to hold down the provided zip-ties. The section that plugs into the wall has an enormous plug (to house the fuse) and an additional rectangular box thing. I ordered two of the same "Warm White" color and one strand definitely seems much more like "Pure White". When I connected the two strands the second one only lit up 2/3's of the way and I had to wiggle it around quite a bit to get it to become fully illuminated. However all that aside, they are quite bright and much more attractive than traditional string style Christmas lights.

These give off a harsh blue white light with obvious flicker that is annoying. Not suitable for residential use.

Picture shows that they are metal when in fact they are plastic. My bad....I didn't read the description closely....went by the picture.

dont care much for these mounting clips they are to large for most solar rope lights

These are fine. Cheap plastic, but they hold the lights.

It works as described. I have to give it three stars bz it took a lot longer on delivery than I would have expected for a bag of inexpensive clip mounts.

Flimsy plastic but they will do for now.

Product not what expected. Plastic. Looked like metal. material not posted in description. Gave 3 stars for being made in the USA

too small for the rope light that I ordered with them...ended up not using.

Thin. Broke a bunch of them. Have up and used wire.

Rope lights are a cream color.Wanted the bright white color, also they are to long (48')...Will return rope lights & clips...

They are not really that durable or strong.

Cheap

These clips are not good. Although the photo makes the clips look like rubber/plastic covered metal, they are flimsy plastic. I would never purchase such an inferior product. Don't make the same mistake I did!

I am highly disappointed in this product. I have never written a review, but felt I needed to share and hopefully save someone else from making the mistake of purchasing these rope lights. Within a month of having these lights, about a foot section on one of the strands went out. Over the course of a few months, more sections of both strands purchased began to black out. I've had these lights for less than a year and have had to replace them completely. Disappointing for a product that is a bit on the more expensive side. Just purchased a much cheaper set at Walmart and even if they only last the same amount of time, I spent less than half the price for 3 strands than I did on 2 strands of these rope lights. So not worth the price!

Old lights on sunporch burned out so this was a replacement. I wanted something a bit longer and the clear bright white instead of the warm white. Got exactly what I wanted, looks great.I have had these lights just 4 months and a quarter of the rope has burnt out. Very disappointed in quality.

This is the second time I have purchased this item and it fails after a short time. The latest purchase lasted less than a week. Significant portions of the rope light do not light up after less than a week!

These LED rope lights are great. Vibrant colors, not to bright and they fit my awning track perfectly. Love themRevised reviewAfter only 3 times using these rope lights there is a two ft section that is not lit. This was supposed to be the best of the best rope lights. Love the quality of the light output. Not to bright. But this has happened to every rope light I have owned. Not impressed with the "quality"These are well protected under the awning and carefully stored.

This is a very poorly made rope light and it's not safe to use unattended. Ours has a problem as the last five feet light only when jiggled. If you don't touch it the entire thing will stay lit, with some sections brighter than others. After consulting with an electrical engineer this product was given the tentative okay. It looks like the rope was joined in the middle by a new plastic roll when the last one ended, leaving a rough patch and the inner LED pattern changes at this point. I'll be unplugging it when I'm not in the room. This product also gave my spouse a nasty shock as he examined it. The light is more warm then blue. Not unattractive, just a warm color. I would return this but my friend wants to slice it open and make something else with it's parts.

Terrible flashing and bright white not soft at all! Returned!

Very cheep,very thin plastic. Do not think it will last a season. Best to go to Home Depot and get the same but much better thicker product in the electrical section of the store for the same price.

Not as pictured. They are much cheaper plastic, do not wrap all the way around the rope light. They leave a gap of about a 1/4 inch. But something better. I wouldn't even want these for a $1.00

These are very thin and cheap. 5 of them broke while placing on 1/2" rope lights; No excessive force or stretching was used. Save your money and buy a better quality.

These are not quality P clips. They are certainly cheap, but not well made. Thin and of questionable material. There better ones to be found on Amazon. See the ones made by Gardner Bender. Those are much better.

Cheap

You cannot make them tight on the lights they just slide back and forth. If you want your lights tight then don't use these
