Newhouse Lighting S14LED30P Outdoor Weatherproof 1W (11W Equivalent) Shatter-Resistant S14 LED Replacement String Light Bulbs, Warm White 2700K, Standard E26 Base, 30-Pack

Purchased these to replace 11W incandescent string lights to save energy and hopefully last much longer. They look really nice in person, the long LED strips look more like a traditional bulb than other LED lights, which is very important for the hanging, visible way they are being used. The light is nice and warm, which is great for a patio, but would probably be too warm for interior use. They are brighter than the older 11W bulbs but use 1/5 of the power (for 18 bulbs, this is 36W vs. 198W) so I feel less bad about leaving them on, although realistically, they will take a very long time to pay for themselves on energy savings alone (~$.004/hr vs. ~$.02/hr at $.11/kWh would need ~650 days at 4hrs daily use to break even) but if you consider the cost of replacing incandescent bulbs several times over a few years, versus hopefully never replacing these, it is worth it! They are also very dimmable, so that I can still match the brightness of the old bulbs, while using even less power, but can turn them up if I need more light. I am using a z-wave smart dimmer with them. To me it looks like they can dim much lower than the advertised 50%. Their pricing is a little annoying however, because in this pack they are quite reasonable, but I need 24 bulbs, not 18. They also sell a 3-pack, but for the price of two 3-packs I can get a another 18-pack, but I dont have any use for extra bulbs! 9/17/18 update: all of the bulbs still work after two years of near daily use outdoors. They are under a roof but still exposed to rain and snow if there is much wind. They worked great right through the winter and seem unaffected by the cold. 10/24/19 update: Everything is still working great! No bad bulbs. I think they may have actually paid for themselves by now!

I am a big fan of these bulbs but not a fan of the marketing. I give it 4 stars instead of 5 because: A.) I received a box with a broken bulb B.) There are only two (really only one if you consider the price of the small pack) buying options C.) The price fluctuates A LOT D.) You have to screw them down unexpectedly tight or they wont work at all... The weld (or lack thereof) on the bottom of the bulb is very low-profile Ive bought these bulbs twice and saved over $20 waiting on this product to come down in price. Other than the above gripes, the bulbs work wonderfully and they are quite handsome. They have an accurate (although slightly over-bright) mellow/yellow hue that has a very antique-feel. You can use a dimmer on these and that is a big plus. I would buy these again (although I wont need to with all the extras I have due to the lack of buying options :-)

They work very well

They look perfect!

Bulbs were same shape and size as my other bulbs. I tried the whole box and none of the bulbs light up.

These bulbs have lasted very well. They seem to be brighter than the regular bulbs that came with my lights. Very pleased.

Bonito diseño y de buena calidad

We use these bulbs on a string in our screen room. I’m a guy who keeps track of product claims by manufacturers. I just replaced two bulbs that I marked with a date of installation. The date they were installed was 10/29/22 and I replaced them today, 04/29/23. They are on an Alexa timer that turns them on at 7 pm and off at 10 pm. There are times that we use them longer than that but they get a daily use of 3 hours. You be the judge of whether or not that suits you.

Fits socket and same as others I purchased to replace burnt bulbs (incandescent)

Arrived with two broken bulbs inside.
