The Amazon description reads: “Our outside string lights use high light transmittance LED bulbs to replace traditional tungsten bulbs. Drop-resistant and wear-resistant plastic bulbs instead of fragile glass bulbs.”

It adds that the IP65 grade waterproof design “makes it perfect for outdoor lighting even rainy, windy, or damp climates.”

The garden lights have an overall rating of 4.2 stars, having racked up many rave reviews from keen shoppers. Among them, one person said: “I have had these festoon lights hanging for over a year in all weathers and they have stood the test of time. No signs of water inside the bulbs.

“They create a really nice warm glow. The bulbs are a great size – smaller than a lot of alternatives and more elegant. Highly recommended!”

A second shopper wrote: “Got two sets of these to go round my pagoda. They look great when lit. Plastic bulb case so they won’t break. Good weather proof fittings, been outside now for a few months in all sorts of weather and no damage.”

A third added: “Absolutely love these lights. Bought three to brighten up the garden for the summer. Give off a lovely warm bright light, have a nice rustic look to them and do exactly what they’re supposed to do!”

Another impressed shopper said: “Fantastic outdoor lights. Wow these lights are amazingly good quality. Really high calibre cabling and fixtures. Lovely shaped bulbs and the brightness is absolutely brilliant – especially in these cold winter months. 100ft is perfect to easily fit nicely around the border of my back garden.

“There’s a good cable length from plug to first bulb which allows you to place them where you want from the power source. They really are an exceptionally high quality set of lights – most highly recommended.”

However, not all shoppers were quite as pleased with the product. One person wrote: “The lights look great to begin with. However after a few weeks the bulbs begin to blow. They give you two spare bulbs, but now three have failed. Not good after just a few weeks of use.”

Another said: “Lights have stopped working after seven months. Nothing I can do via Amazon. I would have expect a much longer life time than this.”

Alternatively, other retailers are also stocking outdoor lights to brighten up your garden. Next has the Black 40 Warm White LED Outdoor Festoon Line Lights 9.8M for £28, while B&Q has the Noma Festoon Lights Mains-powered (plug-in & wired) Warm white 10 LED Outdoor String lights for £18. Dunelm also stocks the EGLO Partaj 16 LED Indoor Outdoor String Lights for £40.
