I needed more blue than white lights, these were too bright.

Light is very bright beautiful

We used this on our house for the holidays and they held up great. The only issue I saw was that the blue started to fade after a few weeks and therefore, some of the lighting was just clear in spots. It didn't deter too much from the overall effect but they shouldn't have faded like that. Please note, I live in FL and not in a cold climate during the holidays. I'm sure the sunshine had something to do with the fading. But, the lights remained lit, not even one burned out and I bought a few strings of these.
