UPDATE May 2022: I ordered a third set recently and discovered that the string and bulbs are both an entirely new product. As a result the bulbs are not interchangeable between the new and old strings. The two 25ft strings I previously ordered have little AC-to-DC inverter chips in each bulb, so you could theoretically replace the bulbs with a normal g40 incandescent or any similar LED bulb. The new product has a single inverter box at the beginning of the string to push DC to all of the bulbs on the string. So these new bulbs can only be used in a string or socket that is getting DC or they'll immediately burn out. New set also arrived with a few dead bulbs, so I reached out for support and was sent an entirely new strand as the $9.99/4-pack replacement bulbs are in short supply.
Long story short, these lights still look great despite a recent major product design revision. New bulbs need DC from the socket, so not interchangeable with previous version of product. Short term product support from seller has been great, but I do have some concerns about availability and price of replacement bulbs and long-term product support.
Original Review Nov 2020: Nice set of lights. First set I ordered almost a year ago have held up well, so I ordered a second set.
