I actually have four of these lights, my brother bought them from Temu a few months ago and they've held up shockingly well. Even some heavy rainstorms here in FL weren't enough to take them out.
Same here. I'm in Florida and I just replaced my Amazon ones with Temu. The Amazon ones didn't last two days. Not at all what I expected. I just bought blinking string lights from Temu also. I haven't put them up yet.
I've had a set from Temu for about three months. They have been fine, and last all night. They are fiddly to get looking the way you want, but creative types can do some neat things with them.
I see this as being more useful as accents to bigger Christmas displays than I do as "fireworks" lights. They look GOOFY in the day, but at night the Temu didn't look bad at all.
Huh, I got what seems to be that first set of lights a while back. They survived a pretty intense hailstorm here in Colorado, my car's a golfball now but the lights still work. All the little wires got bent down, but it only took a min to fluff them back up. They are not bright enough to light up the ground around them, but they're great for marking the edges of my driveway which is what I got them for. Cheap and works for 4+ months in some pretty extreme weather. Okay checked for sure, I got the "JJGoo Solar Garden Lights Solar Firework Lights, 2 Pack 120 LEDs 2 Lighting Modes Solar Lights Outdoor Waterproof for Garden Patio Walkway Pathway Party Wedding Decorative - Cool White" stupid SEO optimizing name, but $15 and they just work. I got the all white ones.
I have 2 of these. I love them. Even after a year they still stay lit well into the late hours. You do have to re adjust them from time to time due to weather.
So far, so good with Temu. While shipping isn't quick, everything has worked. The main thing people need to pay attention to is the *SIZE* of what they order. Odds are its gonna be smaller than what you pictured.
@@laurahubbard6906 I agree, but if my only choices for a specific product are all made in China, then I'm going to buy the least expensive Chinese-made product.
The wires feel fragile, but they hold up pretty well. I had some similar ones that were battery powered, and they were outside for two years before I gave them away. The person I gave them to said they're still working, going on three years now. The solar panel face will start to fade from the sun, but a UV-resistant clear coat paint (eg, Krylon) will renew it.
Awesome review as always James. I am kind of new to Temu, I have gotten 3 orders from them so far and only 1 item I got was junk, a drink holder for motorcycle handlebars. The rest of it, I am very impressed with, and unlike Wish and a couple others, the shipping really isn't too bad at all, 10ish days or so, Vs Wish a month to 6 weeks sometimes and you never know what you might get from Wish. 👋🤠
All of mine are from Temu. Still working 1 year later. Went through freezing rains and snow. Just bought a few more to add to my collection. My favorite solar lights I've e er bought and they have lasted the longest.
I understand liking solar lights. They usually last a few years, you get light outside that you don't have to turn any switches on for, and it's not on your electric bill.
In my limited experience, Temu is generally a step up in quality and the shipping times exponentially faster. Still mass produced product probably made overseas though.
Those things would never hold up to the wind I get daily whipping around my house. First week we moved in the wind ripped a 20 x 40 section of roof off our house... it's no joke. Sadly these kinds of things are no go's for me. But the best solar lights we've ever had were color changing ball lights from Home Depot 6 years ago, only 2 have just with time gone out. Human snafus have taken a couple out. They don't make them like that anymore. 3 of them were on flag mounts on out porch, even partially shades those babies did their job and I still have one up there, giving its colorful love almost all night long.
I have several of the 240 led ones from temu and the only complaint my wife has had has to do with the "modes". The mode after you set them stay for several days/weeks then they suddenly will change to a new mode but it is only 1 or 2 of the 8 we have in the yard. We have no kids and no one can mess with them in the backyard.
I saw you mention this on Threads and I got excited. I was considering these. Very fun. I wish there was an alternate power source, though. I'd like to put one in a dark corner of the room for fun. Thanks for the review.
If my house wasn't facing a communial gravel driveway, which are taken over by cars, I'd get these to have something to remember the 4th of July by. The trees obscure the actual fireworks show.
At first I thought he had incredible 3D still footage of fireworks that he was moving through at the beginning of this video. I definitely need to get my eyes checked or need to cut back on something! 😂🎉❤
I think both have their plus and minuses. The amazon are shorter and thus easier to hold their shape and since they are shorter that means the lights are closer together which makes them appear brighter. The temu is longer which makes them fill up a space better and they appear more billowy. I think buying a combo of both looks more accurate of a firework display as you have some booms with a wide coverage and others that are smaller with a concentrated look. All are likely made in the exact same warehouse in china lol so all will likely last about the same amount of time. I'll wait for your updated yearly review to see how they held up
The Temu ones put Amazon to shame...that said, if you didn't see the Temu ones I'm pretty sure most people would be happy with the Amazon ones... unfortunately we've now seen the Temu ones 😁
But you do understand that these are probably from the same factory and just sold on Amazon and Temu? BBuying from China doesn't mean knock-off, buying from Amazon nowadays mostly means purchasing products from China and often from chinese sellers shipping via Amazon FBA.
When the magic shrooms start becoming more legal! These products will take off! Both can grab attention in real life! Especially in the wind(as was mentioned)! 😅
I only recently heard about TEMU and have made a personal decision that I will never purchase a single thing from them - even though I do understand that so many of our products already come from China!
Temu looking way better because it looks like stars or fireworks, Amazon got lines of light going to everything. My eyes have a hard time looking at condensed led-lights and the Amazon version would drive me mad.
I paid $1.99 for 240 warm on temu, u gotta shape them better and they are very cool, but I can't figure out to get them to work dusk to dawn and have to manually turn them off and on. Any one know how??
Those of you taking the high road, I dont believe for one nano second that none of you own anything that either came from China or contain parts that have come out of China.
I’ve had the Amazon set a little over three years now and overall they’re still lasting pretty well and I get compliments all the time. That being said, I have lost one of the four due to those skinny legs just breaking in half.
This is a first for me, I've never seen these lights before in this format. I'm not a fan of Temu and won't purchase anything from them because of being China based. The ones from Amazon probably came from China also. If they feel cheaply made, they probably won't last very long. With that all being said, they are kind of pretty.
