Looking for recommendations on what outdoor Christmas lights last more than one year?

Tried buying GE led strands last year and they only had about a 30% success rate in surviving. I understand I can try to check what bulb is burnt out but the led unit is recessed so far that it would take a tool to remove. I’m too frustrated to try in the moment after how expensive they were.

I have a couple hundred HLO C9 leds year round 5 years now. Haven’t lost 1 yet. I did have a socket go bad once. I don’t see the strings I used available any more though. They were heavy white cable 100’ long commercial

Take a look at OptiCore. Seems pretty reliable. Bright. Can replace individual bulbs. Variety of colors, etc.

Thanks! Took a look into these and they seem to be what I’m looking for.

I will never buy GE lights again. When we first got our house I bought about 8-9 strands and within 2 years of replacing bulbs they were all done.

I researched and found another brand (it was more money) and bought those and going on 3 years now without a single one going out.
