DISAPPOINTING
We bought several spheres 3 years ago and just loved them. This past year we found them on Amazon and were delighted to buy them for approximately half of what we paid for them at our local Christmas store. We put the new set up and the next night several of the balls had unlit sections. I checked the lights and was able to get all but one lighting properly. Several nights later, the same thing happened. By the time the Christmas season was over nearly every new light we had bought was not lighting properly. Sometimes it was something simply like a bulb being cracked after hitting the tree it was hanging in. Most of the time, however, it was not something simple. Here is the main problem. The lights are not wired in series,therefore, when one bulb is out, the whole section is out. You cannot easily determine which bulb is burned out or shorted. Several times I had to remove all the bulbs in the sphere and test the bulbs one by one before replacing them in the sphere. Since the sockets are so close together and the lights are not wired in any discernible series, you cannot use a conventional Christmas light tester to determine the source of the problem. We had one sphere fall prey to neighborhood vandalism and was smashed by a baseball bat or a similar object. I looked inside the sphere and not only did I find cheap wiring I could not see a pattern or series in the wiring. If you have any wind where you live, they are extremely vulnerable to damage.
I would not buy these lights again because they malfunction quite frequently and are extremely hard to fix when they do.

Christmas spheres
Excellent quality, reasonable price. Easy to work with. Couldn't go wrong buying these.

Beautiful
I purchased 4 of these to hang on my porch. Mixed with the 100 light sphere, multi-color, they looked great. The online pictures don't do them justice. They come with a long electrical cord that will allow you to string multiple ones together.
