These LED filament bulbs and wire are substantial and are more than expected.The wire is the thickness of an outdoor 14 gauge extension cord and the bulbs match. No fairy lights here. The weight of the container had me concerned the string would stay in place with my usual method of hanging lightweight light strings because this is not a string of ounces, its pounds.I used and hung them with small self adhesive cable clips and thin 6 inch zip ties on the veranda. They are still in place thanks to 3M adhesive on the clips. If the weather would turn a bit warmer then the wire will relax and hang like a hammock and for now the bulbs hang at angles as if affected by a breeze.Overall, having the lighted wire in addition to the replaceable bulbs is very pleasing to view.
