I have the Bethlehem lights and they work fine. Every season I take out the batteries and store. When I take them out next season, I put in fresh batteries. I haven't had a problem. I do see a new brand listed H336789 LumaBase fairy lights that look interesting but no reviews.

I got the ones from hsn that were the special 2.5 years ago. Batteries lasted 5 to 6 weeks before dimmed. They looked great.

I bought mine off Amazon.....I liked them so much that I got more.

Look under fairy lights and look for the high rated ones..

@mollymaggie I have so many sets of BL fairy lights. After many years, they are working just fine. I have them on timers and take them in after the season. I put in new batteries every year and have never had a problem. Had two sets of fairy lights on a fern on a pedestal outside this summer. So pretty! Still going strong. One thing I do for my outside lights is put the battery boxes in zip lock bags. I use them indoors inside hurricanes and with garlands. I upgrade sometimes do to extended battery life.

I havn't had an issue with Bethlehem fairy lights, yet. I am now using some amber that I bought many years ago, never used them, but came across them. I also bought some amber this year here, and they are a deeper color and smaller than the older lights.
