FOOMAN
FOOMAN ST38 String Lights
Best value — The most warm light per dollar here: 50 feet of shatterproof ST38 Edison bulbs, ETL safety-certified, dimmable and connectable, on a clean owner base — for budget money. A lesser-known brand, but a real, safety-listed value string rather than the cheapest globe set.
