Outdoor LED cafe' style string lights

I plan on putting a bunch of what I've always referred to as "Edison type bulb" string lights on my back porch.
I'd like them to be LED, BUT give the soft glow amber of an incandescent bulb (If that made sense).
Seemed like a pretty easy task. Google: "LED outdoor strig lights," right?
I didn't realize there were millions upon millions of options out there!
Can anyone recommend an outdoor patio string light that is LED, but doesn't glow bright white/cool blue. Something that looks more like an incandescent bulb.....
I'd really appreciate the recommendation.
Thanks in advance!

I got a set from Costco that sound exactly what you're looking for. LED, but with an Edison look. About $50 a set.

I picked up a strand of Honeywell commercial grade lights from Amazon. They are LED but shaped like Edison bulbs. The version I bought allowed you to change color by remote, but those seem to be universally sold out right now. They still have plain warm white ones.

I just went through the same thing. I wanted something warm, durable, and looked intentional (not like we left Christmas lights up year-round). I had a hard time finding LED string lights with replaceable bulbs. For how much nice light strands cost I couldn't bear the thought of a having to replace the whole thing if one light went out. Ended up with incandescent and we love them. And, if we decide to replace with LED bulbs in the future it's an option.

Was at Costco yesterday and these were by the front door with an instant $10 off coupon for $39.99

Just got my set in from Amazon yesterday. 2 48’ strands of LED Edison look bulbs with spares, outdoor service. Didn’t want color so the soft white worked.

What brand? Do you like them?

Honeywell string lights
The only negative I can see for these is that the bulbs are not replaceable. So, if one goes out, that's 48' that has to be replaced....

I got some at Home Depot.com that are indestructible AND you can change colors. I’ve had tons of people stop and ask where I got them. They were expensive but I highly recommend them.

They are replaceable.

The Costco lights have served us well, going on a couple of years. One string fit perfectly around our back porch and provide a good bit of soft light. We have them plugged into a smart outdoor plug and control them with Alexa.

Costco lights are good. Whatever brand you go with - get shatter proof bulbs! Cant tell you how many I've broke changing them out over the years and have glass everywhere.
Hung couple hundred feet of shatterproof bulbs before Delta off of a tree and the tree fell - not a single broken bulb!
