The second strand didn't work.Nice color and beautiful value for the moneyLights are very small but bright. From add it seems like the length of the string would be longer. It ended up to be about 19.5'. I had to order a second set. If I new that I would of looked at other choices for the money that where longer in length.What?! There was a remote control for these? Next they'll say there was someone to come and put them up for me. These are a kinda cool blue color that I ?. I keep them up year round in the most frozen tundra in U.S. and they're are still kickingModes fairly easy to use and timed feature is good IF you only want them on one time a day. Biggest downside was untangling to put up, would have been a nightmare for one personThese are seriously so bright and amazing, especially for how cheap they are!! You get twice the lights compared to most stores and for half the price. They are seriously so bright and have several different settings. I absolutely love them. Cannot recommend enough.The lights look awesome! Bought the clear white, and they are very bright. The timer on the plug has worked so far. The drops are nice and long, but they do tend to get tangled with each other when it’s windy, but that’s to be expected. What I DONT like: the warning tag on the lights say “these are temporary lights, 90 days only” !! That wasn’t listed anywhere else! Maybe all Christmas lights are like that... but it would have been nice to know before I bought them and not hidden on some obscure tag. So I’m feeling highly doubtful if they’ll last more than one season. Pretty dang expensive for “temporary” lights if that’s the case. I’m very disappointed in that fact, but I’ve already committed to putting them up and I’m not taking them down to return them.These lights look great. The only downside is how they are packed. It took me at least an hour to untangle the lights before putting them up. To the manufacturer, maybe you can find a better way to package them for shipping. ThanksI love the lights. I have wanted them for a long time but always thought they were too expensive. These were very reasonably priced and I enjoy watching them twinkle. Thank you so much.I love these lights; I rated a 5 * for brightness not because they are very bright - they are just right...I use only one function which is quite subtle - very elegant. Easy to install and they are connected to an outlet powered by a timer.First off, they are not water proof. They are crimped on LEDs. No water sealing for LEDs. Also, installed for only one night and one is already dead. I spent all day installing now I have to uninstall and return it. Not impressedLight strands are close together and have 3 lengths making them look like icicles
