I wanted to DIY a lighted fall garland this year and decided to use orange lights. I couldn't believe how hard it was to find lights that plug into the wall (not battery-powered, and not USB powered) and were also LED (so many incandescent lights still out there!). These fit the bill, and although I was hesitant about using brizled lights, these worked out nicely. I love the quantity of lights for the length of the wire, the clear wire insulation (blends in with my garland), and the easy string-to-string connection.The only downside is that IRL, the orange looks ever so slightly pinkish. I would have rather had it redder than pinker, but because I wrapped these lights into a garland of large fall leaves, they help to balance out the color.It will not stay on the setting I set it to. Example: I want to use it to light up my sunroom at night. I set it on a timer to come on at a certain time each night. I set it to “Steady On”. When it initially comes on each night, the factory default is to cycle through ALL 8 functions. (Combination blink, wave, sequential, slow glow, chasing, slow fade, twinkle and steady on) So I have to change it back to “Steady On” each night. When using as Christmas lights, every time you plug them in or flip a switch to turn them on, you have to change it to the function you want. Otherwise it runs through all 8 functions over and over. This may be fine for some people, but it bugs me. The light is cool white as advertised. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would rank the brightness as 7.5, which is what I expected. The lights are small (fairy lights), but there are 200, so it’s adequate for a medium-sized Christmas tree. The cord is clear, so it would be great on a white Christmas tree or anywhere you would need to hide the cord. (Not good on a green tree.) If the default wouldn’t cycle through all 8 functions instead of where you set it, I would probably give 5 stars. I was tempted to give 3 stars, but I realize that some people may like the default function.Bought it as a gift and was used indoor but she loved it!I love these lightsI LOVE this product! I bought 3 for our new condo, (as I was having adult children and a grandchild over for the holidays), without the space for a full-size tree. We draped them over windows and around the small living room walls/hanging pictures, which transformed the space! I love the clear cover to the wires! Blends in really well! However, I only needed one string of lights, so I gave the other two boxes to Millennials who raved about them… I especially love the warm white color! Item exactly as described.Lo practicoI used them in my business and I like the way they look in the display window. What I’m not crazy about itS that they come programmed to go through all the light choices and when I tried to get them to just one it was impossible. There are not directions and common sense doesn’t help.I have identical fro ladt year purchase 2 more this year . Great quality. Using it for Christmas tree , and outdoor for decoration. This year I found out the option change the lighting intervals. It is look like flickering it is beautiful. It is small button on the plug.
