The string was pretty short. But these added a unique element to my large Christmas display. I got them to look like curly swirly gumdrops. Close enough.They are smallerthan me and my wife anticipated, but are still cute in our front garden area.Wish for a few more inches between.each light and an option to have each light blink instead of whole string at once.Brighter than I figured. Assembles easily. Bought them for outdoors for an Alice in Wonderland themed Halloween party~ they’re cute and bright enough that I am keeping them up.Beautiful colors .makes your garden looking magical avatar would styleDon’t be bamboozled by the size. These things are microscopic! I ended up using as string lights. These do not look like the images they show on this site! They are maybe 2 inches wide by 2 inches tall. Spikes look like toothpicks! I wanted to use as a border around yard, but you wouldn’t be able to see them!!! Buyer beware!My wanted this for her flower garden and they were not what she expected. They do not hold their charge very long and they are not as bright as she thought they would be.Really nice n cute
