Close knit lighting is very effective, and bright. Pulled and loosened lighting is good, but not so bright. If you're only interested in a lightly streamed set up. Unless you buy many sets more than 4, they'll do a nice job as far as strong or bright lighting.The lights are very bright. They are a lot smaller than expected. They don’t have a remote control and the lights are on a flimsy piece of wire. I bought them to go around the top of my golf cart. I hope they are long enough to go all the way around.Exactly what I wanted. I only used one in a small space on my console and it lit up beautifully. Only con is one of the tiny bulb is out. It’s so small and just the one so not a big deal.The battery packs are very cheap plastic and got broken during shipment. Overall for the price the lights are great. Great use for crafting.Very nice product works well I would of gave a five stars but they should’ve packaged it in a better way! and unwinded nicely till the end it took me a while to untangle it, once I accomplish that everything was great!Need to be easier to unwindLove these petite little lights! Perfect for my space. Love the bright colors & that they are battery operated. Also got them before I expected them!Used these lights for my classroom’s bulletin board. It was the perfect amount of bright purple lighting needed to light up all my (ornament) bubbles in our wickedly cute caldron.
