What a surprise, this package came early. Okay, good news, the lights are very pretty. BUT they are TINY, at least tinier than the description shows. Also good, they don't seem to use alot of battery power. My first concern was that it would burn through all of our supply of AA batteries, but a week later of straight running on 'ON' and they are going strong!! (I would NOT recommend leaving them on for that long). I am also purchasing a rechargeable battery charger and rechargeable batteries. It's very festive (we got the blue lights) and it really makes a HUGE difference in the room!! Will probably order some more come holiday time! (Also neat is the variety of light flickering patterns it can make).These lights are gorgeous, they are a bright pinky purple, so perfect for Valentine’s & Spring. I love using them in our foyer. ?Brightness was as bright as I would of expected. Other than brightness they work great.These lights are just as described, but I did have some difficulty with them turning dimming to the point of being almost invisible. I believe there is a bad connection, because a coupled of flicks will turn them back on.Other than that, these lights are a pretty icy blue with wires that are easy to manipulate into what ever shape you desire. The remote control was a nice addition and using with the remote or the on/off switch on the battery case you can cycle through eight different timings like fade-in, flashing, chasing, always on, etc. the battery box has a couple of clips that makes it easy to open and close, BUT it does take six double A batteries, and that can make it a bit bulky and large to lug around. By accident, I found that just three batteries will power the lights without problem, but the battery box is still large.These are perfect for my use! We decorated my daughters room and have the string around her closet, headboard and window. So cute.Remotes worked at first and3 minutes later didn’t.. hmm.. but there is also a secondary control so for the price, it worked out fine for us!Would I buy them again, even with the remote issue - yes I would!these lights are great, the only thing is i ordered the pink and they look like purple, they are still really pretty thoughExcellent buy, I absolutely love these light. I bought them to add to a wreath if made for my front door. They we bright, true to advertised color and made all the difference in the look of the wreath. Easy to use and add to almost any decorative idea where light is needed (good not to have to use a candle). The battery, remote operation made it so easy.Very bright for fairy lights...convince of being remote controlled and not having to go outside to turn on and off.
