Christmas cards we receive have always been a problem. I LOVE this solution, it was festive, cheerful, and practical. It turned itself on, which I came to appreciate since I didn't think to do so myself. Worried about battery life, I would turn it off, but it was still going into January without dimming after being left to twinkle every afternoon and evening. I will get another string next year I think, to add the cheerfulness to another area of our home. I'm trying to think of reasons to keep this string up for something else: Easter cards, Valentine's, anniversary, or just snapshots we've collected? I highly recommend this product.I have all my grands’ pictures ( I have 17) on this string, and they are my night lights at night. I do wish I could set the timer for fewer than 6 hours on, 18 off just to save battery life. I also wish the cord holding the battery pack hung down longer to make it easier to change batteries, but it’s still a nice product.At first I was a little put off by the packaging. It's in a cheap, Christmas package and very small. However, the lights turned out nice and my daughter loves them. It was a gift so I took them out of the box and placed in a pretty bag. They have different light patterns with a remote that's really cool.My niece is a photo girl! She got a Polaroid camera for Christmas and these lights with photo clips are perfect for hanging across her bed frame at the top of her bed. She can see all of her happy memories every night! Really cool idea, and the lights are just right. A fun feature is the remote, she loves having options on how her lights show. Very cute gift!!Cute but had an awkward time hanging these. The battery pack hangs off one end and the other end doesn't have any 'end' just the last clip. You cant use adhesive on the backs of the clips because its a minutely small plastic circle that isn't big enough to adhere to anything. I used mini command hooks on both ends and hid them behind picture frames but it was a process to get it looking good. The pictures try to turn as this is like a set of Christmas lights so the wires want to turn on you.Gave them for Christmas as a silly gift but it turned out to be a big hit and I’m going to get another string for myself.... Actually a very clever little invention.This was a hit at my mom's Celebration of Life. The strand does get tangled easily and I wish the color was a little warmer but they looked great.Pretty much love everything about it but I expected the string to be a little bit longer
