These wonderful lights help create a magic garden …. with the choices of how I want them to blink, every night I enjoy a different pattern .. and the remote makes it so easy to have these tucked into trees and bushes,, and with one click, there is 'magic' .. do not hesitate to enhance a wonderful garden …I put the battery pack in plastic, as suggested, when there are heavy rains and they stay working perfectly. They would also make a beautiful addition any where in your home.
