My oldest child absolutely loves Halloween so when I got the chance to grab these lights I was really excited for them. We put these up in his room and they are really quite stunning. The length was perfect to go around his room at the top and it also adds a nice night light effect to his room which is great.When did purple become a Halloween color?I don't know, but purple is my favorite color.Will look nice in in one of trees in the yard on Halloween night. They are bright and I love them.
