Beautiful lights that are easy to use.
The lights work beautifully. I use them to pretty up the wreath on my door and it's the perfect length. It did not come with a whole lot of instructions; but the good people here on Amazon helped clear up a few questions I've had. In case you're interested:First click turns on the light and timer function.- Lights will stay on for 6 hours, turn off then come on again the next day at the same time you pressed the buttonSecond click keeps lights on indefinitelyThird click turn lights offIt's been running for a couple of weeks now on one set of batteries. The lights are fairly bright with a very slight warm tone (not quite a blueish white, but I wouldn't call it a warm yellow).The price is great and it does exactly what I want it to do. What's not to love?

Good, sturdy yet delicate lights
LOVE these little lights. I've only used them this one Christmas season, but they performed stellarly and stored well, too. The light is a little less warm than I expected, but they look really nice anyway. I used them on two large magnolia wreaths on driveway gates, and on the smaller wreath on the front door.They were a little hard to arrange symmetrically, but the lights looked just fine.I can't say how long they would last on one set of batteries, since I didn't get the wreaths up until the 19th, and I took them down before New Year's (as any good Southerner does), but the timer feature surely would make them last quite a while.I always put the battery box into a ziplock bag, since a rain and wind storm is assured the minute I assemble and hang the gate wreaths. The battery box on these lights is really sturdy and seems like I might not need the baggie even in a rainstorm.

Great product but inaccurate estimate for battery life
Quick take: buy these if you're looking for battery powered LED lights w/ a timer.Well executed product, bought 3 more after receiving and inspecting the first. The wire is easily formed into just about any shape desired and stiff enough to maintain that shape on it's own if needed. With new batteries, the lights are bright and clear. Due to how each LED is encased in an individual glass form, it gives a reflective characteristics that results in a shimmer or flickering effect. Certainly not a warm white light - not offensive, just not "warm". Battery compartment is well designed and easy to use. After 2 weeks exposed to the elements, no evidence of failure or water in the battery casing.Knocking a star off for advertised battery life when using timer mode. YMMV, but we installed them for an exterior application in colder temperatures. Installed brand new Energizer batteries in all 4 sets, and while there may be some juice left after 14 days, the lights become so dim that you really can't see them. I estimate about 7 days of full brightness and then they begin to dim noticeably. 10 days of use is a more reasonable expectation and certainly a good candidate for rechargeable batteries considering the required replacement schedule.Still a fantastic product and a fair value. We fully expect to get a few seasons out of them, possibly more.

MUCH better than expected!
This is a great product and something that I've been looking high and low for. The wire is very flexible and sturdy. I've used to wrap around the pillars of an outdoor park/ picnic shelter to add glimmer to a birthday party, outside around a wreath to make Halloween pumpkins glow on my front door, across the back of an entry table for evening ambiance, and together with a pretty garland with long-ago burn out lights. Best of all, the product has a TIMER!!!! I just love that I can set it once and every day, without any effort, my house is alight with a sophisticated glow (not campy or Griswald-esque holiday). Since October 5, 2013, I've used my lights for 4 hours on one day and every day since then on the 6 hr. (on) / 18 hr. (off ) timer -still on the first set of batteries. I can definitely see year round use for these. I highly recommend. I'm ordering another set today with a plug for the times where that makes more sense than batteries.

Cool lights, but eats batteries like termites in a lumber yard
PRO: Very bright itsy bitsy little lights! Wire strand is great for decorating - light strand can be "posed" very easily. Warm white color is very reminiscent of incandescent bulb color. Battery pack is smaller than a deck of cards, but a little thicker, and not too heavy even with AA batteries so it's easy to conceal. The whole light strand is very light weight making it easy to add to decor.CON: This is a huge CON - these lights chew through batteries! I used these lights - both the 30 light strands and the 60 light strands - for Christmas decorating indoors. I found that using the timer function obliterated batteries in less than 3 days. So by the third day I had to get on a ladder and change the batteries. Thankfully I also purchased brand new Panasonic eneloop rechargeable batteries - so these batteries had maximum life and charging capacity. Nonetheless, my decor goes up the weekend after Thanksgiving and stays up until New Years. That's an awful lot of battery changes.While the LED bulbs don't use much energy, the timer seems to need a boost in efficiency. Really disappointed because the lights are lovely and easy to work with and so inexpensive. But I gave up on constantly changing my batteries which means now I don't have light where there are lights and I can't say I intend to use these lights again. If these are needed for just one event - like a wedding or dinner party and so the timer function isn't critical to decorating needs I'm sure the user would be much happier than me. For Christmas decorating, however, these are a no go again for me.
