These lights are really pretty. I like all the different settings. The thing I didn't like was how long the single stand was! It made it so difficult to wrap around stuff. I would probably buy multiple shorter stands next time if that is an option. I also noticed that there were no extra lights. I had one light bend slightly when we were trying to run that long strand through my balcony and a bunch of lights went out. We had to be very gentle with them.Long and bright but they do not connect.Maybe it’s just me I looked at their instructions again and again and again. Thank goodness they are extra longThe ends don’t plug-in like a normal outlet very confusingThe lights ended up being tangled of course but then they had the audacity not to work! Total waste! The couple of times it flickered it looked beautiful but that last 3 secondsEasy to install and much lighter than traditional lights. The clear plastic cord makes them less noticeable once hung.
