These are perfect for what I needed them for. Nice bright light perfect color.So far they work fine. I used them to light up my recumbent trike flag pole to increase visibility !Beautiful, bright lights, tiny battery pack, easy to hide in a container.Ordered lights in orange and warm color. The orange look like they’re on fire!! Gorgeous! The warm give a really nice glow.This is my second purchase the of these fairy lights. Easy to use and just enough to add a bit of flare and fun. Only complaint is the battery life could improve.We made friends and family little wooden trees this year and covered them with these lights. They are easy to use, affordable and very pretty.Update: 1/5 these eat 2 lithium batteries in a few hours. Do not recommend.Original: 3/5 - Very bright, nice hue. But buyer beware: these take 2 lithium batteries (each!) and the ones they come with die immediately. Got less than a few hours out of the first strand I tried. And yes, that’s 2 lithium batteries for each of the 7 strands. You might save a few pennies buying these, but you’ll pay dearly for the power to run them. (Side note: aren’t LED really efficient to run?? So I’m assuming the batteries included were old or used. If they do, in fact, burn through the 2 lithium batteries as quickly as these do I’ll update this review and probably knock it down to one star.)I used this to wrap around a costume. Didn’t tangle, battery has last through 2 long events and no lights have stopped workingLooked great on our table centerpieces. Batteries lasted for about a week of constant use
