The lights were delivered very quickly & come in a very small box (smaller than I anticipated). The lights are on an actual gold wire that bends and stays in that shape as needed. I only planned on using the lights inside my window area. There were a lot of lights left over. The lights come wrapped around a sturdy piece of plastic so you can use as much as you need. The lights are surprisingly bright and have different flashes or can stay on permanently. These lights don't have any option for batteries, you just plug them into an outlet which I prefer.The are just the twinkle lights I was looking for!I bought a sparse faux tree. I bought small led lights w clear coating in wire. Unfortunately no matter how I hung them the clear coating stuck out. I wanted the thinness of fairy lights but no batteries since they die too soon. I found these and used two boxes on a 7.5 ft tree. The lights are perfect. I used warm white. They have blinking etc. What a fantastic value for the price and the best part-easy to hide the wire and not lose the glow.The lights are a very nice addition to our deck. They create a nice ambience to our deck.These are the nicest fairy lights I’ve ever purchased. They are true Orange! They are not yellow-ish, weak of color orange. Rich, deep orange. The wire is invisible and it makes it wonderful to decorate with! The plug-in is not complicated (USB) nor cumbersome. Simple. Perfect lights. Ordering more….The lights are beautiful and bright just as shown.The only thing is it is a bit overpriced.These seem really tough and durable, even though they look delicate. Unfortunately due to the low voltage, though, there is some voltage drop at the end. This means these LED's are dimmer compared to the ones closer to the beginningUnknown about weather proof until able to use for a while.Super easy to unwrap and hang.
