Purchased these lights for an evening paddle boating trip. I easily wrapped them around the hooks and handles to cover the board from tip to end. The 9 different modes were a bonus, and everyone loved them. Seemed to not be affected by the small amount of water that hit them along the 3 hours trip. The wire is very thin, and I would recommend using care when stringing them.The lights were better than I expected and very long too. It wrapped around my entire room very easily. The timer on the remote is a bit confusing though.I used these lights for my Xmas treeI hung these up on my room and they are adorable. They are long enough to go around my bed twice and have a nice warm glow. I do not know how to use the timer button, or maybe its just a really long timer. Battery length is insane, I accidentally left them on all night and they still worked the next morning. Would recommend.Love these little lights! Adds the perfect vibe. First set was dead, replacement is great! Remote is a bit quirky, but aside from that no complaints. Very lightweight and very easy to hang. Defective worth it!Bought these and used them in sconce I made. They were not too bright and not too dull...just right! Love them.Bought these to dress up my crutches. Worked really well.Just wrapped them around each crutch (one set per crutch), added batteries and that was it! I didn’t use tape, and just wrapped the cord strategically to get the battery unit to stay in the little Y part of the crutch. It works well on one, the other comes loose sometimes. Clear masking tape would probably be more secure. I live in a big city and feel safer with the lights on. People give me more space, and cars slow down earlier when they see me trying to cross the street. Plus these lights make me look fabulous and cheer me up during kind of a rough time in my life. It also pivots the conversation from “omg what happened?!” to “omg those crutches look great!” Would recommend.The buttons are a bit annoying (you have to click it a bunch of times to get the lights to stay on. I wish it had fewer settings so you could just click it on and off on the unit). And the wires are THIN. My crutches fell over a few times and one of the wires snapped, so the lights on half the chain stopped working. Would still recommend to a friend, though, but maybe be more careful than I was.Remote control is very nice!!
