These led icicle lights work great. They are encased in a waterproof tube and withstand the weather amazingly. They are very bright and colorful. They give off a warm glow around the house and connect easily to other sets so you can get the continued look all around your house. They are easy to install and seem like they are lasting.Bought these to go on a steep part of the house, had to hire someone to install in that areas as we don't have a ladder tall enough, they installed them fairly easily. We installed them on the lower side of the house which was easily done, the brightness is great and the different levels of flashing or not flashing them was nice, also liked the timer feature with them coming on and going off at set times. Our only issue and it's not the fault of the lights, is it is always windy up on the hill and the really high lights kept getting tangled due to the wind.I love these lights! In a time such as this, they brought joy to our household. There are many settings to choose from and they are definitely bright and colorful. Having a timer is a plus.But are you ready for this...wait for it....they held up through a recent northeastern snow storm. Unbelievable!!! And for that I now call them "warrior lights." I purchased additional lights from a different vendor just in case and I will use them but I am so happy to know that my "warrior lights" have endured through wind, sleet and an abundance of snow.Bright, light weight, easy to install! Would buy again.Ordered this set of lights for my home, and they came in quick and have a wonderfully long lead in cord to help ease trying to hide the string start. the wires are about as clear as you can get and lights are wonderfully bright and have multiple modes that when stringing multiple sets together all the sets use that same pattern so they are all in sync. Great buy for the money!The only thing I don’t like is that there is know clips but zip ties to hang them with... wish they come with some kind of fastener to hang them with.
