These are beautiful. We put them on our front porch and in the evening, they accent our other decorations that we have. I'm hoping there are colors for Christmas and Easter as welol.This is good for the amount spent.They are beautiful and I love them. But mine didn't come with a remoteThe lights look great. Pretty much as described, with the only exception being that I don't think that there are truly 8 "different" modes. Several modes are the same, just in slightly different order. Slo-glo is off, slowly going on, then back off. Slow-fade is on, slowly going off, then back on. Both are basically just slowly cycling between on and off. 3 of the modes are all modes alternating, just in different order. And 2 of the modes are just 2 alternating speeds of flashing. There is no true chasing mode, wave mode, twinkle mode, or single type of flash mode, at least not in the sense of traditional light string modes.I could only tolerate the steady on mode because all of the others (except the slow on and off modes) have a VERY rapidly flashing mode included that gives me a headache. But, as I said, they do look great... especially if you like purple, and I do. It would be nice if the plug/controller was waterproof, since I'm using them outside, but I'll wrap it in plastic and hope for the best.At 65', and with a nice, bright color, they're definitely worth the price.These were fabulous and durable. I would have given 5 stars but they are a bit tricky to get untangled.They're really nice lights, but because they're so lightweight, the wind here in Oklahoma blows them up and onto the roof.These are awesome lights! The colors are beautiful. So many different choices for the blinking etc. Very pricey, but so worth it! Good quality. I will absolutely buy them again, I need more for the rest of our house. I’m 61yrs old and these are the best I’ve ever seen.
