Review on Vibrant LED Halloween String Lights - Remote Controlled, Battery Operated Fairy Lights for Festive Bedroom Decor, Weddings, Parties, and Xmas Celebrations (16ft 50LED, Waterproof Copper Wire, Orange) by Raquel Perkins

I bought these to use as Christmas decorations along with the faux pine cord for the front step railing and also as mantel decor. The 16 foot length was perfect and the battery lasted a full season (about a month in our household). We didn't actually use the remote except when first turning it on to select the automatic setting of the timer. After that, they turned on and off as expected. They held up well outside in inclement weather, although they darkened towards the end - but what do you want from a pair of AA batteries? Will definitely buy a few more to use next year.
