Nice Look, Easy to Install

The lights are very easy to install, and look great. Each strand has a removable AC adapter. Removing the adapter is how one connects the strands end-to-end. The end-to-end, 2-prong, keyed connectors seem weather proof. (Full disclosure, I live in Southern California. We don't have much weather from which to proof!)The strands are not really 32' long. There is 8' lead from the plug to the first icicle. So, when you measure before you purchase, 24' is a more accurate estimate. I am able to connect 4 strands in series with no issues.The front and back of my house are each 96' long. I purchased (96' house/32' strand) * 2 = 6 strands (who said there would be math!) I ordered 3 colored strands for the front, and 3 warm-white strands for the back. When the order arrived, there was a white strand in a box labeled colored. Ack! It worked out, however. since the strands were shorter than I expected, The errant white strand completed the back of my house. Unfortunately, being short 1 colored strand for the front, I needed to order more colored strands (and tolerate the ridicule from my neighbors for only having half of the front of mu house lit). I ordered 3 more strands.The 3 new colored strands took almost 2 weeks to arrive. When they did, I again had another white strand in a box labeled for colored lights! Argh! I made the white strand work by putting them on my shed. But now I need to order more colored lights. I don't have much more perimeter if I get another white strand.If you have severe OCD, the colored lights may get to you. The colors are not randomized on the icicles. When hung, there is a row of red, a row of green, a row of amber, etc. My OCD is mild, so I get over it, but I do notice every night. :) Also, there is no random blink as one of the modes. That would be nice.In addition to these lights I would recommend eave clips, 6" Velcro wire ties (to wrap the 8' extension between strands), and smart plugs. The smart plugs have WiFi and enable all of your lights (landscape and Christmas) to come on at once. Cool feature!

Pros
  • These lights illuminate your surroundings and create a warm and welcoming ambiance
Cons
  • The strands may become tangled when not in use
