Restrained elegance

And eat batteries for breakfast! On the 6-hour setting, the battery life is about 3 days, after which they completely lose their brightness. It's not a curse if you invest in rechargeable AA cells and a decent charger. The photo shows a branch on the 3rd morning. Blow it up to see a faint glow that returns to full brilliance with new batteries, as in the 2nd photo. (Of course, whenever you change batteries, you should also reset the timer at the start of the allotted duration.) ADDITIONAL: Since it uses 3 AA cells, you should find a charger that supports an odd number of rechargeable batteries. The cheapest of them only charge batteries in pairs. ADDITIONAL THOUGHTS: In the meantime I have bought AA rechargeable lithium-ion (EBL) batteries and a suitable charger. Their energy density is double that of NiMH batteries, and the strings shine brightly (unsurprisingly) twice as long! So I would recommend using them in this decoration.
