Great idea with some flaws

I wanted to add color to our outdoor lighting along the eaves. We have icicle lights and I thought these lights would hang nicely between the strands. However, the icicle lights emit too much light for the orbs to function as intended. Some of them activate and glow as expected, but they're too thin compared to the bright icicles, especially since our house is far from the road. We found a solution but haven't taken the time to fix this issue yet. As you can see in the photo of a green sphere, when hung below the spheres work as intended and also show up a bit better. So we will increase the length of the hangers with a small chain or cord and hope this will help them work well and be visible. Of course, they will then probably move more in the wind. (I've included a video of them all lit up without the icicle lights on.) The balls are as described and the green ones are really pretty. Red does not emit as much light as green and is much thinner. I really wish they were lighter. Also, given the size of the spheres, ideally the display should use many light sources, but that would be very expensive. I felt a little guilty for spending as much as 11 balls and I still feel like the display really needs more of it to look right. as I had hoped they would be dramatic.
