Review on Multicolor 12ft x 5ft Connectable LED Christmas Net Lights for Decorations - Waterproof, Timer & 8 Modes by Mike Hicks

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Well designed - looks good - only weakness = bad documentation

First of all I've never bought or used mains LED lighting so I was a little unsure about the quality and what I was getting would expect the time of purchase. this product. I won't lie, I was a little nervous about the lack of product reviews at the time of purchase, but they were mostly positive and the ones that didn't have stars deducted for the dumbest of reasons, so I thought I'd give it a shot. Conclusion? I don't regret it at all. Below you can see my thoughts. 1) The build quality is great and the way the mesh was designed with connection points to expand the mesh is amazing. Each connection point has a screw cap to protect the electrical component and everything connects easily. 2) The functionality is good and the different lighting options are nice. The only problem I had in this area was implementing a timer for the lights. Firstly, as you can see from the screenshot, which is the exact "manual" that comes in the box, there is absolutely no mention of a timer function. The only way to find out is to read about it from one of the photos on the product page. This is important to know because if the timer accidentally goes off and the lights go out without warning, you might think something has gone wrong with the lights. This actually happened to me today and it was good that I had a last minute reminder before emailing their service department that the problem might be timer related. Adding to the poor documentation, the implementation of the on/off timer is pretty vague, and it's easy to accidentally change the lighting sequence when trying to turn the timer on or off. 3) The presentation of the product is not bad, should not deter you from buying these lights despite some bad reviews on this aspect. They come in a plain box with documentation attached. You simply loosen the "string" holding the net together and gently straighten it. It's not particularly difficult or time consuming, and the process from opening the box to installing it on my bushes took less than 10 minutes. Melody. Time will tell about durability, but so far I have no regrets.

Pros
  • There's something to it
Cons
  • Sad hardware
