Batteries die very fast

Bought these for my Christmas decor along with a set without remotes, the set without remotes are still working great and are bright, the ones with the remote burnt out within a few days, I had them on for less than 4 hours a day and they did not last a week

Pros
  • ‎Yes
Cons
  • The lights only come in multicolor and are not available in other color themes

More of a yellow than a warm white

The remote control option on these is really nice. I have a longer strand from a different company on my mantle and the same remote works for both. The battery life is incredibly short on the batteries it comes with. I’ve purchased two Duracell batteries for one of the strands that has already gone out and I’m going to see if those last any longer. As far as the color goes, it’s more of a yellow than a warm white. The one I have on my mantle from the other company is definitely a warm white and

Pros
  • Indoor String Lights
Cons
  • Terrible product

I’m disappointed: my feedback

I put these in glass vases and bottles. They look so festive and nice. I can change how they twinkle. A few weeks after starting to use these occasionally, 3 quit working and one remote is dead.very disappointed.

Pros
  • Makes a great gift for friends or family who love to decorate
Cons
  • The lights are not compatible with smart home systems

Battery Drainer best in my review

I really loved these lights at first, but I don't care for them anymore. The battery drains even if you don't use them, and the brightness could be a little bit better. But mostly, I'm disappointed with the way they drain the batteries no matter how much you use them. I've had many battery powered lights before and never had that issue until I bought these. Would not recommend or buy again.

Pros
  • Offers a soft and gentle glow that is soothing and calming to the senses
Cons
  • The lights are not aesthetically pleasing enough to be used in social settings

Perfect to add lights to decorations

These lights are a great way to add additional light to any environment and the spruce up decorations. They allow you to add light without the need of an unsightly extension cord running down the wall or across the floor. The seller offered a great photo in the Revain post on how the replace the batteries when needed. Fortunately the batteries are incredibly cheap to replace and last a very long time which helps keep this as a low cost investment to spruce up any space or decoration.The 6 pack…

Pros
  • ‎Color Changing
Cons
  • The lights are not bright enough to be used as a primary light source

Perfect for center piece

I have two flower arrangements on my fire place mantle with garland running across underneath the mantle! I used one string of lights for each flower arrangement and one for the garland and it looks so great! Love being able to use the remote to control the type of light and was very easy to program the remote! Love it so much great price for great quality

Pros
  • Adds a touch of whimsy and joy to your everyday life
Cons
  • The lights are not worth the investment and are better replaced with a higher quality product

2 of the light strands do not work

I love that these are remote control. But 2 of the strands do not work. I need them soon so I had to order another one to fit the 6 decorations I am using them for. I just wish I could get refunded and not have to order a whole new set!

Pros
  • These are great instead of having to shut each off individually will definitely order more!
Cons
  • Great until it wasn’t! Batteries only lasted 10 days!

Battery life too short

I loved the lights for my glass jars & plants. Only used a few times when company came over & then would shut them off. Went to turn them on tonight & none of them worked. One of the sets I took out of the bag that I never used didn't even work. Loved that they had a remote control.

Pros
  • Liked how easily the battery pack could be concealed. Extremely SHORT battery life!!
Cons
  • Lights are bright, but the remote does not work.

Nice lights, sucky batteries

I bought six strings of fairy lights to install in a half of a 53 gallon bourbon barrel that I am using as a table. After installing the lights I turn them on once to show to my wife and promptly turn them off. I ended up replacing all of the CR2025 batteries, plus the battery in the remote. Nice bright lights, but very expensive to operate due to the fact that I had to replace all the batteries after using the lights for five minutes

Pros
  • Perfect for creating DIY decorations, centerpieces, or crafts
Cons
  • The lights are not compatible with rechargeable batteries

Remotes are mostly useless

I loved the idea of remotes because then I would have climb or open things, etc to turn them off. Basically the remote works to turn them on but not off. Defeats the whole purpose imo. Batteries don't last long either. I bought ones without remotes and they seemed to last longer. I just wanted the convenience of the remote. That's why I bought these. No convience here.

Pros
  • ‎Indoor,Outdoor
Cons
  • The battery compartment is difficult to open and close

Pretty, but batteries don’t last

Worked great for my Christmas decorations. Added the perfect amount of brightness. The batteries didn’t last more than a few weeks which is a pain to change. And ended up costing more than the lights for only using a few months

Pros
  • Provides a unique and functional way to decorate your living space
Cons
  • The lights don't emit enough light to be used in large rooms or halls

Adds beauty to a room when they work!

I loved how they look but one string did not function at all. We replaced the batteries but it still didn't work. I needed all six strings so now I have to buy more. So sad. Also we are very sorry we purchased them because when we went to turn them on again they did not work. The batteries in the actual lights lasted about 5 minutes. They are worthless!

Pros
  • Seasonal Lighting
Cons
  • The battery type (CR2032) is uncommon and expensive to replace

Lights, what lights?

The lights are great for the three seconds that they actually stay on. I put in brand new batteries, the same ones I used for larger items same day, and within the week they were already out. I do not leave them running I turned them off for the evening and they were already faded and turning off the batteries it already died by the end of the week. This is a no go! Don’t waste your time or your money on these because they don’t stay lit for very long with the batteries

Pros
  • ‎Lithium Manganese Dioxide
Cons
  • The battery compartment is not waterproof and can get damaged if exposed to water

Awesome ! in my review

I put them in centerpieces for daughters wedding reception…they look awesome and the remote is my favorite part… don’t have to look for on button in the flowers !

Pros
  • ‎Remote
Cons
  • The lights are not convenient to set up and require a lot of effort

Battery issue best in my review

These would be fine if you didn't have to replace batteries monthly. I had them on a timer and the battery didn't last a month. Not sure what I was hoping for. However the remote works great when you are close to the plug-in.

Pros
  • Perfect for creating a cozy and romantic ambiance in any space
Cons
  • The lights are not energy-efficient and contribute to carbon emissions

Needs a physical off switch

I can see why so many reviewers are angry, because the moment you pull the tab out, the units are draining the battery. Because the IC is waiting for the remote control to turn it on.That's not an issue for me, since I was planning on rewiring one of these to run off USB anyway. My problem is that the "chase" mode is not a "chase."All of the blinking modes have the lights alternate between odd and even bulbs, so a true "chase" is impossible, so the description is incorrect.

Pros
  • Works great whether you use the batteries or, as I did, wire it directly to a power supply.
Cons
  • Remote does not work

Loved at first, but didn’t work long

This product was used for Christmas 3D shadow boxes and accents for Christmas decor. The lights didn’t last long and the remotes stopped working within a few days. I changed the batteries and they still did not work. Disappointed with purchase.

Pros
  • ‎0.16 ounces
Cons
  • The cord is too thin and easily tangled

These didn’t even last an hour.

Didn’t even last an hour, replacing batteries because it’s quicker. Let’s see if they even work with new batteries. Waste of money

Pros
  • ‎Battery Powered
Cons
  • The lights are not aesthetically pleasing and look cheap

These lights are beautiful, but the battery life is way worse than once a I have bought in the past. I only turned them on for 2-3 hours a night and they didn't even last 2 weeks. Very frustrating.

Pros
  • Bought these for a night of fun in the bed. They give a nice glow
Cons
  • maybe an hour a day if that and after three uses the battery went dead.

Very bright and has several different settings

I used them for centerpieces for a party and set each one on a different setting . The tables looked great . The battery life is inconsistent and sometimes doesn't last very long.

Pros
  • Timer
Cons
  • The battery life is inconsistent and sometimes doesn't last very long
