Very comfortable and works well

I used two of these skeins to decorate bushes on either side of my front door last Christmas. I sent them out in mid-December, put a sandwich bag around the battery compartment to protect it from the elements, and found that one set of batteries lasted about 3 weeks with a 6 hour timer and an 18 hour timeout. The lighting setup I used was slow on and off for alternating bulbs. There are multiple patterns of different light shows to choose from: flickering lights, dimming on/off, alternating bulbs on/off, etc., but I don't know how different settings might affect battery life. Each string came with its own remote, but it turned out that one remote could be used for both strings by holding it next to the battery compartment of the string I wanted to change the settings for. The fact that these strings are battery operated was great as I really liked that I didn't have to run extension cords around the house to put on a decent Christmas light show. These strings have become a staple in my annual Christmas decoration box.
