5 Pack Fairy Lights Battery Operated, 7 Feet 20 Led String Lights with Timer, Waterproof Firefly Lights on Silver Wire for Home Party Wedding Christmas Decorations, 6 Hours on/18 Hours Off, Warm White

No where to plug in

I love the way these look. I bought a package of 5 strands. They are very pretty & add a delicate bit of light to my Christmas decorations that are in a place where an electric cord would not work. The battery box is somewhat large in comparison to the strand. I did see other varieties that used wafer batteries that were smaller battery holders but those wafer batteries can be expensive. I chose the product that used (3) AA batteries. I hide the battery box in the greenery, a bit of a challenge on my window wreaths since I had to use green florist wire to secure the battery box hidden in the greenery but yet be accessible for turning on & off. The switch is very tiny & somewhat difficult to push to desired position but not awful. I was excited to see a timer option & it mentioned various light patterns. I thought that would be nice in case I wanted them to twinkle or blink. I also didnt want to have to turn off & on each day. After purchase I found there is only 1 timer option. You either have OFF, ON, or TIMER. The timer function offers (I think it was) 6 hr of burning & then cycles off for 18 hr. The problem is the light patterns are all on one setting, the timer setting. You cannot choose the pattern you want. You get them all in one setting. Its like a cycle of pattern 1, then 2, then 3 & so on. The patterns cycle from a soft twinkle of random bulbs going off & on; a fade & bright, fade & bright; then a faster blinking with increasing speed; & then something attuned to some psychedelic pattern that I would guess would trigger an epileptic seizure (Im not joking). Someone visited me one evening & I asked what she thought about my lights & said, theyre pretty but not too sure about that one crazy pattern. Its like psychotic. So now I just manually turn them on each evening & then off. I cant use the timer function & I do miss the twinkling pattern. They are just a constant on which is OK but not what Id hoped for. If you want bizarre light patterns then these would be OK. If you want to pick a pattern the these wont work for you. If you want nice tiny fairy lights to enhance your decorations or decor then these are perfect. The wire is very delicate & almost invisible.

I have bought several sets of these lights, they are tiny, but bright and work great for my craft projects.

Just what I needed!!

UPDATE: The timer function is for the blinking and fading lights. But the ON function DOES LET ME HAVE SOLID WARM LIGHTS FOR 6 Hours every night. The instructions might need to be updated to clarify this on distinction. Adding a star back to make this 4/5. —— I wanted fairy lights that turned on once a day for six hours, but the only way you can use the timer function is if you don’t mind a rotation of flashing and blinking and fading lights. I don’t recall seeing that in the description of this product. So, now I will have to go back to turning the lights on and off each day in order to have just a simple, solid, warm light.

I have the lights inside a glass and metal lantern outside under my covered parking area. They are very colorful.

I always think of warm being like a candle flame (yellow) and soft being like a marshmallow (white) when buying lights. They are still really nice lights though.

Considering the efficiency of tiny LEDs, I expected that three AA batteries would have these running for half a year, sadly the batteries only lasted a bit under month in 3 separate strands (so it wasnt a fault with one). This is still a fair period, so Im not panning the product, but it makes me wonder if any of its competitors would last a lot longer.

These lights are very pretty and just as described. Overall, I gave them 3 stars because the timer information is misleading. The timer setting causes the lights to constantly flash, rather than stay on in one position.

Lights were adequate, but timer function, which I really wanted, goes through all the light modes, and I wanted only constant on. I did not think this circus mode was mentioned in the product description. Will not by again.
