Bought these fairy lights to use at my son's upcoming wedding in June. They arrived quickly. I like the battery compartment on these lights better than other fairy light sets I have purchased. These compartments are way easier to open and snap securely closed. I put in the required 3 AA batteries and pressed the button to change the modes. The back of the battery compartment lists the modes in their perspective order of sequence, and the remote included, has buttons that coincide with the list on the back of the battery compartment. Awesome!! I didn't unwind the light sets yet, because I didn't want to bother with wrapping them back up, so I cannot verify they are indeed 16.4 feet in length. Sorry, but it's a 4 pack set, and all sets appear to work perfectly. In addition to the 8 different modes, you can also dim them! The battery compartment measures 2.5 X 3. It appears to be very sturdy and looks like it would keep water out when used outside. Also has a loop at the top to possibly hook it onto something. All and all I'm happy with this purchase. I will update my review after the wedding. I would recommend purchasing from this seller. :)
UPDATE: The company contacted me after my review. The provided me 4 new units free of charge. They shipped it out immediately and I received it shortly after I posted this review. I tested all units, and call four work great. All units are fully put together. All remotes also work, and the new remotes work on the 2 old units that do work. Great customer service and it was easy to speak with them, explain what went wrong, and for them to fix the errors. I would recommend because these are a no-risk product; if they don't work, the company will back you up!
ORIGINAL:One did not work at all because it did not have all the parts in the battery box--SEE PHOTOS. One of them keeps shutting off and acting weird; it randomly just shuts off sometimes. I have tried switching batteries and nothing appears to affect it. The other two WORK GREAT. Excellent patterns and options, I really like them.
But given that one was inoperable from the start, and the other does not stay on--HALF of my order is defective and I cannot recommend this product. I purchased this as a "lightening deal" and I am wondering if, given the high volume of product being sold and made, that the quality was affected because other people seem to not be having problems with theirs like I am!
We used these to decorate our van for a Ragnar overnight relay. They were perfect! Lightweight, so easy to attach to the outside of the van using small strips of duct tape. We kept the battery compartments in the van and ran the lights though the window to the outside.
They were cheerful, bright, and after being on for more than 24 hours, they were still going strong at the end of the relay. They didn't seem to mind the rain on the way home. Can speak to long-term durability yet, but they worked great for us.
I originally wanted outdoor pillar candles for three lanterns but I wasn't satisfied with the fake Halloween-orange color they all seem to have. I bought these as a replacement and I am very happy with the result!
Even if I only get one season out of them, the price cannot be beat. I don't love every setting (some flashing options are way too fast for me) but the steady on and twinkling options are nice. The remote is convenient and easy to use, and I'm hoping the gasket in the battery pack will keep the batteries dry. We actually had a major downpour before and the lights worked just fine.
I think they look even better in person than in my pictures, but you can get an idea of how they look during different times of the evening. They are a pretty warm color and are a little less yellow than my pictures show.
These are really neat lights. I've never seen lights on copper wire before and they worked perfectly for what I wanted. I put them on a 3-foot tall, artificial evergreens for the front of our home. I've attached a picture. I do have two complaints: 1) they come with a remote, but there is no instructions on pairing the remotes (there are 4 remotes - one for each string of lights), but I have no idea how to pair them and when one works, it only works for a little bit and then the remote doesn't work any more. 2) in order to get the lights to stay on vs. blinking, you have to click the button 8 times. It's just a bit of a pain. If you put these lights in a place where the control box isn't easy to access, the remote is critical. Mine are easily accessible, so the remotes aren't needed. By the way, the remotes come with their own batteries, but the control boxes require 3 AA each (for each string).

I purchased these to string them up the posts of my patio gazebo. They work well for this purpose and I appreciate that one remote can control all 4 strings. I deducted one star because the item photo is deceptive, the strings of lights are very tiny and the photo is clearly depicting 8 strings or so, rather than the 4 you receive. I had hoped for more total lights per string based on the photo, but am still overall pleased with the purchase. It has not yet rained so I can’t definitively speak to how waterproof they are but the battery cases seem very secure and I feel it is likely they will remain waterproof.
Edit 10/28/18: after months outside in the savage Texas summer, these have survived beautifully. They are indeed fully waterproof, even during torrential downpour that spans several days. They’ve survived the unforgiving summer sun and heat without any detriment as far as I can tell. I’m really happy with them!
I will use these along with Stainless Steel Laundry Clothesline Hanging Rack - Compact Round Model Will Dry Clothing Anywhere and Includes Set of 18 Clothespins by Pro Chef Kitchen Tools For over the table at our camping property. I only used one string may use more depending on how it looks at camp.
I love the lights I wanted to use them as table centerpieces I wasn't sure wether I would use these or the cheaper ones with the button batteries so I got both. While the battery pack is bigger and a little harder to bury in the glass pieces (see pic) I wrapped the pack with the lights and then burryied it so it makes it difficult to see the pack. I got a little larger vase at the dollar store and I think that is a little better. The lights in the right hand vase and in the flowers are the one with the button batteries (these seemed a little wonky when I moved them around so I was worried if they would last as long as I needed them to, so I left them on overnight and they were still working the next day)
I opted to go with the more expensive lights that use the remote control, which will control more than one light set at a time and have different settings #2 has a nice little twinkle to it. I think that I will use these more after the centerpieces. I will use behind pictures, the TV and on bookshelves. My Daughter has already said that she wants some to take to her dorm room. It will be cheaper and easier to replace with the AA batteries and reuse. And really the being able to turn of and on with the remote is so useful.
These lights are amazing!! They are incredibly bright and a lot of fun! Currently, I have two sets attached to my wrist weights that I use when walking (it had to figure out how to attach them and that's a whole nother story!) and have been stopped several times by other walkers/joggers who wanted to know where I got the really bright lights. The batteries last a long time (so far, around 8 hours and they're still going strong) and since I use rechargeable batteries (purchased here at Amazon!), the cost is negligible. The only caveat is that you need to be careful with these lights if you have a cat! Our cat seems to like to chew the strand but the amazing thing is that on one of the strings, she chewed off two sections and... THEY STILL WORK!! Amazing!!
These are well worth the money... buy them!!
These are so perfect for a little added ambiance but also for holiday decoration. They are super tiny but actually really long. The copper wire is great for manipulating them into pretty much any shape you want and attaching them to things, but it can also get tangled kinda easy. They have a timer setting which is awesome so the batteries don't drain if you forget to turn them off. Love that they come with remotes too. Nice soft glow, sooo many options. One of my favorite purchases.
