Best light set yet
Someone asked if these lights are still worth getting, if you don’t buy the curtain lights version: Yes! I hung my string, not curtain lights, across a balcony railing, 2 purposely uneven, crossing, swag designs; horizontal, only 1/3 the way down and while you won’t get say, a Halloween pumpkin face or Christmas presents design with the string lights, you will get, even with the preset or download designs, many amazing patterns and sophsticated combinations of colors, besides being able to widely choose your own.So far, as I bought mine not long ago-except for the initial trying them out for different multicolor combinations, I have only used these for the month leading up to Halloween yet, and with just choosing 2 colors for October; orange and purple or just all orange or all purple, I did 2 weeks of changing the patterns each night, before I repeated any of them. One night I used the “Scanner” pattern on a dimmer light level of purple and with the lights just 1/3 the way down the railing, it gave the unintended but wonderful, abstract look of small misty purple ghosts going back and forth and fading out at the tail end as they go across the railing.As another review noted, the “fire” preset pattern, while it only shows flame shapes on the curtain lights version, on the string lights version, it shows a delightful and unexpected combination of colors that look very autumn-like.There is a wide choice of brightness or dimming levels, speed or slowness levels, along with the choice of manypatterns. There’s a very wide choice of colors, including actual orange for Halloween, not just gold, and shades of purple, not just blue, but of course, shades blue and gold colors are available on this set, too.When you first start, you “map” the lights, by hanging them in any direction or pattern or way that you choose, then point and also scan-move your camera through the app, along your string, to get the entire string “mapped,” until all lights turn a certain color, which may take a few times; no big deal, considering the results you get, after you’re done and then can start choosing your colors and patterns.Once set, you can also change individual lights to the colors you want or choose from many presets or download colors and patterns made by other people. I tried out many color shades, tints and patterns, when my set arrived; even mapping them while they were still bundled and was amazed with the results, even then. The bundles come gathered with velcro straps; a nice touch.What could be improved?:Only 16 patterns at a time can be saved; a lot more would help.These lights, as coming with 2 strings attached to the works at the center instead at one end, is just plain weird. As they are long, I put that center at one end of my railing at the outlet, & then placed each string up on the railing going to the other end, one at a time along the railing to avoid tangling them.There are a few patterns included that don’t let you change the colors for them; most give you many color options.I have not yet tried the timer, as it’s fun to just point my phone at them outside while I’m inside as a remote, as they are close enough.I wish the setting where you can choose individual light colors had as the image of your lights configuration, one that could be enlarged on your phone to make it easier to hone in.These aren’t major concerns and these dazzling lights are the best lights on the market, as of now-late 2022. I also have bought the current longest string version; 600 lights, for my Christmas tree later, and expect to be further amazed.This is an investment; costs more than other strings; worth it if they last. I changed from my previous light set, as that one, though it had many-not as many-very nice colors and patterns, quit after having them up, off and on, for not quite 2 fall-spring holiday seasons, so I wasn’t going to get the same again and hope these ones are longer lived. I also wanted to be able to have my own choices with color combinations and dimmer levels.

Very impressive and beautiful!
First of all, you know you’ve arrived into the future when your Christmas lights need to be attached to your Wi-Fi and you need to download an app on your phone to control them! LOL! I remember growing up in the 80s and thinking that it was super cool when you could install that one white flasher bulb to make your holiday lights flash on and off! But I digress. These light are really amazing. Sure, they’re expensive but they do exactly what they advertise and they are of very high quality. I can envision many situations beyond the holidays where creative people can use these to set a mood or make amazing displays for any holiday or special occasion. The lights are really small compared to conventional Christmas light strings, almost like fairy lights, but I think that’s an advantage. The strings are very light and easy to manage and you can pack a lot of lights onto a tree for extra effect and wow factor. My small tree is using a single 600 light strand. I bought a second 600 strand but even I, as a Leo who sometimes channels my inner Clark W. Griswold, decided that this was a enough. Setting up the lights is a breeze. Downloading the app is simple and straight forward. If you have an Amazon Echo as I do, integrating control over the lights into Alexa is super simple. I have them timed to go on and off from dusk until dawn and it works great. No issues. There are dozens if not hundreds of special effects that people have created on-line and which you can download if you really want to put on a display that looks like something out of Las Vegas. Or you can do more subtle displays, which is what I opted for. I’m planning on switching to a soft white with white sparkles for Christmas Eve. I highly recommend these if you like to change up your lights. Happy Holidays!!!
