Perfect for what I wanted to use it for.  Well packaged.  Have a 24" diameter Halloween wreath that needed an extra set of lights.  This strand easily went around 1 1/2 times and added just the right number of lights without being overwhelming.  Love the timer function.  Clear wire is barely noticeable, although since my wreath is black, a black wire for the lights would have looked better.  Can't, however, notice the wire color at night, so it works just fine.  Only just started using, so can't yet speak to how the battery power holds up.
