We ordered two of these trees and are mostly disappointed with their performance.  Both trees arrived with too few connecting springs to set up the tree.  Mayfair is sending more in a couple of weeks so we won't be able to set them up  until well into the holiday season.  In addition, the remote control devices will only work if you are within 6 to 12 inches of the plug.  They work but are very weak.  I checked the batteries and they are fully charged so it must be a poor remote design.  They do have 8 modes of display but unfortunately if you attach them to a dusk to dawn plug they tree resets to the 1st mode when it next gets power to turn on.  Still works but you must walk out to the tree and change the settings each time if you want something other than the 1st mode.  Don't recommend this product.
