I wasn't real sure about buying this item. I'm sure glad I did!!! It has an auto-on-off, and it is so pretty at night. My neighbors all wanted to know "where did you find this"!!! I told them Wayfair, of course!! I have a nice mailbox, that we bought from a custom company and this lighted sway makes it look more lovely. I would like to have something along this order to wrap around the two lamp lights on the front of  the garage, to match this swag. I'm glad I bought this item. I saved the box to store it in and look forward to using it again this Christmas season. Also, the little box that holds the batteries, sits under the greenery so it's not visable. Love  it!!!!!!
