I love this product.  it is very stron and I can see the lights reflecting in the trees.  We live with a lot of surrounding trees.  We are big with decorating and the trees are too tall for us so we use this lighting to give light to the trees.  It looks so cool.  I was worried that it might not shine bright but it really does and goes throughout the trees at a good distance.  It looks good on the houses too but since we do have lighting on the house, I decided to do this with the trees and it looks really good.  It gives it a festive feel.
