These are really cute little lights on a very long string. I laced them through a tree and they look nice. Some are brighter than others. The directions say they need a full day of sun and mine get all day full California sun and have mixed brightness. I might buy one more to get it brighter and fuller but they do look cute. My one huge gripe was the packaging. I’ve never seen lights so tangled, I don’t even understand how they could get this tangled from production to boxing. It must have taken 45 minutes to untangle, so that was incredibly frustrating and hence the star knock.
