My husband has always wanted a set of these. He bought a new TV this year and gave my brother our old one. My brother has a set of light strips like this and it gives a nice light to the room, so I got one for my husband as well. The lights are very pretty at night when it's dark, and you can change the colors to whatever color or pattern you like. It's very nice to have at Christmas too, you can set a very merry light pattern.
