These are great! The lights are super protected and the lights are really bright. It comes with a remote that you can change the colors of the lights, the brightness of the lights, and the mode of the lights. There are so many possibilities for the lights. Some of the colors aren't as accurate as I feel they could be. The orange is more yellow, the purple is more blue, etc. But that doesn't change that the lights are really beautiful and nice. These do require a plug in order to make them work. I wish they had an option for a small solar panel so that I could put them in a spot that didn't require electricity. The cord to plug them in is a little bulky as well but you can't really help that.
