These smaller clips made it easy to hang on my porch since I have a iron railings that's pretty thin. The clear color is a great feature and makes the lights I hung look like they are just dangling from the rails without ugly colored holders. They withstood the weather, rain and sun on the porch. I can leave them up during seasonal changes without them looking tacky without lights and then hang decor as needed, like up coming next is St Patty's day and we hang glowing luck clover lights and then Easter with the Pastel Egg string lights.
