My daughter wanted to put up some colorful lights in her room and these seemed like they would work perfectly. We decided to put them under her loft bed and it turned out awesome! They are very easy to use. They come on a wheel and you just peel and stick basically. It has different lengths where you can cut it to make it fit your needs. It does require to be plugged into an outlet, and the it comes with a remote. My daughter loves changing up the colors and speeds every day. The colors are very bright and even the standard white lights up her whole room. I would definitely recommend.
