We got 8 sets of these last year, and they are really not bright at all. So this year, we basically are using 2 strings to light one small wreath (using double the lights you think you'd need for each job). Luckily we're on rechargeable batteries, because, while these last fairly long, it takes 16 batteries to keep 8 of these things going.JacksonW35280 wrote: ↑ I had these last year and found they really sucked, so much so that I just threw them out after the winter.

Yes that is a fair assessment, I was most disappointed in how not bright they were. The battery life I could live with, they have a 8/16 timer mode too I think. I was excited about them and then so disappointed in the reality I think that coloured my impression.elkabong wrote: ↑ We got 8 sets of these last year, and they are really not bright at all.

They are not garbage, but they're also not amazing, at least for us. If you've got lots of batteries, and don't mind turning on TONS of strings of lights every day.. knock yourself out
There is a timer on this. 6 hrs ON, 18 hrs OFFelkabong wrote: ↑ We got 8 sets of these last year, and they are really not bright at all.

I'm not going to argue about this, as I'm sure you are right, but I would point out that you just recommended me to buy 4 AA batteries for $33. The light strings only cost $5 each.fattymccraigs wrote: ↑ I also found them quite dim using 1.2v rechargeable NiMH batteries. I swapped them for 1.5v rechargeable Lithium batteries and they are noticeably brighter.
