Pretty! But it took work
I really like these lights, very pretty warm light. They look like snowflakes up close, but from a distance more like stars, but I don’t mind (planning on keeping them up year round anyway). 4 stars because it took me awhile to untangle the very thin wire, kept getting looped around the points of the snowflakes, and had to very carefully move to where I wanted to hang it so it wouldn’t tangle again. Also, battery pack plastic was cracked and broken when received. Once you get them up, though, very nice for price point!

Hmm, not all of these are all alike
I got a set of a different brand which are cool white snowflakes. I liked them so much I decided to buy a set of multicolor. I assumed all these sets are mostly alike. However not so. This set has only 3 modes, ON, OFF, and Flashing. Other snowflake lights have the 8 modes and often come with remote. I like calm modes like slow twinkle and “breathing” or slow blink.The flashing is stressful and annoying, not a nice twinkle, more like a strobe light. So I’ll be using ON. The colors there are only 4, exactly as pictured. Red, warm white/yellow, green, blue. That’s it. No purple, or violet. The color scheme is a bit limited but I’m not sure it’s noticeable. That’s not really the problem.The snowflakes fall off very easily. And there’s no easy way to make them stay on. I’m tempted to use glue but I’m afraid to ruin them. Maybe I have to use a little puddle of glue and use a toothpick for a tiny amount. This is probably the biggest minus. Once you get them, you might have a crafting project on your hands too.Because they’re battery powered they seem to “fade” after a few days. They were dim to begin with. But they got even more dim after the first day. I noticed it in another set of lights so I put new batteries in both of them and when the batteries are new, they are brighter. After a day, they fade. This is a manufacturing issue. Nothing is wrong with them. They’re reacting to the normal falling of the voltage of the alkaline batteries. The manufacturer didn’t think to add any voltage regulator or electronics to keep the voltage steady.There are positives. The wiring is durable and well made. It runs on three AA batteries and has no warning about not using rechargeable. I assume that’s because it doesn’t have a slow fade mode, which is basically a dimmer. I had the cool whites running in steady ON mode for nearly a week and they were going strong. I’ll have to test and see these.The battery panel is a bit tricky to open, it slides “toward” the switch. Hold it like a pack of cards, put your thumb on the panel, point your nail toward the switch and wire and push toward the wire/switch, like you’re going to fan out a deck of cards. Gently. If you do it in other ways, it can pinch your fingers, so use care.In the end, I decided to return these. The breaking point was that, since there’s no voltage control electronics the batteries are drained quickly. I used both alkaline and NiMH in separate tests and both were drained equally quickly. When they become dim, they’re almost unnoticeable, except in total darkness. Replacing the batteries every two days is just a bit much to ask. It’s OK for party supplies, but not OK for xmas lights. The strings of lights with dimmer/timer/8modes have enough electronics that I can make them last all week. That’s more reasonable.

Very cheaply made
I was really disappointed by these lights. They are cheap, brittle plastic. The switch is a tiny tab to turn on, off, or blink. No timer setting. The battery case arrived cracked and a terminal broke the first time I tried to take a battery out. Would not recommend.

El producto es tal como se describe en Amazon. La serie la instalé en una ventana.

I think it’s really frustrating and very disappointing when products do not live up to expectations. One bulb is dead. I’ve had no choice but to order 3 more pieces because I underestimated the length required for my tree and I am keeping fingers crossed that I am not going to find any more dead bulbs. SELLER – kindly check the quality before you send our!!

I wouldn’t buy this. It has stopped working even with brand new batteries ☹️
