Use Case:I wanted some small decorative white lights to go in my gym area in the basement given that basements only have small amounts of natural lighting. My basement is fully finished with open floor plan gym, toy area and tv/couches area.ShippingI received item in 2 days- very fast. Item was very well packaged with lights, adapter/cords and remote. Remote had plastic inserted to save battery life.Installation:The pliable wire was PERFECT for all the ideas I had for these lights! I didn't know EXACTLY what I wanted to do but I knew that I'd play around and figure it out as I went along. Well, I ended up hanging these lights at intersection of ceiling and walls in gym area about 400 sq. I just used regular tape every few feet because I wasn't sure if I wanted to really commit or even if I had enough to string around the room. It ended up that I had the perfect amount and the tape was a fairly good solution (every now and then I have to retape a piece). It is good enough for my use case but I love this look so much I may consider doing something stronger. We will see!ConsI really don't have any cons!Review:I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE these lights. I know it's silly to love lighting but I spent weeks doing a basement renovation for my young boys and everyone that goes to their cave comments on the these lights and how it changes the whole look of the room. It's bright enough to really light the room and it makes the room feel special. It adds nice warmth to the room as opposed to it being super bright/white. We loved it so much I ended up buying another set to complete the rest of the basement open space in the same way! I even really am appreciative of the remote working for both sets.Tip:I automated these lights on my own. I worried, because it was in the basement, that my kids would leave them on all the time because I do not go down there all the time. So, what I did was I got a Wemo outlet plug (Wemo Mini Smart Plug, Wi-Fi Enabled, Works with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant that works with Alexa and Google Home. So I plugged these lights into that Wemo outlet and now I have the option to automate in 2 ways.1. When we go to the basement my kids say OK Google during on DECO Lights and all these lights go on with their voice. (You have to have a Alexa or Google Home obviously close enough to the lights to hear!) - To connect Wemo and Google Home I used an app/web service called IFTTT where you select the services and set the series (IF Google Home hears "turn on deco lights" THEN turn on the Wemo Outlet called "Deco Lights" then I did the reverse for turning off... Deco Lights was my term- you can use any terms for naming)2. I can use my Wemo app on the phone to turn on and off from anywhere (I often check when I'm at work or in bed to ensure they are off)3. The Wemo app allows you to schedule on/off times so I scheduled this outlet to cut power at 10pm nightly (my kids are young still and in bed by then).
