Longer than expected, nice led water proof lights, it's just that it doesn't comes with a remote ( so every time I have to switch it off - I gave to go in my patio and remove the connection).. but brightness is as per expectations. Overall rating 4/5Disappointed that some of the lights are burned out already I got these on June 2 and just seen a bunch of lights are out it august25 love the lights just don’t lastWe ordered these lights in lots of colors after we found that we enjoyed them so much at Christmas. It was until we took them down after being outside for a month that we can see the discoloration and rust inside most of the lights. Also, water got inside the little plastic bulb part where you plug it in and change the modes. I took the lights down and was going to throw them away since this blue strand wasn’t working at all. I heard water in the plug and that’s when I realized how water got in. I shook it while depressing the button and water cam flying out. I did that for a few days and then put a toothpick inside the button and placed it over an in-floor heating vent to try and dry the inside of the control/plug box out. It eventually worked and I can use the lights again. While the lights say they are indoor/outdoor light, I don’t trust them as outdoor lights. It’s unfortunate because we bought 6 different strands of these lights and I’m not sure how long they will actually work.Love love loveLove these lights. Being able to control the mode is great- can set it on my favorite mode. They also don't tangle up in a ball like other lights do.I like the length, and brightness of the lights.Quick turnaround from order to delivery.Didn’t come with a remote control, but serves its purpose
