This is the best rope light I’ve seen and used to date. First of all, the rope is flat, so it’s easier to hang and make design/fits flush with the surface. It also includes clips & screws to make the install more secure. It’s waterproof, so you can even hang them outside. There are so many colors and light variations to choose from!!!!! You can connect using the app or the remote it comes with. It’s easy to figure out how to adjust them, but also comes with an instruction manual so you can use them to their best ability. There are options to change the colors, adjust the brightness, shuffle the colors, make them flash, fade, etc. My favorite is the timer ability AND the fact you can make the lights “dance” with the music. It’s so cool and a little creepy how well they coordinate with sounds lol…. You can even adjust the sensitivity for it to pickup on the sounds. Super cool. My son loves them. We may need to order more :). Oh, it’s also packaged in a sturdy box that makes it easier to wrap as a gift if needed and better presentation than arriving in a clear plastic bag.
