These lights worked fine, but, I will note that they possibly used too much battery at full brightness. I did have to replace the batteries part the way through the season. However, the remote has a way to dim the lights in several stages and after dimming the lights a bit, I had no other problem with battery life this season. After initial setup of the timer, the lights came on at the same time each night.Got this as a gift for someone at Haverford College in PA. Mascot is a black squirrel. Perfect for dorm room!This product was exactly what I was looking for. It was bright and easy to use and made my sister so happy to see the red birds all around her china hutch as a surprise. We are a firm believer that when we see a cardinal, we know someone from heaven is visiting so thank you.It provides warm ambient lighting. The squirrels are too small making them indistinguishable from any small, brown bulb.These brown squirrel lights are pretty darn cute! I have them wrapped around a large glass cylinder filled with nuts - visitors comment and smile! I like that they are battery operated rather than plug in. Haven’t used the remote, but that might be helpful if the lights are placed out of reach. I wonder if they could be hung in a tree outdoors in good weather? Since the lights are LED, they don’t need much battery - have been using them for a month without replacing batteries. Good price and shipping was prompt.The squirrels were smaller than I thought They would be but overall great - nice that you can use batteries OR plug into a USBTiny little lights, yes -- but they make a beautiful display! Look great hanging on my screen door outside.These lights are amazing. The remote control allows you to control fade rate, flicker rate, brightness, and so much more. It is a line of sight remote however so must be pointed at the lights to work. The LEDs are bright and the battery life is excellent.The pictures of this item make you think what you're getting is bigger when in fact they are really quite small.They are a Christmas gift so I have no other review other than, even though quite tiny, they are still cute.Arrived early and in great working condition. Works great and perfect for what the lights are needed for.They are awesome! They were a gift and she loves them!!Lovely lights with remote control. Fantastic!Very small for the price.
