String lights review I bought these to illuminate a manzanita branch used as a bed head decoration (see pictures) These are the best kind, as their copper wire is very thin and insulated with an invisible and thin coating. Unlike some that have a thick plastic coating and look like an electrical wire, these are almost invisible. The branch is 7 feet long so I estimated I would need three 30’parallel strands to dress all the branches, and it turned out to be perfect, allowing me to dress up every little branch. These use a USB power supply for power (not provided). The string is terminated with a USB dongle that holds the electronics for the lighting modes and the remote receiver. I originally bought a USB power supply with three USB ports, but the USB dongle on these light are too thick, so they would not fit all together on the USB power supply. I then decided to take a chance at rewiring these in parallel on a single of the USB dongles, and that worked great. I have the three wires all connected to a single USB dongle which is simpler and cleaner and works perfect on a single remote. I plug it in a regular USB power adapter that is 0.8Amp x 5V
