Such a Fantastic (& Cheap!) Amazon Find
These twinkle lights are programmed W/ 8 settings & can be dimmed or made brighter, depending upon preference {*see submitted photos for lowest & brightest options*}. Just a warning: when the lights are dimmed, a feedback sound can be heard which becomes louder as you continue to dim. This was heard when standing right beside/holding the lights as I was testing all the features out so if you’re hanging them up high then it might not be that noticeable, if at all.
I did notice that the lights would not continue W/ the last used setting if unpluged from power source & plugged back in—not a big deal since the remote has numbered buttons & the setting you want can easily be selected. To be honest, I never even used the remote’s on/off switches since I preferred to remove the plug from the wall outlet completely when shutting off my Halloween display late at night. If the remote switch is used, the lights might turn on in the setting last used. I also never attempted to figure out the timer option on the remote since there were no instructions provided, but I bet that info can be found online if you actually want to use that feature.
The USB end has to be plugged into an adapter so that the lights can be connected to a power source (which I was already aware of from the listing & reviews). It can also be plugged into a laptop, a charging dock, or any other device W/ a USB port.
The length is amazing! I bought them to use in my apartment’s Halloween window display, but I can also use them at Christmas around my mini tree (or even just to feature light in my everyday home decor). I’ll definitely get a lot of use out of them!
Overall, I’m very happy! Considering the great price & quick Prime shipping, these twinkle lights were a fantastic find.
