Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

My living room in my apartment has no overhead light so it gets very dark in there. I wanted something to make it more cozy but I generally find Christmas lights very tacky and did not want a normal string of white Christmas lights. when I first got these I just hung them down the wall, but we have low ceilings so there was about a foot of each strand of lights just hanging out on the floor. I was afraid my dogs would eat them so that wouldn't do. I ended up taking each end and stapling them to the ceiling with a staple gun. It looks nicer than just putting them on the wall and gives the whole room a cozy ambiance. My only complaint is that they aren't very bright at all so it really only helps with lighting the room at night. The remote works perfectly well but you have to be very close to the plug to make it change brightness or flicker. I also really like that the brightness does change because I put it on the lowest setting at night and my dogs are now willing to sleep out there instead of piling into my too small bed, when I had no lights they wouldn't sleep out there. Overall I consider this an excellent purchase and very much worth the 17$ I paid for them
