Cons & Pros
Cons:
-Doesn't come on a spool, but coiled, and the line knots up to no end if you aren't careful unpacking it.
-The remote needs DIRECT LINE OF SITE to work. You cannot hide the receiver behind a curtain or piece of furniture.
-The AC-adapter has a bright green light on it to let you know it has power, easily fixed with a piece of electrical tape.
-The AC-adapter gets pretty darn hot, and I'd be hesitant to place it in a packed surge protector.
Pros:
-This does what it's supposed to do. No complaints there. The light is perfect for ambient background illumination.
-The lights do get warm, but never hot. I wouldn't have reservations if this was touching curtains all night.
-The remote is simple and easy to use.
-The string itself is VERY pliable and easy to manage once untangled.
-The power cord/remote extension gives you a good 4-5 feet of unlit line to work with before you reach the part of the string with the lit bulbs. Makes it easier to work with and conceal.
I used it as a background light for my television and attached the string with Command Decorating Clips.
