Merdeco Star String Lights, 16ft/5m 50 LED Plug in String Lights Warm White Fairy Lights for Christmas/Wedding/Party Indoor and Outdoor Decoration

There are several issues with this family of lights. 1. They do not appear to be UL-Certified (there is no tag on the light set as required). They _are_ marked with the CE symbol on the control module (remote?) BUT that only counts in the European Union not elsewhere. 2. The wire gauge is too light for the North American market (and elsewhere). Sadly, we are a little rougher with stuff cause that just the way our culture is. Im not saying they need to 10 AWG but I would have gone with 20 AWG. Some reviewers mentioned getting shocked which would not surprise me at all. 3. The control module (aka, remote) does not remember the setting if one unplugs the light set and then plugs it back in later. Kinda basic function these days and all in the control software so no additional cost to fix. Surprising oversight. 4. The AC plug design is just plain wrong. The blades are only 0.040 inches thick. The spec is 0.060 inches thick; which is why many reviewers complained about plugs loose or falling out / intermittent connections / loose connections in general. For D-I-Yers who are more cogent in these matters, the blades on the plug can be tweaked a little (and JUST a LITTLE) using two pair of pliers. grab half the blade with one plier and the other half with the other plier and bend the blade just a tiny bit along the blades longitudinal axis (see photo). Remember, you are only trying to add between 1/64 inch and 1/32 inch of thickness to the blade. Too much added thickness and you can break the socket.

These are great and give off the perfect amount of light for my daughter’s room at night. The only hitch is that each time you plug them in/turn them on you have to click through several other settings to get to just regular lights. But they are great for the price!

it works perfectly and suitable for Tipi

This is a very cost effective decorative light. We used them for our HOCO and they were a beautiful setting of lights. Could use for multiple uses. Would buy again if needed.

Product worked fine for my purposes. Would suggest an off button so it wouldnt have to be unplugged when not in use.

The lights are nicely assembled...and illuminate well. The problem I have encountered, is we used the lighting for overhead built-in plant shelving (inaccessible without a ladder) in our open floor plan using a electrical outlet switch to turn the lighting on. When the wall switch is initiated, the lighting pattern is flash or something else and resets each time from the original steady on pattern set manually. If the lighting would stay at the set pattern when set, would rate higher.

These are the perfect size and are a nice warm white. Love them!

A few pieces of what looked like grass fell out of the package when I opened it. The remote looks dirty, like it’s been used before. It feels very fragile. It’ll do the trick for what I need it for. But don’t buy this as a gift for someone or something.

The lights themselves are not bad. I like the settings for it, the ‘remote’ is cheap and ugly but that is beside the point. What i am upset about is the loose plug. There is 0 grip on the plug so it literally slides out of the outlet even when it’s a good outlet and not loose. I have never received such a terrible plug in my life. I’m not shocked cuz it’s an Amazon product and they are infamous for sucking but damn that was crazy.

Super cute lights, got under neath my daughters loft bed. Love that there are different settings so you can have different settings for the lights.
