Minetom Fairy Lights Battery Operated, 33 Feet 100 LEDs Color Changing Twinkle Lights with Remote and Lighting Modes Waterproof 3AA Battery Case String Lights for Bedroom Wedding Party Christmas

This is a review on the listing titled Smart Christmas Fairy String Lights: 33 Ft USB Bluetooth Twinkle Lights with Timer and Remote REMOTE/CONTROL These lights have a mind of their own. Theyve come on in the middle of the night. Theyve changed color/mode for no reason. But the worst is that they respond to every other remote in our house, including the most used—our Roku. We change the volume on the TV, the lights change. We pause our show on the Roku, the lights change. We use the remote on our window lights, the lights change. If the lights are off, any remote action turns them on. We essentially have to unplug them to stop them from behaving erratically. WIRE Though the listing declares that this wire is copper colored, the wire color is GOLD —not clear or silver like I had hoped. MODES/PROGRAM/APP Ill be honest; I mostly have no idea what is happening with this app. I was hoping there was a way to get a solid color to twinkle, but I havent been able to figure it out. There arent many words at all and it seems like most are much too fast. Overall, they are nice, but I wish I had more control over them and wish every remote in the house didnt control them.

To get them to work you need to point the remote directly at the battery pack, but it works with some distance. Look really nice, but tangle easily!

The remote battery compartment is difficult to work, and it doesnt work anyway! Same thing happened last year

I got these lights thinking that they would be like candles and Christmas lights that Ive owned in the past that come on for 6 or 8 hours, go off and then come on again at the same time the next day. These dont do that. The timer is just a timer to shut the lights off - they dont come back on the next day. That being said, the lights are very pretty! I got them to complement my sweet baby, Usagi, and they look great! Im happy with them, theyre just not as convenient as I thought they would be.

Overall, these are really great. So far, theyve held up pretty well and the colors are pretty. Some of the things that I think could be improved are the color selection. Some of the colors looks almost identical to each other when on the remote theyre a completely different color. Also, just to clarify, with these lights you cannot create your own colors-if you want to do that I would suggest led lights. Other then these two suggestions, I really like these lights.

The timer function worked great until I bought a second set. Then it stopped working on the first set and didn’t ever on the second. If you like the timer function, then look somewhere else for a reliable name-brand set.

love the look when youre done. hated getting it that way. the wire is stiff, which is good for making shapes, but bad for handling and detangling. remote is slow to respond. if you have several strands lit, one remote can run them all. this is good if you want them all the same, difficult if you want the strands to do different things.

If it was just the lights, I would give it 5 stars. The remote set up is ridiculous though. The color buttons and On/Off are the only ones that are easily recognizable. The rest of the buttons (Timer, Flashing, etc) are on on dark gray circles with a tad bit dark lettering. I have to shine a flashlight on the buttons (and even then it is hard to tell what the buttons on) just to be able to see them. They could have very easily used White Font or a different contrast color to make it easier to read.

I’d definitely buy these again. We actually (accidentally) left them out in the rain - with batteries… but they worked totally fine after! The battery pack may not have gotten wet, but this was at least a week after we last used them. Fun colors and many settings. I liked that you can adjust the lights on the battery compartment (in case you do not have remote).

These lights were delivered 12/31, I put them up 1/1, it is now 1/13 and the lights wouldnt stay on. Id turn them on and within 1 minute theyd shut off. It was driving me nuts, so I came to check reviews. MANY people were complaining about battery life, so I decided to change mine -- surely that wasnt it, since they are soo new and I barely turn them on. Yep!! That was the issue. They have been on for 5 minutes now without shutting off. So, these completely suck the life out of batteries, VERY quickly, and even with minimal use. Moral of this review : if youre going to purchase these, make sure to add a ton of AA batteries to your cart as well, as this takes 3 at a time!!!
