Ollny Christmas Lights Outdoor 800LED 262FT, Cool White Plug in Fairy Light with Remote, 8 Modes Waterproof Timers Dimmable LED String Lights for Indoor House Outside Bedroom Patio Balcony

These are bright, compact and look beautiful. The remote is a great feature to. The quality is good, especially for the price. I would buy these again.

We initially put this up with command strips as a temporary installation, but the girlfriend loves it so much it's going to end up staying full time. Now I just need to figure out what I'm doing with that light fixture. All modes work as intended it's a nice neutral white with many modes to suit your taste and mood. *2024 Update* At the end of 2023 we re-set up the lights in a more permanent installation, however the control box has now stopped working entirely. In order to use the lights now, we have to uncouple that wire and directly plug the LED's into the power inverter. This means that we lose ALL control functions including the ability to turn it off and on. I have reached out to the support team in January, and while they've been quick to respond every time, it's been 6 months without full function of the lights and I've been quoted until November for replacement parts to be available.

replacing all my incandescent lights with LED and expect too see a $ savings. Nice and bright

We wanted lights that would be ✅ bright, ✅ even, ✅ adjustable, ✅ cool to the touch, and ✅ be backed up in case anything went wrong with them. So these were the perfect choice! Apologies in advance for them looking a bit "blue". They don't actually look that blue, but the camera exaggerates the color, and all white LEDs are, by nature, pushing into the high 6000k end of the color spectrum, which is full of blue light (imperceptible to the naked eye when done correctly). In person, these are definitely a blinding white; which is what we wanted. Soft off-white or "yellow white" is what we were intentionally avoiding, so we're pleased with the piercing clean white these provide! The remote control works excellently for on/off functions as well as dimming. We didn't care for the animated lighting patterns, however, as we hoped for some sort of slow, steady, alternating twinkle. The animated modes for this set are all basically slow that gets fast, fast, or solid. There is a variety though, if the lightshow effect is your thing. Not a massive deal, but a constant slow twinkle, or even a speed control on the remote would have been icing on the cake. As far as durability, these are tough, but still a little fragile. If you know what "fairy lights" are, this is literally the exact same thing - and I do mean exactly. It's just that these have a thick transparent TPU jacket over the wires, and the diodes are encased and "suspended" in what I believe is acrylic, within an elongated "capsule" of sorts distancing and isolating the diodes from the main line; presumably for weatherproofing and wear-resistance. Speaking of weatherproofing, the control module acts as a junction box between the power supply head and light string, with a very confident and secure connection method. Male ends connect to the female ends one-way via polarized plugs with good radial resistance, then a thick collar screws down over the threads to securely hold the connections together and further resist ingress. All in all, considering the price, features, etc, I highly recommend these. We did an initial layered wrap around the center pole of the tree, bottom-up to create the glow effect you see, then a dispersed, less dense, typical layering between branches - just in case anyone was wondering. For the bottom or "trunk" glow, we secured the final two bundles just under the bottom row of branches, rather than wrapping them. Final note: Our first set of these were defective or something, because they died about 2hrs of having them on, but the seller/brand sent us out a replacement quickly with absolutely no hassle! That's the kind of customer service that's makes me trust a brand and feel confident doing business with them again. So if you're worried about malfunctions or anything, at least rest easy knowing these fine people will have your back! 😁

I was optimistic about buying this Ollny light string for both the changing functions of the lights and the length of the string to run through the bushes in front of my house for Christmas. It could cover most of the bushes in one run without having to connect multiple strings, which I thought was great. After setting this up twice (I will get to that point), I would stay with shorting strands and connect them so you can replace dead sections and wrap around trees and other items more easily to secure the string. I plugged the lights in and tested and they had a great glow to them - then I went out to wrap the lights, and they looked great the first night when they came on with the timer. That lasted two days. The third day they did not light, and when I moved closer they were on but very dim. I played with the remote, reset the strand, and moved to a different outlet, but nothing restored the light. I emailed for support but did not receive a personal answer, only a link for troubleshooting which did not resolve the issue. I returned them to Amazon and got a replacement set, thinking I was just a dud. Amazon quickly sent me a replacement and return slip. The new set came and I undid the long string and replaced it with the new string (took a while which is why I would stay with shorter runs in the future). And it was great again - great light and they came on with the timers that night. Until day two. Same issue. The lights were very dim and no fiddling with electricity, remotes, or swapping power supplies would fix the problem. We are in NC so temp does not go below freezing so the elements should not have been a problem for this "outdoor set". A second dud set, no communication from the vendor, we were done. I went to Lowes and bought a store set and they worked great the first time and remained on for the season. My recommendation would be to steer clear of this light set as I had two duds - could just be unlucky on my end - but I was never contacted back so I will not know.

Love the length. I was able to wrap around our 50ft x 12ft large deck twice. The lights are very bright and seem very sturdy as well. The different settings are great. The only thing I did not like is the fact that I have to step outside to change the settings or turn it off/on. It will not work through a wall or window. (I'm lazy;-)) Update: My remote control receiver rusted (the only part that is not waterproof. Did I mention I am lazy? This part would need to be covered somehow if you plan on keeping it out in the elements. It is my fault it rusted, the instructions mention that it is not waterproof. I removed this part and now have stationary lights. Which is the setting I used the most. I like the blinking effect for holidayz. Good thing I have another reel I will make sure to place the receiver in a water tight enclosure. I would definitely buy these again! UPDATE: 12/9/2020 I did not know the remote control/timer device was not water proof :-( I disconnected it and now just have steady lights that I must manually plug and unplug. I miss being able to use the timer and change the lights from blinking and chasing. That is my mistake for not fully remembering the instructions. So, with my second set for our vacation home I put the controller in a watertight container to protect it year round. Yes, I love these lights so much I have them on year round. With the timer I have them set to go on at night when I walk my Bernese Mountain Dog. I love to walk him OFTEN and at any hour. These lights now bring even more cheer to the neighborhood during this sad Pandemic. I would totally still recommend these lights. They have been outside during Pennsyvania freezing temperatures, snow & rain storms and still going strong! Love love love 'em!

Lights were beautiful. Easy to use and packaging and shipment was perfect and fast! The Blue color was so cozy and warm! The difference settings and blinking was beautiful 😍 Highly recommended! Amazing packaging was perfect and very fast shipment

These lights seem to be of good quality; and I like that they're LED and can be connected with several strings on the same outlet without risking catastrophe. They arrived in good condition and I will be putting them outside tomorrow.
