I find this product very good delight for money. But I managed to break my first venture into this technology and my supplier – Yixikeji – immediately said “Don’t worry, we’ll replace them” and I’m pretty sure all the Chinese suppliers offering this type of product would do the same – I’ve never had quibbles about the customer service of any of them, they’re very keen to ensure you’re happy. In my case, certainly, they were very kind though I told them it was my fault; however I do know how I came to break them, so a check list, if you’re interested:1. The reels they arrive in start with the far end and though the connection end is visible, it is embedded at the centre of the reel – don’t attempt to tug it out. It’s clearly wound first onto the reel in order to protect the transformer connection, from which the triple single copper wires of the string itself emerge. The plug is relatively heavy compared to the wire and needs to be handled delicately. 2. If your trajectory for laying them out is complex – plants, pergolas, whatever – it’s best to have 2 of you do it – you will get to an object which you want to wind the string around, and then reel, wire and all need to be manhandled around the support or obstruction, and it’s far easier to hand it to someone on the other side, who then hands it back to you.3. The bulbs will snag as you unwind – tease them carefully out of the reel. Keep the slack short, otherwise you will tangle.4. The temptation is to wind the string off one side of the reel, and maybe to swap sides as you go around an obstacle. This has the effect of twisting the wire and then weakening it. Try always to reel the wire out as you would a fire hose – straight off the reel, not its side.5. I don’t know enough electricity to understand why they don’t short out! The wires are bare and constantly touch each other, but they function that way, so that’s good for me.6. The connection end must be dry and protected – perhaps jammed in a window to be led inside the house (beware: kinks may weaken the wire). Mine are in a junction box I built out of an old flower box, lined with rubber and a hinged lid, with connection to an outside flap-covered socket. These lights are high-IP, but don’t push them.7. The wire is as good as invisible once mounted – avoid trip wires for the unwary and pets. You can affix them with thumb tacks, nails or cable tidies.8. Plan the route for your purchased length: you need to be fairly sure that the connector at the centre of the reel will then reach nicely to the transformer and the mains. Don’t unravel the whole thing and start with the connector unless you have a secure way of re-reeling the entire string (back to front, so to speak). I used an old wheelbarrow wheel (without the tyre) once, and another time a small plastic box just to wrap the string around – loosely and carefully.9. I’m no great solderer, but I did try to solder one broken wire and the heat of the soldering iron simply melted the wire, so thin it is. It may be possible to use modellers’ solder paint but by far the best trick is not to break them at all!Once up and working, they are a delight, and you can combine two or more strings for a wonderful effect. Their longevity is not yet tested, and some models recommend they be illuminated only for a portion of the day and allowed to rest between “illumination shows”. Mine operate on mains and I prefer that to the solar powered ones: in the dark winter, when these lights are popular, the sunshine needed to recharge solar models can be in short supply, just when you want them to brighten up your festivities.I hope this is of some help: I recommend them warmly – great service from the supplier and a lovely effect when they’re up. Like anything technical – treat them with the respect you’d give to your car, spouse, or both.

Am besten gefällt mir, dass es eine so lange dünne Lichterkette ist und ich Sie ganz klein zusammenpacken kann. Sie nimmt nicht viel Platz weg und leuchtet sehr gut. Die Timer Funktion ist optimal, weil ich oftmals vergesse die Kette auszumachen. Ich bin sehr zufrieden.

Gute Qualität zum günstigen Preis. Die Lichterkette lässt sich einfach installieren, ich habe sie um ein Balkongitter gewickelt, Stecker rein und fertig. Seitdem habe ich eine stimmungsvolle Beleuchtung am Abend und tagsüber fällt der dünne Draht überhaupt nicht auf. Die Fernbedienung ist ebenfalls super und erspart das Bücken beim Ein- und Ausschalten. Klasse!

Das warme Licht dieser Lichterkette hat mir gut gefallen, auch die Gesamtlänge ist toll, doch die Fernbedienung reagiert nach Tageslaune, der ON-Button schaltet weder aus noch ein und das Berühren der 8 Funktionstasten (für die verschiedenen Blinkmuster) bewirkt etwas, aber auch nur nach einem Zufallsprinzip, dass ich auch nach 3 abendlichen Anschaltaktionen nicht erkannt habe. Schade drum. Ich wollte die Lichterkette an eine Zeitschaltuhr anschliessen und ruhiges Dauerlicht auf der Terrasse haben, nach dem Einschalten flackert die Lichterkette im Startmodus wie verrückt los und müsste erst wieder manuell (also manuell-aleatorisch) umgeschaltet werden.
