Excellent value!!!! ThanxAbsolutely great for model making - needed something that was bright, and integrated well into my model design.Although great right out of the box I've found a couple of things really useful (though not advertised). First they still work if you cut them down to size so excess is not a problem. Secondly, if like me you don't want every led on there you can peel them off (twisting around the edge of pliers makes this effortless)... only issue is that if the exposed wires touch each other afterwards the lights wont work, but just sperate them again and they're fine.The light is really bright for 10 minutes or so, and then gets fairly dim (but still lovely). After that it does glow dimly for a good day or so.All in all very impressed and will be buying more... would have been nice to have a larger battery but would expect to pay much more.The copper wire also looks good and has plenty of strength if you want to tension it to make it tidy etc.I bought these to make shadow boxes and they are perfect ? each set of lights are in their own packet to avoid getting tangled and they have a nice glow to them - will buy more as I make more Christmas decorations ?I buy quite a lot of these sorts of sets of lights for my wife's craft hobby. Tried these ones as they were attractively priced, but this has proved to be a mistake. The battery compartments, have 4 screw holes but only have 2 screws fitted. This has meant that some sets are OK when you apply a little bit of pressure squeezing the battery compartment together but otherwise they flicker or go off.I expected that they will not work or something will be wrong with them considering the price, but they are very good. They even deliver it with batteries so it saves you the trouble and the batteries are lasting longer than expectedI bought these for my sons 21st garden party and put them in jars to hang from the tree. We’ve kept them on continuously for 10 days/nights and they are still going- though they are starting to dim now. Fantastic value for money and battery life is excellent
