The supply line from the plug to the first lamp is 20cm appreciated and is thus clearly too short. Especially in the outdoor area where I wanted to use the Lights, one has rarely any tree an outlet ........ Supposedly yes be suitable for outdoors, the light string. But first then on the package that the plug must be protected from the weather (which is now not given in our sales outlets) and secondly the transformer makes (the part to which you can also adjust the flash programs) also does not seem to as if he would survive a rainy (cheap plastic box poorly sealed).
