Despite many negative reviews of this article, including an electrician, I dared to order this item because it has pleased me in the photo as well and have not looked back. There are very bright and vibrant colors and the modes are varied. I've tried out all and chose the function shafts (from outside to inside in the AC). The duration of blinking can one go with the times already on the mind. However, I had difficulty fitting this circle of 1.20 m diameter. To save space, I decided to halve the circle ie the central metal ring I fastened on the wall and the 15 strands I fixed down. So I now have a semi-circle and I have to say: It looks fantastic. As beautiful as the fairy lights is also I would strongly advise against it this out to use. But it is really not appropriate. This is suggested, that the light string is provided only with a primitive flat plug - so no transformer, as is required for outdoor lights. I have to agree with the electrician: Where the "CE mark" comes from, I wonder also. When attaching the chain of lights indoors only I do not see too many problems - but in no way out! ! ! Otherwise, I can recommend the fairy lights especially for this unbeatable price and the design is also something else.
