Product: PABIPABI 200 count hexagonal bead fairy lights, warm white)The PROs:- Superior faceted look that makes the lights sparkle like sunlight hitting fresh snow instead of just kind of glow- Way brighter than 3 other brands I tried (not technically more light, but the facets provide more intensity at points)The CON:- (only one) No female connector on the end to allow stringing them together.My story:My pre-lit incandescent mini-light Christmas tree is on it's last leg, but I don't like creating garbage and the tree itself is still fine. This year, I decided to find the perfect LED lights for it and re-string the whole tree. Plus, I've always loved how many lights it had on it (1700!!) and it's hard to find a replacement for anything less than $800.In my search for the perfect LED, I was concerned about light count, brightness, and total length since I need enough wire to wrap around the branches.I ended up buying 4 different kinds/brands:1. KNONEW, clear wire, straight strand, circular bead2. XUNXMAS, green wire, straight strand, circular bead3. Ollny, clear wire, "curtain" strand, circular bead4. This PABIPABI, green wire, straight strand, hexagonal beadMy Comparison:The Ollny curtain lights were interesting because I figured it'd be easy to run the "curtain" up the trunk of the tree and have each 10-foot line go down the branches. Unfortunately, that strand 1) was USB powered only so I'd have to get a slew of transformers and 2) was WAY TOO DIM (likely due to the USB power delivery).The KNONEW lights with the clear wiring output the most total light. I believe the clear wrapping prevented absorption so light emanated from all sides of the LED, whereas the green wrapped strands will absorb light coming off the sides and bottom of the LED. However, I found the clear wiring simply too obvious when wrapped around the branches. It made the tree look something more like a Star Trek tree alien. These lights would make a great room decoration, however.The XUNXMAS strands were my top choice for a while. They were bright (enough) and the wire was difficult to see in the tree. Plus, it had a female connector on the end, so I could connect many strands together on a single transformer/plug.Then, I happened upon this product and was intrigued by the hexagonal beads. Comparing my mini-lights with the round-bead LEDs, it was obvious that mini lights are omni-directional while the LEDs have bright and dark angles. The round bead end up putting out a conical shape where the light is most intense. If you were to position them perpendicular to a wall, you'd see it looks like a circle, and other angles they cast parabolas.These hexagonal bead lights however just handle the optics correctly. LEDs will not be omni-directional ever, so the hexagonal bead chooses to focus the light in 7 "beams". It's like the conical output, except as a "wireframe". The end result is as you move around the tree, each light "jumps out at you" as you hit it's bright spots. While that sounds like less light, it gives the lights a magical SPARKLE that is perfect for the holidays.(I'm still working on my tree and neglected to take pictures of the other strands. A bit later I'll restring those strands and take some comparison pictures.)

I love the look of these lights. The lenses really work to give a great effect, especially in the snow. I have 2 complaints to make this 4 stars instead of 5. The major complaint is that the description said these daisy chained together when I bought them. The instructions that came with the lights says the light strands connect end to end and shows you how to connect them. The strands DO NOT CONNECT!!! My 2nd complaint is the timing of the patterns varies between strands. I have 2 strands in the bushes in front of my picture window and I can't run them on any mode that has multiple patterns because they don't stayed matched up and it just looks bad. If they daisy chained like it says they do this wouldn't be an issue. Both strands are plugged in to the same outlet on the same timer. That being said the solid multi color mode and the twinkle mode both are very nice and look fantastic.

One of the strings didn’t work, I contacted the company and 2 days they responded asking me to take a video. It was days before Christmas, I didn’t have time to take a video, send it and wait a couple days for a response. The lights didn’t work! They were broke! Refund or replace! I never got a response and had to replace with the lights with multi color. Disappointed!

I was looking for lights that would work as outdoor Christmas lights. I was very pleased with the brightness of these and the different fun modes. Unfortunately after only 2 weeks of use one of the 2 strands I bought completely stopped working so now I have Christmas lights hanging from my roof that don't even light up.

We had purchased 6 strands and two have flat out failed after lights have been up for only 10 days, the third lost the brightness of 2 of the 4 colors, essentially making only half work. For not even being up for a full 2 weeks is just down right unacceptable. Very unfortunate as the other three do look great but I would highly recommend spending your money elsewhere with better durability.

The media could not be loaded.  These might be the best set of lights I have purchased! They are bright, durable, and have multiple settings. When I received them, I could tell immediately they were of high quality. Just holding them they feel strong and durable. And when they are on at night, they easliy light up the sidewalk. Very impressed with them! They had connections at the ends where you can attach more than one string of lights. Very quality connections that screw in to make a snug fit. They have been through a few rain showers and have not missed a beat. If you want colored bright lights that will do multiple things, these are the ones you want. I'm glad I decided on these and not others! Awesome lights!

Opened the small box and was a little concerned if these light would meet our needs. They are small but really light up and have different settings. Still have them up on our house and still enjoying the pretty lights. Well worth the purchase.
