Mainstays 50-Count Battery-Operated Warm White LED Wire Lights, 8 Modes

The Mainstays Battery-Operated Indoor 50-Count LED Multi-Color Wire Lights, with 8 Lighting Modes is the perfect set of wire lights to use around the house all year. With a lighted length of 16 ft, these indoor/outdoor lights can be used to accent seasonal decorations on the mantel or to add some ambiance to your outdoor seating area. The 8 lighting modes allow you to change the lights to meet the mood of the occasion. Since the strand is battery-operated, you won’t have to worry about being near an outlet. I set these up at my stairs. There's no light at the stairs. The lights came in handy.

I really like these small lights. You can be very creative with them and put them in a number of places - around plants, behind glass hangings, on an outside porch; anywhere you'd like soft lighting. There are 8 settings for different flashing patterns with one for continuous light. The wire is easy to string wherever you'd like it. I will buy more of these.

These lights are so cool! There are many different uses for them. I’m glad it takes batteries and not actually have to be plugged up. You can wrap these around a wreath for the front door, or wrap around a bush to add some color outside! There is so many ways you can use these. The box is waterproof so they can be used outdoors. They only problem is they can get tangled easily but not a problem to untangle.

Mainstays Indoor Battery-Operated 50-Count Wire Lights, with Multi-Color LED Lights are very festive. The colors are red, yellow, green, blue and purple, in that order. There are fifty lights in a string for 16 feet of lights. The additional foot is for the battery box that holds three AA batteries (not included) as well as the ability to change the lighting modes. There are eight modes with a timer built into each. The modes you can choose from include a combination mode that is like a fast strobe light with blinking on and off, the other modes are as described as follows: in waves, flashing, all flashing, chasing/flash, slow fade, twinkle, and steady on. I love that because when I get tired of one sequence, I can easily choose a different one. The timer for all eight modes is six hours on and eighteen hours off. If you prefer not to have a timer you can pick any mode and when you are done just turn off by long pressing the button for three seconds. The LED lights are bright, but not hard on the eyes. I especially like that these are indoor/outdoor which makes them versatile as well as not taking any electricity. I think these lights have endless ways that you can display them, because they are so lightweight, I can secure them on my ceiling beam with scotch tape. The wires are very thin and barely noticeable on my off-white background. If I must find something wrong, it would be that the mode-comb is not really a combination of all the other modes, it is too fast to distinguish each mode individually. I would like a setting that is truly a slower combination of each of the mode choices. Then it would be perfect.

I absolutely love these Mainstay battery operated lights. There are 50 count LED lights that are a warm white color. And have 8 lighting modes. I love that you don't need to use a plug in and especially no more extension cords. I have experimented with various things like a star for the Christmas tree or candles but I settled for a clear medium sized clear jar to use. It's beautiful sitting on my nightstand. I use it for a nightlight. It helps relax me to sleep. I can't wait to use it for my Christmas decor. You can use it inside or outside. It's just one of those things that you wonder what you did without it. It's great to get my grandchildren involved. It keeps them busy for hours. I really recommend these Mainstay LED light's

These are nice for short term, Lil gatherings or just a pick me up. They run on Batteries. Love multi colors. Not sure how long they'll last. They can help relax you at night. Reminds me of Christmas. Turn lights off, but light these up and relax. Put some music On. Just have 3 aa batteries. They're only for indoors, not outdoors.

The first thing to note is that the 50 lights on this very pretty, very delicate 17-foot wire string are teeny tiny, so the best use might be to decorate or surround a small accessory piece either for your holiday or everyday decor. They would be lost strung across a fireplace mantel. The individual lights are shaped like seeds. They are from Mainstays so you know the quality is good. As far as I could tell, every light was working properly. The wire is a bit of a tangled mess, so plan to spend some time straightening it out. These are battery operated LED lights, suitable for indoor or outdoor use. The battery case is quite large and requires 3 AA batteries, which are not provided. The battery case is opened by unlatching two white plastic tabs which I found quite difficult to open. It’s clear from the design of the box how it opens, but it does take some effort. With batteries inserted, you have multiple effects that you can select by scrolling through the patterns labeled on the case and depressing a white button -- ranging from steady "on" to a variety of flashing patterns and fades to a combination of all patterns. There is a built-in timer which is 6 hours on and 18 hours off. It is not adjustable, but there is an" off" button. If you like the effect of these tiny lights -- and I do -- I suggest using multiple strands to get your desired look. You will have to plan a spot to hide the battery case and use clear clips to hold the individual lights in place.

Well they are not warm white lights. The wire is double but it is very thin. Would not recommend for children to handle. Although the lights are small they do show well in darkness. I do like the different mode options but I don’t like the colorfulness of the lights. Wished it had an option to just be one color. It takes 3 double AA batteries. The battery pack is very secured and can be placed outdoors. This would be great at Christmas time.

These lights can be used for many hobby or decoration ideas. The idea that I had in mind for them did not work for me because the controller was the wrong shape and size to be mounted and hidden from sight. I did several things with them before I came up with one that I really liked. I am sure I will be finding many other uses for them. I like the multi colors when they are chasing it adds a little something extra to the display. With 50 lights and a nice length of wire you can use these and somewhat larger projects or you can bunch them up for smaller ones. Being battery operated you can use them without being tethered to an outlet or extra cord. The tiny light have little pull on the battery and I have been using the same set of batteries since I got mine and they have several hours of use on them. With 8 modes of lighting you can make them work in almost any pattern that would please you. They can add a little something extra to all kinds of projects and can give so many options to those projects.

I see these lights used in many different decorative containers and they always look so nice. My original plan was to put them in a tall clear glass vase. When I got the lights in there it didn't look so nice. I tried putting them around my fish bowls too, but wasn't impressed. If you take to the internet and search for ideas for decorating with wire lights you will get plenty of ideas. I finally decided on a decorative container I had that was meant for candles. It isn't see through but has cut outs to allow for the lights to be seen. I think my main reasons for not liking these lights in the clear vase is because the battery pack is white and somewhat bulky. Also, as much as I tried to bend the wire to give it some fullness it just keeps dropping all to the bottom. I guess I could tape it to the inside of the container to get it to stay up higher on the inside but I am fine with how it is. Important note: The lights run on a timer!
