After Christmas, I missed having lights on my mantle. Since the accent colors in my living room are purple and lavender I decided to try these lights. I'm so glad I did. First of all, the wires connecting the lights are clear so there's no black to try to disguise. Next, the color is a perfect lavender and they look just beautiful in the evening.
One note, when I unpacked them the looked as if they would be clear or white but plugging them in brings on the color. Also, when I did plug them in they began blinking on and off. Ugh! I checked the box and there was no remote so I was ready to send them back...did not want blinking lights! Then, on a hunch, I checked the plug - it's kind of big and bulky but in my house it's tucked away a bit so no problem there. Anyhow, there is a little button on the plug and as you press it the lights change from blinking to being on all the time. Whew - I was able to keep them after all and I just love them!
