I wanted lights for my porch ceiling that made it feel magical without lighting it up like a secret agent interrogation site like you can get with those giant Edison bulbs. I wanted to cover a certain amount of square footage by going back and forth in a zig zag pattern and this set of lights worked perfectly! I LOVE the timer feature, which magically now comes on every night at the same time. Can you tell how much I love these lights? I did my best to add a photo, but it doesn't capture how happy these fairy lights make me feel!FYI the plug/transformer is a little bulky, so I need to hang something next to the outlet to hide it. Otherwise, perfection!
