This is a nice long set which is unusual. I was able to string lights in my gazebo without having to purchase a bunch of sets. These sets come in two pieces with their own seperate controls, so you can have 2 smaller sets or one long set. The lights are really bright all the way to the end. A lot of sets get dimmer as you get further away from the power sorce. I prefer to leave mine on the constant on setting, but you have the choice of several patterns if you like. Good buy for the price!
