I really like this set. The wires are clear so I can put them into my birch tree that I decorate every year in my livingroom. I've never been able to do this before because the limbs are so delicate. There are many settings on the remote, but I prefer to leave them on steady. The remote box feels pretty light weight, so I will put it somewhere that it won't get smashed. Also, I will need to put it on a timer or a remote, because the remote that comes with it doesn't have an "off" selection. You have to plug and unplug the lights to power on and off. But, other than that, the are a nice set especially for the price.
