I bought this product to potentially backpack with on my hammock set-up. Well, I got the chance to use it at our cub scout Adventure Camp outing earlier this week. I read all of the reviews, good and bad before buying this product so I would be prepared with its durability and practicality. Superb product. Extremely long for what I needed, but perfectly fine, I will find uses for the length as I become more accustomed to it. While the on/off button on the bottom can easily be turned on by accident in your pack or on the counter while packing up and waste your batteries, it made it VERY easy to turn on and off through my hammock's bug net while I was camping. I read someone said it wasn't waterproof as it may have claimed it was, but you wouldn't believe Mother Nature put that to the test this past week! Goodness, just minutes after we finished setting up our unit's tents (and me my hammock), the skies opened up and with thunderous booms and I swear Niagra Falls of rainstorms; system after system for the next 3-4 hours. Our campsites were flooded and our tents SOAKED (except my hammock and my items under the ridgeline tarp, of course)! No worse for wear, the scouts and parents dried out that evening as best we could and we continued on with our camping trip. Not only did the roll and spanned length of lights still work that evening though the paracord sheath was soaked, it continued to work each evening of the campout- the whole rest of the trip. I even had it on for over 10 hours on night 3 because my young son wanted it on. Grade A, top notch work guys! I would love to see a 9 or 10 ft length of this exact product, with the bulbs closer together along the string if possible, available for those of us who try to count packed weight on trips and only need the length of our hammocks. Also, I would have ordered a natural or warmer white (not straight-up yellow, but a softer white light) if it were available rather than bright white for my eyes as I struggle with migraines often (I used to live by bright-white lights only because I'm an artist and I love seeing more accurate, vibrant colors in everything around me). The overall brightness amounted to a low glow enough to see my stuff, but not bright enough to read by. I may double- or triple-back the strung length of my hammock in the future to get more light from it. Perfect so as not to detract the nighttime experience from other campers under the stars... or if anyone was trying to sleep). I am extremely impressed and happy with this product and look forward to improvements if and when they consider newer or different versions of it. Those are my thoughts and suggestions and I hope it helps others with their purchase.

These are great! They are easy to put up above your hammock, and offer a beautiful ambiance at your camp (or backyard!). They do not come with batteries

Love these! They’re longer than I expected which is nice as it gives you more flexibility in terms of spacing between trees or objects, we actually used them over our tents as porch lights. And there’s more lights than I thought, once it’s dark, the string really lights up and they’re built into the cord so more durable

I did love this but, after about 7 to 10 uses there was a short in the wire somewhere. The best I could get out of it after a week was very dim blinking... Even with fresh batteries.

There are plenty of lights and they provide dim light that is plenty to see inside your hammock in the dark. The cordage can be doubled back and locked in to place on the spool. Fantastic buy. Will be buying a future set!

Cute concept for portable string lights. Definitely more for just decoration and not usable lighting. They are not bright at all. I have another set of string lights that I use for camping and they actually can be used for lighting when you need it. I was hoping this would be similar but it isn't.That being said I do like them. They add a nice atmosphere to wherever you string them up. I'm not sure about longevity because the set up does seem a bit fragile to me, but I'm sure if you are careful with them they will last a long time.They take three AA batteries which I like. I know, old school. I use rechargeable batteries quite a bit in other things around the house so I have spares around. I'm still on the fence about everything having built in batteries these days because I've had them go bad in things before and then it's just trash. Built in batteries are great and convenient......until they aren't! Plus it's just one less charging cord to keep track of.I'm giving them 4 stars instead of 5 just because they don't seem like they would take a lot of abuse. But it is a nice and different take on all the string lights I've seen out there.

We were looking for a portable outdoor light that gave enough light to see dice. Our first attempt was to wrap it around the legs of an outdoor glass table but, while it does look cool like that, this isn’t bright enough to illuminate the top of dice. Second attempt, we stuck a pole through the umbrella hole and wrapped the light up the pole. This worked for our purposes (see photo)A few things to note:- It takes batteries that fit inside the spool for power (see photo). It comes with a carabiner to hang the spool, which makes this work pretty well. In the second photo, you can see we used the carabiner to hang it under the center of the table.- The “paracord” is a thin mesh netting. The resulting width is about the size of a thick shoelace. We haven’t had any issues yet, but be careful not to twist it too much because it will definitely create kinks in the rope.- This is not waterproof so keep that in mind if you live, or are camping in, a wet region. You’ll need to keep the spool dry.Overall, while it’s not the brightest light, it does put out enough that would be sufficient in a hammock. It works best if the lights are double or tripled up. I forgot how annoying batteries are to keep on hand and replace, so personally I’d go for a rechargeable option if I bought something like this again.As a regular Amazon consumer, I depend on reviews to make my buying choices. As a Vine reviewer, I give honest reviews in hopes they can help you make informed purchases of new products.
