I have tested and used many sets of copper string lights similar to these but none in a twin pack at just £7.30 per string. I selected the warm white option but a cool white version I also available.
Inside the nicely designed but simple box were the two identical string sets each with hard-wired battery box and a credit card sized remote control. A well printed and easy to read two-page User Guide is included, although it is not really needed. No batteries are included.
Each remote controls and battery box are clearly labelled with the various lighting options. There are eight static and flashing light modes available plus a single eight hours on/sixteen hours off timer.
The units are each powered by three AA batteries housed in a tough plastic box with waterproof seal and clip on catches. We are told the box is water resistant and proof against spills but no formal IP Enclosure Rating is given. I would suppose the box would be fine for normal outdoor use. It is a pity there is no socket for USB or indoor mains power adapter use. Two remotes are supplied although I was pleased to see that both strings can be controlled together from the same remote. This gives the option of using them as either one super long string or two separately.
The hardest thing about using the string is actually getting unravelled as it is supplied wound around a cardboard sheet rather than around a tube. I found it was difficult to avoid tangles and snares when getting it unwound. That task done it was easy enough to position it around a small tree in the garden. The lights look equally good when put into a decorative bottle, inside a wood burner and of course on the Christmas tree when that time comes. The lights are warm and bright and lend warmth and ambience to the room or garden.
For the current price of £14.55 for the pair, this is a great buy.
