Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I was hesitant about buying these lights because some people complained that when you string them together, there is not enough power from the transformer to light up more than one string. Indeed, I found that to be the case when I joined my second string. However, i tried pushing the plug connection tighter together, and with a little manipulation, the second string of lights did light up! Similar problems happened with each successive string, but in the end, all 5 strings lit up brightly (see my video). In my case, what I needed to do was push the plugs in REAL TIGHT to make the added string light up. Also, the icicles are all powered by its own IC chip. So while they will all start blinking at the same time, they will eventually go out of sync to produce a random pattern like in my video. Finally, make sure the transformer is protected from the elements - it is not waterproof. I will have to wait till it rains to see how the “icicles” fare.
