Description: This set of lights would fail most countries electrical safety tests, but is very typical of the grey imports from China. With its ultra thin copper coated aluminium flex, very simple power supply and mains referenced LED string with resistors being run well above their normal rating, it makes me wonder if it's just naivety of the designer or if they want to hasten the failure of the product for future sales. These WILL work on 120V, running at lower current and with cooler resistors. I've tested that and they still give a good effect. Note that these lights are not safe for use within reach of pets or children. They should also be used with a fused adaptor with a low current fuse. Other than that's they're quite nice lights and probably worth getting for the caps alone, which emit a nice pattern of dots. The two colour alternating LEDs are very common in these products.
