I love twinkle lights! I decorate my house, inside and out, with strands and strands of lights during Christmas. I also hang lights in my living room for each holiday or season throughout the year. To save money and make my décor more eco-friendly, I have been switching out my conventional strands with LED lights. LED lights cost significantly less to power, which saves me money throughout the year and helps save the planet. Thus, when recently offered the chance to review a strand of LED starry string lights from Oak Leaf in exchange for my honest opinion, I eagerly accepted the opportunity to add more twinkling lights to my home.
Price
The Oak Leaf LED starry string lights currently retail for $56.99 with a sale price of $14.99 on Amazon. I find the full price a bit high, but, with 120 individual LED lights, the current sale price is reasonable. I have purchased other LED twinkle lights for roughly the same price. I love the flexibility of the thin copper wire of these lights, which makes this strand great for craft and decorating projects, so I would definitely buy more at the sale price. I used mine to light up a small Christmas tree, and I will consider purchasing more from Oak Leaf for future holiday projects.
Design
The plug-in, non-battery LED starry string lights from Oak Leaf come in red, green, yellow, blue, and purple lights. I really love the addition of the purple, which is not common in most of the other light strands that I own. With 120 individual LEDs and waterproof copper wire, these premium multi-color lights have a lifespan of over 25 years. LEDs also require less energy to power than conventional lights and are thus more eco-friendly. Oak Leaf lights are guaranteed with CE certification. This strand of lights measures 39.2 feet long. Thin and flexible, the copper wire is low power and heat insulated to prevent overheating during usage. Crafted from high-quality copper, the set is designed for both indoors and outdoors. The waterproof power adapter comes separately from the lights but is easy to connect. Simply insert the cord into the adapter, targeting the two tiny holes. I had no problem quickly and easily attaching the adapter to the lights. Oak Leaf offers a 100% satisfaction guarantee.
Performance
Using the Oak Leaf LED starry string lights is incredibly easy. The thin copper wire makes this strand easy to shape and even easier to store. Oak Leaf recommends using the lights to create a magical lighting experience for your house, garden, or office by wrap the strand around plants or patio furniture in your garden or even around and behind artwork in your home. I decided to use my strand to light a small Christmas tree that I acquired a few years ago but had yet to decorate. The wire was easy to thread throughout the branches, and the lights were easy to place. I love that the copper wire blends into the tree more than the thicker wires of other lights in my collection. The lights also glow brightly, creating an absolutely beautiful addition to my holiday décor. I love creating small, lit-up decorations for the holidays, and the LED starry string lights from Oak Leaf are perfect for smaller and more delicate projects.
Although I decided to permanently attach my strand of lights to my small Christmas tree, storing the Oak Leaf LED starry string lights is a breeze. Because of the thin copper wire, the strand rolls up more compactly than lights with coated wires. You could rewind the lights after use and put the rolled up strand back in the box, which measures 3.25 by 3.25 by 2.25 inches. You could store dozens of these lights in a very small space after the holidays!
I love the soft glow of the LED starry string lights from Oak Leaf. Even with 120 individual lights, the LEDs are less intense and more pleasant on the eyes than conventional bulbs. As I already mentioned, I really love the purple. Most of my other strands of lights lack purple, so the inclusion of the color is a huge bonus for me. My son also loves these lights. As soon as I plugged the strand in, he ran up to me and enthusiastically said, “Ooh!” The Oak Leaf LED starry string lights are mom and toddler approved!
