Anpro2 in 1 Camping String Lights, 32.8 Ft String with Warm White 132 LEDs, USB Rechargeable with Remote Control, Adjustable Brightness, 6 Light Modes, Portable Camping Light for Outdoor, Decoration

The media could not be loaded. This is such a cool and functional idea. I'm a big camper and while I have a young family and took some years off, I see this as a great and versatile tool for most campers or backyard parties and even power outages!When it's all in the spool, it can act as a single light source but you can start to unwind the stand and hang it around places or objects to spread more light or make for a nice little accent. I haven't yet tried it in my 10x10 pop up but that could be a great and easy use for this or provide some light outdoors and where you may not have a outlet to plug in and run other lights from.Most recently we had a power outage during a bad storm and as it got dark out, this helped in illuminating an entire room - enough for my kids to see and play with some toys. It wouldn't have been conducive to say arts & crafts or puzzles since it wouldn't be that bright, but I clung it on a curtain rod and ran probably 20 ft of the cable around the room over pictures mounted on walls and other objects and it was a simple setup and clean up when the power was restored.It's USB-C rechargeable which is convenient and means you can charge it in places like your car when on the go! I love how there is a little collapsible crank to help winding this back up. It seems to wind up just fine but I can say it could be wound up a bit loosely (I think) which results in a time or 2 where it may feel a bit stuck when trying to roll out the next time. So just be aware of that and try and ensure it's wound without too much slack inside.The buttons are on the back are easy to use. Adjusting a brightness level and cycling through blink mode and red blinking. The other button is for a sleep timer so it's nice to be able to set it and forget it if you want it to automatically turn off after 4,6, or 8 hours. I wouldn't let kids play with this however because I would imagine they would damage the thin and perhaps frail wire or jam it up.

We were doing a popup market a few weeks ago, where my wife makes and sells crocheted pumpkins and other Fall items. It was in a beautiful mountain lakeside park, which was great during the day, but they didn't have city lighting once the sun went down, and it got dark fast and thick.When I saw this, I immediately jumped at it, as it really provides a solution for those kinds of moments. It comes in a chargeable spool, which has all the buttons and options there. Easy clip pulls out the string, and to get it back in there's a rotating handle to real it back. Takes a bit of time to charge fully (I've been spoiled by fast charging usb-c so am surprising when usb-c charges slower) but lasts a long time. Great for camping, markets, outdoors, when you want easy lighting without bother or permanent attachment. Very pleased.

This is a review for the Anpro 2 in 1 Camping String Lights, 32.8 Ft String with Warm White 132 LEDs, USB Rechargeable with Remote Control, Adjustable Brightness, 6 Light Modes, Portable Camping Light for Outdoor, Decoration: this is a fun little light with a wonderfully soft, warm color temp that's great for camping or situations where you want that ambience but on a string light. Love how easy it is to deploy and setup, and the different modes and intensities depending on how much light you need.That being said, this would be a great accessory light, but not a super bright primary camp light to fill the space for reading or whatnot. Also, the include controller works straight out of the box, but the RF/range and angle for the use is a bit finicky. We've found that the controller works best if you can aim it (line of sight) to the TOP where the buttons are, which is unfortunate, because if it's hanging from that side, the controller doesn't work/can't get to the sensor. Strange design, but it's a value-add anyhow.

One of the most frustrating things about fairy lights and rope lights is how to store them, they are just so unwieldy. This coil pack is just the best, I love unwinding and winding it. The warm white color is so cheery and not obnoxious at all, perfect for campsites. I don't think I'd use this as a puck light despite the several modes, as it's not super duper bright and I have a lantern and head lamp for that. But I'm really excited to have this nicely designed little package to string lights up anytime and charge them without needing batteries. The remote control seems gratuitous and it's more likely I'll lose it than anything else. But I guess it's a nice gesture. :)

I like the convenient spool for storing and for assembling the lights through the campsite. This makes for a good safety feature / visibility around the site, and it makes the area more festive. Rustic camping can be a fun time, but having a light source without having to carry a flashlight in camp is even better.
