First time using lightailing and it was not the best experience. I thought since the lights were already attached together, it would be easier. However, it really does create a bit of a mess since a lot of the wires seem too long and needs to be wrapped around a lot. Also like a lot of the reviews say, the instructions are quite bad. And like another reviewer on here, I just decided not to use the instructions mostly. The overall lighting is very nice - but the lightstrip on the tree should be a bit softer.
