As soon as we unpacked the lights, we couldn’t help but feel that the “Rainy” effect was hideous. We are tired of seeing Christmas lights that are supposed to imitate natural weather occurrences like icicles and now rain. So before we put these lights to use, we stripped every LED of it’s ugly-cap, and in doing so, we found the next problem. It appears that every strand of LEDs are tied to the main cord by small tie-wraps that have had their excess straps cut off.
Because the tie-wraps have been cut, it has left small sharp pieces of plastic along the main cord, which almost cut our fingers, like a million times.
