LED Rope Lights - USB String Lights LED Waterproof Strips Lantern for Camping, Hiking, Safety, Emergencies Outdoor Activities by HOZILIFE (Daylight White)

So I actually already owned a real Lumen Noodle, and I like it. I've used it on a couple of hiking trips and it really is quite a nifty thing. It is waterproof, throws out a lot of area light, doesn't weigh much or take a lot of space in my pack. I thought I'd pick up a couple more, but they are kind of expensive, so I rolled the dice with this knock-off instead.This really is a blatant copy of the original, at about half the price. And yes, you can definitely tell it is a knockoff. This one rattles inside its protective sleeve rather than being bonded securely to it, like the original. The wire hook you use to hang it up on stuff is weaker and more likely to break, and it also has a gap at the very end that could let water in so it is less water resistant.But what it does have going for it is that it is a warm white light, which is ultimately a lot more pleasant, overall than the cool white of the original, at least to my eyes. And it does exactly what the original does. You can set it up anywhere, or stuff it in the bag it comes in to turn the bag into a lantern, and it throws out a lot of light either way.So should you spring for the real one or would you be ok with this knockoff? I would say that if you want something that will hold up better to rough service, like extended backpacking, I would spring for the original, it is pretty clearly better made. On the other hand, if you want this for the occasional power outage or tailgate party, I'd go with this cheaper one. As long as you have modest expectations for this, it is fine.

I bought this to string on hammock ridge line inside bug net. However, before even using i TRIED TOO plug it into several external cell phone recharge batteries. The male USB end was made of plastic and was WAY to thick and WIDE to fit into the USB ports on battery. I WAS able to get it into a cheap small 300mAh external battery (one you carry in pocket) and the lights were bright (i got the soft white light version). Too bad the USB end was too big. Gave 2 stars because they DID light, they DID NOT fall apart like reviews said, and were bright. But SOMEONE at this company needs to test ehri own stuff before the sell it.

Very bright LED strip! I personally find the color a bit too white (I wish it was a bit warmer) but it's definitely very bright, maybe even a bit too bright. I hooked it up to my Mophie Powerstation battery (as displayed in the picture) and it was on for hours without the LED strip getting too hot.

This rope light is as described but connection by usb detaches from rope light with a little bit of tension.

Not quite as described.I ordered the daylight version and what I received has 2/3 daylight and 1/3 warm white.As in, 1 out of 3 LEDs are yellow / warm white. That being said, its got the daylight glow to it but I can totally see the yellow bulbs and it drives me nuts.About to go camping and plan on using this with a 10000mAh power bank. Hopefully it lasts the trip.

I really like these lights so much so I bought a second set. Easy to use as long as you have a USB source of power. I use the storage batteries commonly used to recharge smart phones and tablets. I use the lights for many temporary lighting conditions like inside tent when camping, around camp site, during over night trips in small sail boat and I keep one in my truck, with a small USB battery, for night emergencies. I think a really good product for a reasonable price.

All in all very good quality And definitely good value It throws off a nice even amount of light and isn’t blinding when you look at it I am a light nerd and this thing is definitely cool

Great set up. Be aware that this is very bright. For camping I think I would go with the Warm light instead. Works great attached to my awning.
