Until the power runs out, I guess :sunglasses:

To be fair, Deeky. I've purchased two sets of these today and I've put them down either side of the drive this evening. They're nice and bright and do look really good.

They've been up 90 minutes and I haven't changed the batteries once :man::smile:

Unfortunately the discount code HOME25 to get 25% off has expired (£7.99-25%=£5.99) , so that just proved that retailers are putting their prices up and then issuing discount codes to make us feel that we are getting excellent deal....

Light up your life...



:laughing:

Took my 4 lights back for a refund. It only stays on for 8 hours. I put it on at 5 pm and damn things switches itself off at 2 am,. I want it to stay on until 6 am, plus as it's battery operated after a few days they light is not as bright as when a new battery is used. From now on I will stick with mains operated outdoor lights as they are more reliable.

Thanks for providing this information :smiley: There was stock still available when this post was expired, but some on here will expire a deal just because there was no stock available locally.

Also available in Ashington, Berwick upon Tweed and York Piccadilly

Still; one or two of these available. For instance if you live in Hawick in the Scottish Borders there seem to be some still in stock.

Deal is no longer valid

DeD

Very good :smiley: heat added!

They're still popping up at various stores, probably failed collections. Just got one at Harrow and one at Harlesden...

Ordered, Thanks.

Out of stock most places

Someone expire this already.

Does anyone know of any way to override the timer? Can they be set to just stay on indefinitely?

Sorry you haven’t been able to find stock locally. :disappointed: If you check stock levels on ****.CO.UK you will find stock is still available in other parts of the UK

Sorry not allowed to post site name. (Google is your Friend )

Happened to me too... going back for a refund when I get the chance. Shame.

You will be pleased to know that the length of this product remains constant from first light until darkness!

no stock anywhere now

LMAO

Bought two of the multi coloured yesterday. They are very bright. Was going to put a set on my indoor Christmas tree but on my days off would want the lights on all day and evening so 6 hrs would not be enough. Ideal for outside though.

All sold out here.

Would have liked some to brighten up my desk at work.

They are great, look good also no more plugs in sockets for me. Got a grandson toddling about and anything that's dangerous he seems to go for so battery operated fits the bill.
Thought they would be rubbish but they aren't.

I know yeah...I have to either
(a) walk to the end of my garden, unscrew the case and take the batteries out (most likely in pouring rain with no torch and a steak knife to undo the screws) take them inside and charge them, take them back, blah blah blah
Or
(b) run power to the end of my garden

Batteries ftw

Edit: sorry. Thanks OP these are great :smiley:

Great lights. Thanks op.

Just cancelled two I had on fast track at staples corner, hopefully someone on here can get them.

I'm Irish and having a good chuckle at your comment.

Thank you! Ordered for collection tomorrow-Great deal :smiley:

A read through this thread is enough to make anyone despair about the intelligence/education of the average Brit! :confused:

Well, they were all sold out but I added the 200 colour changing berry lights which were reduced and refreshed and woo, a couple of them came back into stock. I really needed some battery ones and was about to order for more elsewhere. Thanks!!

​You switch them on and they stay on for 6 and go off for 18 (HOURS) automatically until battery's die

Plugged into the mains?

Poo. Just got home with mine and only every second light works (in all modes, before you ask). So, I've only got 100 lights :disappointed:

Even cheaper for me

Brill thanks for replying, I'm off to pick up my reserved set.

There are 4 screws that keep the case together with a rubber seal all the way round. They should be fine.

This might sound really thick, but how are you supposed to keep the batteries dry outside. I know they'll be in the plastic covering but is this enough to protect from snow and rain etc.

OOS in norn iron it would appear :disappointed:

We have several sets of battery operated lights and as Poundland sell packs of 15/18 it's a no brainer. We change them weekly.

Great..... reserved mine @ 5.99...collected & charged 4.99
Thanks op

Expired

Chavtastic!

Think I managed to grab the last set available within 40 miles of Bourenmouth. Thanks OP

oos near me but great deal

Great deal gazz :smiley:

Still in stock at a few places

some in Morecambe and Kendal too, just reserved some

Stock is very limited but still available, I’ve also asked for this to be unexpired ?
http://www.****.co.uk

​and Peterborough..

some left in Brixton

Grabbed the last set at my boyfriends local store, thanks op!

sold out everywhere :disappointed:

OOS on eBay and Argos website and none locally to me of any of the 3 colours.

I would recommend a charger :smiley:

Assuming I haven't missed the humour here, how do said rechargables get charge?

Looks like they are OOS many places now.

​There is only 1 bulb every 10cm?!

...that's what she said...




...or maybe not :laughing:

Now that’s funny :laughing:

Light up your life...



:laughing:

:laughing:

:laughing:

I'm going to get 4 sets and make my ride longer :laughing: seasons greeting to you too gazz :smile:

Season’s greetings :neutral_face::laughing:

Cheers gazz, just what I need...



...Happy holidays :laughing:

20.3m :smiley:

​I wasn't going to get these as I didn't have a use but this is a great idea. Item shows as 0.4m lead length which can't be right. Can someone check and report back please. I'm guessing more like 5m?

Ordered thank you.

To be fair, Deeky. I've purchased two sets of these today and I've put them down either side of the drive this evening. They're nice and bright and do look really good.

They've been up 90 minutes and I haven't changed the batteries once :man::smile:

I just looked at your link & didn't see that bit x

Have these around our tree, last year i got told off for not turning the tree lights on every day before her indoors came home with these i dont have to worry anymore.
They seem bright enough to me perfect for a christmas tree.

Ordered 4 sets to be delivered tomorrow. Even delivery was free! Bargain! Thanks OP.

Fannying around? Turning a switch on and off? Or opening the control box to change the batteries every 5 minutes?

oos for me

I had some last year, they lasted at least a week, depends on the quality of he batteries tho

thanks op

Multi function means all the different sequences...flashing, static etc

not exactly multi function, they light up thats it.

Thanks. Bought some to use as under-car neons.

Sold out on eBay link :smiley:

Folks the 9.99 mains operated ones are fabulous - and you get 240 instead of 200. Bought two packs yesterday and up and bright - no battery changing for me!

item not found when i went onto link

lolz :laughing:

Just ordered. Free delivery for tomorrow. Nice.
That is how retail companies work. Customers think they are always getting a great deal but the vast majority of times we ain't!!

Neither - they're inargos.

Reserved some multicoloured ones, great price.

they will email it to you if you prefer.

Clicked on link, went direct to Argos (not eBay) reserved and collected @ £5.99 per set. Good value at that price. You can get 20 static lights for a quid in certain stores..........well these work out for better value IMO. good find :smiley: heat added, thanks

Many thanks free delivery, excellent!

Ordered two, thank you.

ordered 2 packs thanks

I got 240 LED lights from B&M for £2.99!

Grand, thanks OP, wifey has been nagging that we could do with some new lights for the tree. Ordered and now off to collect :smiley:

Any rechargeable battery recommendations?

Heat added

Are these showing as being available on Ebay for anyone else?

Can see them in store but not on ebay.

I think I will use these in my Cat D car my neighbours always tell me it's an eye sore and to sell it. I'm sure this is going to make them very happy. :-)

Rechargeable batteries probably best for these lights.

bought warm white instore and multicolored for collection in 5 days. thanks

They are really small bulbs but sem bright enough. My daughter bought the smaller size and her tree is lit up like Blackpool.

Definitely battery operated

Thank you.

got free postage too - bargain!

No white left on ebay store ;(

Battery lights are never as bright as mains powered and that's even when the batteries are brand new, after a few days you'll hardly see the lights.

same price in home bargains assuming they are the same
They turn on for six hours then off for 18.
have had the same batteries in for about a week now.. still pretty bright

I bought these yesterday and so glad as I was trying to get them the previous day at £7.49. However I do not see a function to set it up on the timer unless it is a set timer from when they get switched on. But still a bargain either way.

Apparently you switch them on and they'll stay lit for 8 hours from that point. Then off for 16.
So the same pattern each day.

Good luck finding the receipt in 3 years

Just get them from Argos and add this as well. You'll be covered for 3 years.
3 Years Replacement Care on this Product £2.49

Does anyone know how to set these on the timer or whether it is automatic?
Absolutely NO instructions included with my lights.

Where do you get a 4.5v timer?

Thanks for responding - definitely account specific as I got
Uh-oh!
There seems to be a problem.! Ah well worth a try1 Thanks again

HOW DO YOU ACCESS THIS - IS IT ACCOUNT SPECIFIC?

Both :smiley:

I got some other batteries ones and there so dim compared to mains powered ones

Cheers OP, very tempting, already got a few lights last week from there sale, but these would be ideal for a small tree at the side of the house.

I'd be interested to know how long these last on batteries

thanks

thanks

Just picked mine up and they're defo battery. 3xAA.

I have some similar ones and they are really quite clever... just press the on button at the time I want them to go on and then just leave them to it until after Christmas. They automatically turn themselves off after a while and then back on again at the same time every day until manually turned off. Dont know if these work the same, but the controller looks very similar and so much easier than fannying around with the mains ones!

(reading the Q&A for these someone has written it comes with timer included, so its looking promising these work that way)

Are these indoors or outdoors?

Anyone got this and can post a picture to see how they look up?

It states in description they're battery operated and someone has bought them already and also said they take AA batteries

Works nicely with the 500 nectar point click and collect offer

No stock near me. £3.95 delivery charge.

For those who prefer mains operated argos also have 200 led bright white lights half price to £9.99

Used my nectar bonus click n collect for an extra 500 points, thanks OP :sunglasses:

Same price in Argos stores, I just reserved 4 for collection.

Unfortunately the discount code HOME25 to get 25% off has expired (£7.99-25%=£5.99) , so that just proved that retailers are putting their prices up and then issuing discount codes to make us feel that we are getting excellent deal....

And when you come to get them out next time, they are 200LED Malfunctioning string lights.

Looks like they are mains operated...

See Argos Q&A: http://www.argos.co.uk/product/5269578

What batteries do they use & how long do they last?

Hi, These are mains operated not battery operated.
thank you for using Argos Q and A

Was just what was needed! Reserved. Many thanks - heat added.

dont forget 11% tcb on xmas decs :wink:

Battery operate lights on a timer are great, I'd never go back to mains lights . I use rechargeable batteries on mine.

For those who got the Nectar points offer which was posted on here yesterday you can get these lights from the Argos store on Ebay as click and collect

What is the full length of these from first light? It says lead length 4m I assume this from the battery box to the first light

Thanks ordered from ebay to collect in store; mine is 100 nectar point though

Well that solved a problem!
Thanks.

They have a timer built in. When you turn them on they will stay on for 8hours and then turn themselves off for 16 hours.

I'm glad I forgot to pick these up when I had reserved them the other day! Heated added :smiley:

How does the timer work? I don't see any dials or buttons for setting time?

Reserved

fab deal

brill find cant go wrong for 5.99 for 200 lights cost a 1.00 for 20 in pound land.

Make sure you know when buying they are battery operated. Bought these yesterday and didn't realise so need to go get 3 x AA batteries.

I know people aren't stupid but it didn't cross my mind they may need batteries.

bought some nice classy multi coloured ones for my balcony :smile:
