24 meters? You wouldn't think it was 24 meters looking at the box as its tiny, I expected something slightly bigger however it stretched out for ages and ages and once set up these are just brilliant. Very lightweight, can hardly see any wiring in the tree (not sure if they will last in wet weather), 8 different lighting modes. They are very good however they are not very bright, just about adds a nice sparkly to something and it can be a bit trickly winding it back up on the cardboard as the wiring develops kinks in it. Overall happy with it, wasn't expected much but pleasently surprised.
