I love Mini Lights, my sister got me into them a few years back. She calls them her fairy lights". Im all about ambiance, and these definitely add to it. The purple, clear or blue for sure. They are the brightest and have the best "glow". They are LED which give it that almost black light glow. I keep them up all year round. I have them strung on a sort of jutted out cross beam running across my living room separating the kitchen. They look so nice, they are not super bright so they just add a moon like glow and also I like to watch Hydro consumption and LED uses less electricity than other lights. These light are awesome as well for the patio all year round. They last a long time and I have them on all the time. I love these mini lights.
