The lighting, or lack of lighting, in a party space does a lot to convey a mood and the feeling of the party. The Flamingo String Lights are great for hanging anywhere your choose for a added touch of not only color but also a touch more of light. The lights do require 2 AA batteries that are not included in the purchase of this item. There is a total of 10 flamingos per lighting strand and spans a total of 6 feet long. This item comes in a pack of 12. These look great hanging at any luau themed party or even a tropical celebration. Just imagine how great these would look matching with people dressed in hula skirts and colorful floral leis! Be sure to get your lights in bulk. The more you have strung throughout the celebration the better!
