December of 2020 , we purchase 3 x 10 foot strands of battery powered LED prelit Fraser Fir garland for about $175plus per strand. The garland itself is a very high quality and beautiful. Each strand has 2 light strings powered by 2 seperate battery packs each using 4 AA batterys. This year 2 of the strands each have 1 string that will NOT light up. I called Balsm Fir and was told the guarantee on these garland was 30 days, and they could do nothing for us, and they had no idea what was wrong with them. The rep told me that some people ( other saps who spent mucho$$$ ) simply restring the strand with their own lights.$500-$600 for prelit Garland that lasts about 3 years is a rip off.Unless you want high quality garland with lights that will stop working in 3/4 years go some where else. poor value
