White LED Christmas lights are great – 30-LED 3M Battery Powered Christmas Light (White LED 3xAA) Reviews

Involvement:General (knows how to use it) - Ownership:more than 1 month

Pros:
Fairly solid construction, good bright lights, easy-to-use power source.
Cons:
The light is quite blue. For photography, this means you can really only use one light source or you have to gel your other light sources to match the light. Not a huge problem, but still, it says "white."
Other:
I used these lights for a DIY macro ringlight that I built out of a cake pan. They work quite well at close ranges, which is fine for macro photography, and my camera can adjust for the blue tinge of the light.
Bottomline:
Great product, portable, good for DIY projects. I have yet to test battery life.
