Yeah. I had this happen as well. I bought a wreath last year on one of the TSV's (I think it was.) Wreath with little lights, plus ball ornaments. It's a pretty wreath but the lights were useless and half out, and the battery pack is difficult to stow behind the wreath out of sight.
I got the red and green one and kept it in my office. We put it up on the wall every year and it's quite nice, but we don't bother with the lights. I would not repurchase.
