I have googled the text, model, etc. no hits. Checked Ebay, no hits. Found this set at a local salvage store but no remote and the set does not do anything without the remote. Thought you meh people might have mehtter luck
@nasman6 They look like the lights I got at BJs Wholesale Club, maybe with less functions. I think they sell these at Costco too. Can you scan the QR code on the price sticker?
@nasman6 Considering that’s about what you’d pay for a new set in a wholesale club, you may just want to buy another set and connect them together. I checked the 8-function set I have and there is a button on the large plug that changes the color options, no remote.
A lot of those remotes use the same codes. If you find one that looks similar, there’s a pretty good chance it will at least partially work. My remote for LED candles also works on my electric fireplace and window fan, though it’s not clear what button does what.
A universal programmable remote might do the trick as well. Probably depends on if the controller is IR (Infrared), RF (radio frequency), or bluetooth. Given this is bargain store quality, I would go with IR since thats the cheapest circuitry to use. IR uses line-of-sight, so if it says something about that, then that’s your clue on the kind of remote you might need.
@mike808 It is very easy to tell if something is an IR remote just by looking at the front of it. (Also, all of those credit card-like remotes are infrared anyway :P)
That remote looks very similar to the generic ones for almost every Chinese rgb led strip kit. One from those might also work.
I’m pretty sure the lights should at least light up in the last color or the starting color without the remote though, so if it does nothing it should probably stay at the store.
@djslack yea, the lights did work but without the remote… so i left them there. I figured that I would be able to locate a set somewhere else but no luck. I was trying to get the purple twinkling function.
@nasman6 Aw, man- I know I have a small set of purple twinkle lights, but I don’t have the packaging for them or anything. I just got them last year, though- so they are out there.
@nasman6 I looked to see if there were any around me but there were not, must not have any stores in the south or at least not in Ga. Hope you find someone to grab a box.

@heartny yea, but that was put on by the salvage store so nothing usefull.

@nasman6 Have you tried emailing Sylvania customer service?
@heartny the way that store works, the price is x percent off the price listed. Starts at 40% off and goes up from there until 90 or 95% off.
@ChompyGator I tried the Inliten website noted on the bottom of the box, not much there at all.
I don’t like this game.
@riskybryzness why, because nobody can find them? Which I think is weird…
@nasman6 Yeah. Just strange. A lot of things are similar.
Is there a UPC on the back?
@therealjrn uploaded, i searched it too. Good luck

@walarney thanks for the tip.
@walarney So you can simultaneously turn one the candles, turn on the heat and blow cold air in from outside to be heated?
@Kidsandliz I wish! No, you have to point at each device.

There are 4 lights!!
You can find some random shit at dirt cheap.

@Barney loves purple.
well, if I can’t find this set does anybody know of a light set that is purple that twinkles, not flashes?
@nasman6 do they have to be icicles?
@RiotDemon no, not required. regular lights is fine
@nasman6 I usually see sets of purple lights in CVS before Christmas. And Dollar Tree had small ones for Halloween.
@Barneybot isn’t a real bot.
@nasman6 Aw, man- I know I have a small set of purple twinkle lights, but I don’t have the packaging for them or anything. I just got them last year, though- so they are out there.
@Barney loves purple.
@nasman6 Oh, hey. Just search “purple twinkle lights” on walmart.com and you’ll see a few different ones.
@Barney loves purple.
@nasman6 I found purple lights in CVS today, but the box says steady or flashing, not twinkling.
purple loves @barney.
Um, I’m pretty sure they are right there in the middle of your photo. Silly game.
@capnjb
@capnjb actually they are in the box in the photo unless we are being asked to infer if they have been put up yet
Maybe there is a store near you…

@nasman6 I think @mehbee might have found it. It can’t be sold in CA though so hopefully you don’t live there.
@mehbee awesome! not in Cali, but now I have to see if I can find someone in MN, Iowa, or Wi to purchase them as they won’t ship.
so close…
POPSOCKETS! COURT DOCKETS! FOLK ROCK HITS! AWESOME!
@nasman6 I looked to see if there were any around me but there were not, must not have any stores in the south or at least not in Ga. Hope you find someone to grab a box.
@nasman6 there are also stores in N and S Dakota as well.
@mehbee thanks for checking
