Controls range from simple on/off and 3-way switches to remotes with timers. Some kits include a remote offering 1-hour and 4-hour timer options, while many small props use a 3-way switch or an on/off switch on the bottom.

Typical multi-piece kits list three pieces—for example, two color-changing bulbs encased in spiderweb frames plus a remote. The included remote commonly provides timer control.

Most decorations are battery powered. Listings show several battery types, including 3 AA alkaline, 3 AAA alkaline, 6 AAA alkaline, 3 LR44 alkaline, and 3 AG13 batteries (often used for remotes).

Many items are intended for indoor use—tabletops, mantels, entryways, and windowsills. Some pieces are designed for sheltered outdoor spots, and certain waterproof battery string lights are described for gardens, roofs, doors, windows, and lawns.

Sizes range from tabletop jack-o'-lanterns around 14 inches high to battery string lights about 19.7 ft long. Smaller props include discs roughly 3.5 inches wide and decorative bulbs about 2.75 inches across.

Materials and finishes vary: examples include metallic finishes and a magnesium-oxide–style material, as well as ABS plastic, PVC, and elastic components.

The string lights are described as 19.7 ft total length (including a 4.9 ft lead), with a lighted length of 177.6 inches.
