outdoor christmas lights.

Fellas im having a hard time finding the lights for the look i want.. I like the plan incandesent white/yellow lights on a house.. But the strand only alows 2 sections before it blows a fuse. The led lights you can string a bunch together no problem but just doesnt have that look.. whats every one using to get that plain clean light look?

They have 2 different led lights one is a soft white warm and one is a bright white cold

I like the warm soft white, I run lights around the back yard 12/15 feet up around my queen palm trees I get the lights at Walmart

I went on amazon and bought bulk 16 gauge socket line and made my own so they fit the house. Used zip cord down to the light plug ins that were on a timer

I only use the original C9 in the clear color for my house for the past 11 years. I get a couple boxes each year from Lowe’s at the beginning of the season. I put 5-6 of them together no issues

how much were the bulbs?

We bought a crate of every color plus an extra white. Will never run out in my life time. Don't recall the cost, didn't care.

I do the same, and some of the areas around my door I would just make a custom strand by throwing a female plug on the end. The best trick I found is putting them in totes and only roll up one strand then lay newspaper over each strand and they don't tangle or get damaged.

I bought some led pre programmed lights from Biglots about 10-12 years ago. Bought all they had at the time (about 9/25 bulb strings) and get a shit load of compliments on them ever year. Frosted plastic bulbs about the size of a goose egg. Some of the led's are starting to go bad so I'll probably go with something else this year.

I do the same but use Christmaslightsetc and 1000bulbs. I think I have Christmas light OCD and need a perfect fit

 

[DrunkenSailor]

How long does it take an rdp inmate to screw in 1000 lightbulbs?

I will admit i am taking a hard look at that c9 setup as its realy cool

bought a bunch of these last year. they looked cool on the website but once we put em on the house I hated it.

previous year we had the "icicle string lights" where every 4" or so was a random strand of lights dropped down.

I'll probably be buying regular c9 size bulbs but in a LED this year and be done with it. I like the colorful christmas light big bulb tight to the awning look over the little tiny white lights.
