LED style Christmas or Deco Lights...

[cablerunners]

Hi All,

I'd like to get some DC powered Christmas / Deco lights to string around my quickshade...

Anyone know where I can find them or how to convert AC Deco lights?


Thanks,

I did GOOGLE search for LED Christmas Lights some time back and found out a lot of "lamp" and "lighting" sites had LED Christmas strings and also "novelty" light strings....

This might be a good search string to start with "led novelty lights"...

If you find any LED "chase lights" with 4-5 colors and 16 or so "patterns" and in strings lengths of 25-30 feet I'd appreciate knowing....

Are you looking for rope lights or Christmas lights?

Here's what my rope lights looked like...

I've converted a few strings of LED Christmas lights from 120 AC to 12 DC. I find that six or seven bulbs in series works out quite well. Sometimes figuring out how the string is wired is the hardest part, but for the most part 70 bulb strings seem to be two 35 bulb series strings connected in parallel. I've found the cheaper strings to be easiest to use because the wires are usually just twisted around each other rather than fused together.

Here's a set that I did up for our cycling group's Halloween ride last year:
