Where Have You Found LED Holiday Lights?

Posted by Cliff on from the strings-of-luminescent-pearls dept.

glassware asks: "Perhaps you know that LED holiday Lights last hundreds of times longer than regular lights. Perhaps you know that your local utility company recommends them for drastically lowering your electricity bill. But my real problem is, where can you find them? I've found lousy battery-operated LED lights in some department stores; but even in the best stores I give up after a half hour of searching, and so far I see only one vendor making them. Surely there must be alternatives. Where do you get your LED holiday lights?"

    I found mine in my neighbour's garden.

    (I was too lazy to use Google and buy my own, so I stole them.)

    Hey, he tried. Did you read this? "I give up after a half hour of searching" The man spent 30 minutes searching, which is like 3 years in internet time. Hurry up and give him an answer!!

    You sissy. Real men mine the ore, extract the metals, and make their own wire. And then for the LEDs...
