I bought a string of lights for my tree. The lights do 16 different

[Bunny]

things! They remain steadily lit, they fade in and out, they blink, chase each other, alternate colors, etc! I paid $7.99 for them at Big Lots, and they are just enough to cover my tree! They have an operations control panel, which unfortunately is not remote controlled.

So I am amusing myself by drinking wine and occasionally getting up to fiddle with the control panel and see what else they can do. What the hell will they think of next?

1. I like white lights, but I've got a youngun. :(

I think I'll be getting what you got. I do get a kick out of the fading and the chasing.

How big is your tree?

[Bunny]

2. 6 ft. tall. Fake, too!

The lights are cool! :silly:

3. i want those

but i think they could be even more kick ass with a remote. how long is the string?

[Bunny]

4. About 40 feet long, I think the box said.

I have a six foot fake tree, and it just covers the tree.

[ogradda]

6. and my tree's about five feet in the stand

and we have one of those stores out here i think. 8 bucks isn't a bad price for that either.

[Bunny]

7. Yep - Eight bucks ain't bad at all!

I'm enjoying them!

On edit - I'm considering going to Big Lots tomorrow for another string. The ones I have are just enough to cover the tree - another string would make it really incredible!

9. Theu're called "Bubble lights", i got some at target about 5 years ago

and now and then i find them at different stores, Usually 7 to a strand. They light up and then they bubble, they look kind of retro.

[Bunny]

11. They look cool.

I'm going to check them out at Target.

[RC]

12. They are retro.

I remember them from the 1950's

10. I waited to the end of last x-mas to buy lights.

Saved 75%. :9

Of course, the selection is crap, but nothing's perfect...
