Novelty Lights 20 Light Clear Christmas Craft Mini Light Set, Non-Connectable, White Wire, 8' Long

Back in the day, Hallmark offered motor-animated tree ornaments (some actually too large to hang off a branch) that got their power by plugging them into a bulb socket in a string of incandescent tree lights. This year we decided to set up a display of the many Hallmark animated in an area beneath our tree. Forgot one thing ... all of our lights today are LEDs, not incandescent. Uh oh. No power source for the display.Rather than go on a possibly fruitless search for a string of old-style lights, I went to Amazon (my first stop for anything, anyway, as I HATE store shopping) to find what has become almost obsolete. Of course, I found just what I needed, and this set filled the bill. (An interesting note here: as LED lights became more popular, I recall that a string of 100 lights of this style could be had for as little as $1.99. With shipping, this little string of 20 cost more than 4x as much.)Although we don't need one, it was nice to see that the string came with a flasher bulb (yes, folks, a special bulb was required to get your lights to flash) along with a couple or three spare plain bulbs and two extra fuses (both of which would be hard to find otherwise). The bulbs burn a nice, bright white and the wiring is sturdier than was common in those old 100-light strings of old ... a nice surprise. I expect this set will serve its purpose well for many years. I'm VERY happy with this sturdy set, price not withstanding. Highly Recommended!A NOTE TO THOSE FAMILIAR WITH ONLY LED LIGHT SETS:For those who are familiar only with LED tree lights, keep something in mind before you buy these & think about where you will use them; these are incandescent lights, not LEDs. Incandescent lights produce a lot more heat than LEDs. The latter will get warm, the former can get quite hot. Each of these bulbs are 4-5 watts each. Not think of a 4-watt night light; it gets very warm, but the heat it makes is spread over the entire surface of the bulb. Now take that same heat and concentrate it into a bulb with about 10% of the surface area to let ut the heat, and you have a pretty hot bulb. Keep this in mind when you decide where you want to put these.Also keep in mind that this type of tree light comes with a very short "plug cord". You may have only about 12 inches from the end of the string to the plug. Assume you will need an extension cord.

Worked fine

Perfect.

The cord is sturdyAlso, I wanted a brilliant red! The color red is brilliant, not dull looking.

I really like the lights because they can be used in different seasons and celebrations. The cost of the lights however, really limit more purchases. They are pretty expensive. They have bright color and work really well for what I use them for.

Perfect string of 20 white Christmas lights. I needed these to replace a string that is inside a small decorative glass light. I like that these don't come with plugs at both ends, as the light I have has only a small hole in the back of it for the cord. The lights were easily fed through that opening and coiled inside, leaving a long enough cord to plug into an extension cord behind the dresser. They work just fine, but I'm giving 3 stars right now because these kind of lights tend to burn out fast if they're used on a daily basis. I will say the shipping on these was super fast. Will update my review after I've determined how long they last.

Used product for Christmas tree decoration!

I needed them for a Christmas canvas. They worked great!
