TrophyHusband 0 #1 December 14, 2007 does anyone have them yet? how do they look compared to regular lights/ are they as bright? all around the house, doors, and windows i have the big c9 bulbs. i also have several strings of the small lights on my fence]as well as two inflatables. i cannot add anything else without blowing breakers. my options are to put in more outlets on new breakers, or switch to the smaller lights. if i switch to smaller lights, i may go to led's. http://www.holidayleds.com/ "Your scrotum is quite nice" - Skymama www.kjandmegan.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think they look pretty good, but I wouldn't mix C-9's and LED lights. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Broke 0 #7 December 14, 2007 While it may seem cost prohibitive to buy those lights. I am sure you will more than make up for it in energy costs. Also check with your local Power company. I know my local ower company is providing rebates on LED christmas lights. Also think about how much less stress it will be to not have to find out which bulb is burnt out preventing the whole strand from lightingDivot your source for all things Hillbilly.

TrophyHusband 0 #8 December 14, 2007 i would get rid of the c9's and go completely led. how many can you safely string together? i know the website says 3, but if i could do 5 or 6 that would significantly reduce the number of extention cords i have to use.
