did the bah humbug christmas this year, but probably end up putting out the f**king lights myself. not so bad at our house, we have led stand up figures we put out, and just a few rows of lights on the front of the house. just lazy i guess. they make a pencil looking light tester at lowe's or other places that sell lights you are supposed to be able to test lights with. not much luck with ours though. i usually try for a short while, if no luck, trash and get new ones.

I stopped using Incans for christmas lights 10 years ago.

I still have my very first string of LED christmas lights. Still not one single bulb out. I put up about 4500-5000 lights for christmas (yeah I am a bit crazy)

I just found some kick butt lights at 5 and below. 27.6 foot 100 warm white led's 9.1 watts $5

bought 4 if they pass my "burn test" I will buy 10 more.

I highly doubt mwebb installs Christmas lights. Can you imagine them ever passing his stringent tests?

Only use American Society of Electrical Engineers approved lights that meet the current lighting standards. UL325-12-bc-879 115 volt Not the shnit light you get at Wal mart. Good lights should scope out something light this Posted Image I

Any of you remember the shiny silver chrome trees that had the light at the base that had a rotating circular disk with the blue-red-yellow-green over it?
