Ok, so this year I went out to buy some more outside Christmas lights. Much
to my surprise, I could not find any REAL lights, just the fake led lights.
I looked at all the big box stores, including Lowe's, Home Depot, and
Target. All I could find was the fake led lights.
So, I bought a set of led lights strings with C7 led lights. 50
lights on a string, total wattage of 3.7 watts. They say these are much
cheaper to run because of the low wattage. But, I have seen that you get
what you pay for. These lights are dull and weak looking.
Does anyone here know of any store that still sells real outside Christmas
lights, or have they all been outlawed too ?
Thanks for any info on where I can purchase non-fake Christmas lights !!

How can you even think about using real Christmas tree lights, when some kid
in Nigeria is starving because of the global warming you have caused using
them. Thank God our government has better sense than you do, and seen fit to
outlaw all non energy saving light bulbs.
Oh, wait a minute, there is no actual global warming, and they're going to
repeal that bill? OK, never mind, Merry Christmas

RBM, you are an idiot. Christmas lights have nothing to do with starving
kids in Nigeria. If you really think that is true, you are a blooming idiot
!!
AND, I don't need Al Gore to tell me how bright my Christmas lights should
be, or how many gallons of water that I use to flush my crap, another bright
(dim) idea from your idol.
Get a life.
