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 .

The ONLY reason some kid in Nigeria is starving is because its moron
mommy didn't have the sense to keep her legs closed.


I'm not a big fan of the behavior of some of our African cousins but I'd
like to point out that mommy was probably forcibly raped.

TDD


Probably with the use of of guns supplied by US, British, French, or
Russian arms dealers.


It's all Bush's fault! He said so in his book cuz heez a lyar! :-)

For some reason I find comforting that despite your admitted ignorance
on the subject, you are still more than willing to chime in. Probably
the consistency of it all.

The subject was LED Christmas lights, and I do know something because
I have some. I also have the old style, so I can compare them.

I also know quite a bit about how Bush and his corporate friends
caused one of the largest economic meltdowns in US history. I know how
he lied to get us into a war with Iraq that was in the interests of
hid corporate friends, but not the American people. So, I can pretty
well guess that any actions towards Nigeria were to reward his
corporate friends as well. Is that enough for Kurt to read or do we
need more?

I do actually know one thing about the Bush Presidency and Nigeria.
His VP just got indicted for bribary to get contracts for his
corporate friends. See a pattern here?
