Lowes ( and a bunch of other places) have a 110v, 24 ft, 70 “bulb” string of LED Christmas lights. White lights are $14; other colors are cheaper. Three wires run the length of the string. Apparently the LED’s are strung together in series so as to provide enough resistance so the LED do not fry.
According to the web site, each string takes 2 watts at 110v
I bought a couple strings to use as toe kick lights or indirect lighting behind a valance.

A week ago I also bought some. I found them at Target. They were $12 for white or colors. |

Don't the bubble lights distract the other drivers? |

Be careful of quality. Christmas light wires may not be designed for long term installed use. |

I noticed a warning on the box stating that the wires contain lead and childeren should not chew on them. I find that warning a little stupid considering that 120v running through those wires is probably more hazardous. I guess I should be brain dead since I always played with old christmas lights as a kid. |
