Where Have You Found LED Holiday Lights? 107
glassware asks: "Perhaps you know that LED holiday Lights last hundreds of times longer than regular lights. Perhaps you know that your local utility company recommends them for drastically lowering your electricity bill. But my real problem is, where can you find them? I've found lousy battery-operated LED lights in some department stores; but even in the best stores I give up after a half hour of searching, and so far I see only one vendor making them. Surely there must be alternatives. Where do you get your LED holiday lights?"

Nope, ain't a lot out there.
I think many rope lights use LEDs. You should look into those.
And where can you find ones NOT made in China? (Score:3, Interesting)

Short answer is, HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA.
In any quantity that a regular person would buy (as opposed to, say, someone in charge of site purchases for Disney World), you're not going to get a discount, is the long answer. (I'd like to hear contrary evidence, but that is the received wisdom so far.)
I'm not going to buy more than 10 boxes, though. I figure 10 boxes (at $20 a pop) is already really pushing it, but I don't want them for "Christmas lights" exactly -- I want them as general string lights which I might happen to use during the winter holidays borrowed from the No. European pagans, but will also set up in my room etc.

power source on those? (Score:2, Interesting)
Can you clairify whether those strings need a wall wart, or if (like the foreverbright ones) they just plug into a wall directly?
(Also, white would be nice
