xmas tree lights that aren't garbage?

[Anonymous]

We'll be putting up our tree next weekend, and in anticipation.... i know that a bunch of my indoor lights are going to be burned out from last year.

Instead of buying the overpriced crap garbage from Lowes or Ace on the day of when i realize i need it, I thought i'd be smart and buy something online now. And this way i have my choice of brands.... on the chance that someone out there actually makes tree lights that are better than the garbage they're selling at Lowes and Ace.... Or maybe not. Maybe this is a product that people only buy super cheap and without thought, so in a race to the bottom, all the brands and cheap and junky?

Anyhow, anyone have a source of indoor xmas lights that they would recommend? Looking for the standard green strand with small white led bulbs.

Looking for an answer as well, because they always crap out on me after what seems to me to be a very short amount of time compared to actual usage.

Walmart for $2.59/100ct. Or $3.49/100ct for that LED abomination stuff.

Also, get a LightKeeper Pro thingy to fix shunts and keep strands working.

15:55 again. I just realized that the ones that have lasted the longest in our house are novelty lights from IKEA. I didn't like them at first because they're shaped like stars or jewels and they're too big (ideally, I'd like a lot of tiny lights). My kids picked them out. But they have lasted many years.

Check the wirecutter’s recommendation. Can’t remember what they are but they work really well.
