Outdoor Christmas Lights
These lights are gorgeous! I say that as someone who's first word was "light" and who has worked as a Hollywood lighting specialist for 35 years. I'm always looking for something new and special in LED's and this is it. The string is composed of 4 colors of lights -- blue, red, green, yellow -- each on their own circuit, and a tiny plastic control box that let's you select from 8 different light patterns including random.

I found the faster patterns more appropriate for a Christmas tree or a party, but the Slo Fade was just what I was looking for. Each color slow fades up and slow fades down while overlapping with the next color -- a little reminiscent of a fireworks show.

The set of lights I ordered a few weeks ago had no identification, no brand, no safety warnings, -- nothing. The one I'm looking at now is a Christmas present for someone so I'll leave it wrapped up. It's in a plastic hang bag with the name "Lucky Star" and the words, "Made in China."

The strings appear quite well made. You'd think with 5 conductors the string itself would be large and obtrusive, but instead it's a loose, light, and very small bundle of wires, each insulated with the same transparent stuff that covers speaker wire, so it takes on the color of whatever it's against, and it's light enough you can hang it on push pins.

It seems LED's operated by integrated circuits to produce light patterns is something entirely new. I live in Southern California where the new is always popular, and two days before Christmas I've yet to see another string of programmed LED's.
