Commercial 50 ct. Mini Multi-Colored Lights w/ White Wire 2.5 in. Spacing

Question: On some commercial lights it says a power adapter is needed to operate lights. Do I need a power adapter for these lights?
Answer: No. The commercial lights which need a power adapter are LED commercial lights. While these are commercial grade, these are not LEDs and have a standard two-pronged Edison plug which will work in common household outlets.

Question: How many lights strings can I plug into each other?

Question: Can I mix and match light strings meaning plug in one 50 ct. light string into a 100 ct. light string and a 25 ct. light string?
Answer: No. It is recommended that you only plug in the same light string counts into each other so a 50 ct. light string into another 50 ct. light string. If you alternate or plug in several different count light strings into each other, you will cause different amounts of power draws for the light strings and the higher wattage needed for a 100 count light string may cause the 50 or 25 count light strings to malfunction or short out and ruin the lights.

Question: How long are these lights supposed to last?
Answer: These lights have an average life of 1,500 hours.

Question: What is the wire gauge?
Answer: This light carries a 22 gauge wire.

Question: If one bulb goes out, does the rest of the string stay lit?
Answer: Yes. These super bright lights will stay lit even if a bulb does go out.

Question: How long is the lead end or tail that has the plug for the outlet?
Answer: Six inches.

Question: How many lights do I need when I'm decorating my tree?

Answer: As a rule of thumb, plan on using around 100 mini lights per foot of tree. For a even greater "twinkle" factor, many decorators recommend bumping that number up to 150 mini lights per vertical foot.
For a 6 Foot Tree: 600 lights
For a 7 Foot Tree: 700 lights
For a 8 Foot Tree: 800 lights
For a 9 Foot Tree: 900 lights
For a 10 Foot Tree: 1000 lights
Do take into account if you have a very full tree, you will need more mini lights than a slender tree and we'd definitely recommend the 150 mini lights per vertical foot.

Question: I'm used to using traditional mini lights but I keep seeing all these LED lights. What's the biggest difference between traditional lights and LEDs? And are they worth the higher price?
Answer: LED stands for Light Emitting Diode. These bulbs do not contain filaments , which is the substance that burns out in traditional bulbs. LED light sets last on average ten times longer and use 1/10 the power of standard mini lights. They also emit a brighter and more distinct color for less of the energy. So while your initial investment or upfront cost is higher for an LED light , the cost savings are seen with lower electricity consumption and bills.

Question: Are LED lights worth the cost?
Answer: Ultimately you budget will determine your decorating dreams. But in our opinion, LED lights are the future of Christmas lights. Think about this, colors that will never fade, lights that stay lit using minimal power, and no glass to ever break. The bulbs themselves are housed in hard plastic that will protect them for years on end. You have the same effect of mini lights, C7, or C9 bulbs with all the perks of LED bulbs and you won't have to worry about fixing a string if they go out or replacing burnt out or broken bulbs, because LED light strings are more durable and dependable. You won't have to buy new lights every season, just pull the LED Light sets out of storage and decorate.
