The first string of electric Christmas Tree lights
was not sold until 1903. Only the wealthy could afford them, however;
and only those with indoor electric outlets could use them! Most
people continued to follow the earlier and dangerous tradition of
affixing small lighted candles to theboughs of the tree. Larger
trees bore hundreds of candles!

The Commercial-Grade Light Sets The same lights used to decorate
New York’s 5th Avenue and Chicago’s Michigan Avenue, these
commercial-grade indoor/outdoor holiday lights are the best available.
Each bulb burns more than twice as brightly as common lights, while
the generous 6" spacing between bulbs provides 25% more coverage
on trees, railings, and balconies. Unlike thinner wire used in other
light sets, this set is constructed using heavier 20-gauge wire,
allowing twice as many sets (up to six) to be connected together
without blown fuses, reducing the need for extension cords and power
strips. The heft of the hand-twisted wiring—durable enough
for years of regular use—also helps prevent the tangling that
plagues other light sets. Each strand includes 100 lights that la
st 3,000 hours (or more than 4 months of constant 24-hour use),
300% longer than conventional light sets. Specify Clear or Multi-Colored.
50' L. Set of two light strands. (2 lbs.)

The Always Lit Indoor LightsUnlike standard holiday lights that fail when one or more lights go out, these lights use an integrated circuit that regulate electricity when neighboring bulbs fail or are removed, allowing up to ten lights in a strand of 50 to fail or be removed before the entire strand ceases to illuminate. The circuit stays cool, so each bulb will not overheat adjacent lights that carry more power when bulbs are removed. Each circuit is tested and rated for 5,000 hours of use, and three strands may be connected together. Strands include 100 lights each. Specify Clear of Multi-Colored sets. Set of two strands. (2 1/2 lbs.) sale!
6-Foot Illuminated Spheres Light StrandThis 6' lighted strand has 70 bright illuminated baubles and up to three can be plugged end to end for use indoors or outdoors, along fences, around trees, banisters, or columns. Each strand has a 30-inch lead for its plug, plus a 6-inch tail to connect to the next strand. Molded PVC with commercial grade bulbs rated to last 3,000 hours. Specify Candy Cane (frosted ball strand with red and white stripes), Frosted White, or Clear Multi-color. Plugs into AC. (15 oz.) sale!

Long-Lasting
Electric Candles Safely Provide Light and Ambience Ordinary
candles can add atmosphere to any intimate party, but any open flame
has the potential for disaster. If you have young kids or pets or
just prefer not to light candles near your valuable possessions,
the electric Candle Chain provides a smart substitute lighting option
that's both safe and economical. These six candles are powered by
a single power adapter, and their bulbs will last much longer than
ordinary wax candles, without leaving a drippy mess. They even flicker
like real candles!
