Monoprice lights

[PappaLos]

This is my first year with light o rama. I bought a bunch of lights led lights from monoprice this year. Wondering if anyone has had success with them before?

I know there cat5 cables are good, I use the them all the time. 

Didn't know they were selling L.E.D. lights now.   Might have to check into that.

I bought a couple cat 5 cables too.  I think they have the best price for zip ties too. They only have a few options for lights.

Just a few listed there.  If you search "holiday lights" on their site more will come up.

There isn't anything I have bought from Monoprice that hasn't been great, they have great warranty if there are any issues.  I'd trust them

Checked them out and not bad being on Sale.  But I do believe they are only Half Wave though.   So they may flicker when used with slow fade ups or downs.

not to change the subject on the thread but since zip ties were mentioned earlier, I'd thought I give you an alternative.

If your looking for zip ties, $3-$5 for 1000 can't be beat

Unless you happen to have a local store owned by a Chinese guy that sells them for less.  I get mine at his store {sorry, no online presence} when he gets them in, and I can buy 5,000 zip ties in black for less than $3.00!  And when he gets them, they range in sizes from 1" to 2' long and sells them all at the same price.  Don't know how he does it, but he does.

How many of you are old enough to remember paying a dollar a piece for ty-wraps?

When cutting a ty-wrap off, cut it right below the head so you can pull the tail out of the head and re-use it.

Yes, I remember when those things were expensive like that.    Now I'm going to be showing my age! ??
