WiggyHD Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Where do you all get your single color light strings for a decent price? The ones I have are all multicolor that I bought at Wallyworld at the day after Christmas sale. I have searched online, but I have only found them at $18-$24 per string! 50 bulbs on one string for that much, I don't know how people do it?Also, I know I was just griping about cost, but I have seen displays on here with what seem to be color changing strings. Not the CCR's, but what look like led strings. For instance, folks have trees that change color without looking like strings changing to a different strings of a diifferent color. If I am seeing right, where do you get those?THANKS!Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james campbell Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 I think most are using multiple strings, like one green one red and one blue,then you would need three channels to control them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max-Paul Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Well your about 9 months late for this year. Starting next year late Jan or so CDI starts their pre order sale. Great product, great prices. But the only drawback is that he only sells in dozen boxes. I would love to find someone in the St. Louis, MO area that would like to split boxes with now and then. Others will also promote their products on sale usually in the spring and a few at other points in the year. A good number of us will say that Paul at CDI stands behind his sales. If you dont go to Planet Christmas from time to time. You wont hear about these sales unless someone here on LOR mentions it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBullard Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 Paul at CDI always starts a thread on every decorating forum when he has his presale. No need for Planet Christmas, Paul and all the other reputable vendors are members here and make their own posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Boros Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 I have gotten the led's at the store and then I ordered from CDI. Big difference in quality for not too much difference in price, and they seem to stand behind their stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Boros Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 CDI also has a clearance section. Last year or earlier this year I got some for around 8-9 ea, and it was a partial case somehow. If you search a little on their site you can score nice little deals like that. And everyone Ive dealt with was always very nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
