Icicle lights

[Aaron Maue]

As we near the point when there are going to be sales on lights, I'm looking to buy some LED icicles. Pretty much everything I see in stores and even some of the presales, are white wire. I have dark brown gutters and facia on my house, so I was hoping to find green wire.

Was wondering if any of you have a similar problem and if you've just gone with the white wire. You can't see it at night, so probably not a big deal, but thought I'd get some opinions.

Thx,
Aaron

I know there are Brown wire Icicle lights.

But it looks like the same company makes green wired ones as well.

As a last resort I try American Lighting. You must be a dealer to buy from them but they have a lot of odds and ends.

Although I will add that the white wire really makes the lights pop when they are turning on and off because the white reflects. The effect might not have as much punch with the darker wire since there is nothing to reflect the light.

Hope that helped.

Thanks for the links. I'm really torn. White wire LED icicles that are on super sale. Or dark wire for 2x - 3x the price that match my facia & gutters. Which way would you all go?

My vote would always be for on sale and bright...White wire. Also during the day who has green or brown icicles
