mattpatt Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 Well, I was at Hobby Lobby today (bad mistake) looking at what all Christmas stuff they have out and saw some G35s (the 25 light version) setting on the shelf for $49.99. I just happen to have a 40% off coupon that I could use that would bring the cost down to around $33 after tax. My question... Is it worth it? My understanding is that most people are using the E681 to control these so that would be another $120. So roughly $150 to add another element to my display plus the time to sequence. Or should I wait until the day after Christmas sales and hope to pick some up for 75% off somewhere?Matt
dougd Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 I have been happy with mine but I paid $20 per set of 36. If all you were looking at for this season is that 1 set, I would hold off and see what next year brings.
SoCalJimH Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 $1.18 to $1.32 per GECE bulb seems to be common. A little less, around $1.00, if gotten at right time. Don't forget to add the cost of a decent power supply ($12 to $35) Don't forget, you can add more strings onto that E681 later as your show grows.
mattpatt Posted August 9, 2012 Author Posted August 9, 2012 I may wait... or better yet.. Go hide the two boxes they had and hope no one finds them!
geronc Posted August 9, 2012 Posted August 9, 2012 I got most of my 36 count GECE for $20 a box. I got about a dozen for $10. I would wait till after c-mas.
