Papa6058 Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 After being very frustrated with my light strings purchases over last few years (converted to LED), and almost passing out when I ordered a few (3) controllers this year and making a spiral Mega tree my wife is showing symptoms of CLAP! Now she keeps bringing up the subject of how many more lights we need to make the spiral tree look better, how many to put the other Mega tree backup and how many controllers to handle it all. My REASON for the post is, where is best place to get better lights and stuff on after Christmas sales? I have looked at a few sites with professional style lights, Where do you get your lights? Thank youMichael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LORisAwesome Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 (edited) CDI is good. Good quality items, great customer service.http://www.creativedisplays.com/They are currently running a pre-sale with nice discounts. Look in the coffe shop forum for CDI pre-sale information. Not sure if you can get to the pre-sale through the link above.Jerr. Edited December 19, 2012 by LORisAwesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ksmith247 Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 My big question is how you got your wife into it. I am still at the, "It does not make sense to me, but I know you want to do it." stage with mine...lol. Granted, I have just ordered my first controller this week, and she will not see our house in lights until next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't always work but it's worth a try.But be advised that wives (and husbands) have a way of changing their view the first time someone says to them: "Wow - I really like your house."

Surfing4Dough Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 let's not forget these guys:http://www.noveltyli...ghts/?altpath=YThey better have one heck of a sale to try to compete. I just quickly glanced at their prices and they didn't even appear to be in the same ballpark as the other major players around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked mine to help build yard decor for next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docbass06 Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 The holiday lights express presale looks great, what's the quality of the lights?? I'm talking the LED's and what's the difference between the green wire and white wire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just quickly glanced at their prices and they didn't even appear to be in the same ballpark as the other major players around here.I bought from them my first year. They are ok, but, I had a terrible failure rate with their product. Then I needed replacement strings, and the strings I needed were discontinued.Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilrock Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 let's not forget these guys:http://www.noveltyli...ghts/?altpath=YYeah I thought these prices looked really high also. But there is a huge drop in price if you buy a minimum of 36+. Plus these look like normal prices to order something to be shipped immediately whereas the other competitors are showing sale prices for items to be shipped months from now.
