Where to buy plain lights

[Greentree38]

I live in Australia and was wondering if anybody knew were you could purchase plain christmas lights (LED) without the stupid multi-function controller box that you get at Big W. I would like to cover the whole house in Cosmic Ribbon, but that just isn't cheap!

Facing the same issue here and most of the lights I can found also have that useless controller.

There is not a big demand in my country for plain lights but came accross that Australian website the other day while searching how to get rid of that MFC box :

Scroll to the end. A diode bridge is really cheap. Just need a bit of time to do some electrical surgery

 

Hope this helps.

Yeah thanks... I've found a supplier that sells 6m lengths, now to see if they'll sell larger ones!
