George Simmons Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Just keep in mind that those lights are dimmer than conventional minis by quite a bit. That's the trade-off for the energy savings. All by themselves in the yard it's hard to see, but next to "regular" minis it's VERY noticeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shfr26 Posted January 5, 2010 Author Share Posted January 5, 2010 Well stick a pin in my big happy bubble and deflate it!! LOL. That's OK, I got about 15,000 or so this year and about 5,000 last year so I can put them all together in different spots. I really did not notice the difference this year but thanks for the info, now next year I will be all worried that they will not look good with the rest of the lights. Only kidding, have to make do with what I have . If I notice the difference next year I will call you George and let you know:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Simmons Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 I noticed the difference because I knew there was a difference. I doubt that anyone visiting the display noticed because I used the dimmer lights on new poles on one side of the house and put the older poles with the "regular" lights on the other side. With the house between them it wasn't apparent unless you looked very closely. I wasn't trying to pop your bubble - just trying to save you heartache and despair later on. Side-by-side the difference is very noticeable - the energy efficient models look like regular minis dimmed to 80%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shfr26 Posted January 5, 2010 Author Share Posted January 5, 2010 Once again,thanks George. I plan on putting all in dispay together use all others in different spots. Was only kidding about my bubble, that was deflated many years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 I agree with Jeff. This late you can make a deal.Tell him you will take them all for $0.50Oh and I have purchased minis in the past for as low as a quarter to thirty cents a box. Bought C7s for a dollar a box before. The later the cheaper. Now go deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shfr26 Posted January 6, 2010 Author Share Posted January 6, 2010 1. No Jeff, I have no LED lights, but I do have a spare room. Temp right now 26 degrees.2. The store had them at 50% off and I had a cart full, went to manager and said "75% off and I will double my purchase, done deal.3. I will check to see what they have left and see what they will do.4. Just rechecked, I purchased about 20,000 from same place so far.5. My wife now always asks " You aren't going to Walgreens again are you ?" every time I leave. I wonder why??

Dan Lott Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 I agree with global warming my a$$. Last year at hobby lobby i bought 356 boxes of mini lights. Got 72 boxes of red 72 boxes of green 212 boxes of clear. That was an awsome day. I bought them at 90% off. 29 cents a box. This year i have only found 62 boxes of red minis at 80% off and all the c9s that i needed. I am way short on green and white minis. I have no clue how to get around this problem but still going to stores and seeing if any place has any left. So far not luck. i have been going to about 4 stores a day in all different locations. Any ideas guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oddly enough, at Walgreens...JeffWell Jeff, it's down to 19 degrees here this a.m. Checked yesterday all the lights were put away, not selling anymore. Can I move in with you, it's warmer there???
