Loved it.
One comment on LED Christmas lights. They do fail over time, but the reasons vary according to the manufacturer, and the quality of the lights. We got tired of replacing our lights every year, so we researched commercial LED Christmas lights. So far the lights we bought have worked for three years with no failures. One reason is that the LED bulbs are sealed, and not removable. They are water proof, and not being in a socket, there is no possibility of corrosion. Standard LED Christmas lights almost always fail because of corrosion in the socket. Water intrusion speeds that process considerably, but even without water, the corrosion sets in and eventually leads to failure. So to get good LED Christmas lights, fist the design has to be a good one, then the parts used need to be of high quality, then the construction has to be sealed from outside contaminants.
LED's would be really expensive if the leads were made from solid copper, as suh, the leads are made of steal, and have a very thin copper plating. It only takes a little moisture to start the corrosion process, and that happens at a different rate for each bulb. So that explains how we can take bulbs out of the socket, wipe it off and possibly get our lights from last year to work for another year. Each year it gets harder and harder to fix the lights until we get frustrated and buy new. Then the process starts over.
That all ended when we bought the commercial LED lights, we can't unplug the bulbs, but because of that, there is no reason to unplug the bulbs.
This year, I needed some twinkle LED'S for a 4 foot star that I put up on a 40 foot tower on my house. We got the trickle LED'S at Home Depot, and they failed before the end of the first season. The box they came in said they had a warranty on them, so they went back to Home Depot and we got a full refund.
I hope some of this will enlighten someone who is getting tired of buying new lights every year.
