    Default Going to LED lights- where to buy cheap?

    Wondering if anyone one has bought LED lights and where you got the best deals on them? I'm assuming places like Wal-Mart, etc., or the week after Xmas they'll have sales.

    What kind of lighting?? xmas or general? I don't recommend C.Crane for general - they screwed up my first order and screwed up a replacement.

    I switched to the LED lights from Wal-mart a few years ago. I hated them. It may have been the particular ones that I bought, but they looked cold on the tree, not warm and inviting.

    I got mine from Wal-mart for about $3 a package of 100 lights. I ended up giving them to my Mom and buying some of the old lights for $1.

    yes - Xmas lights - I need mini warm whites, the little dot reds and some c7s for the tree. I bought some whites last year - they were cool white and looked blue! I took them back. But I was just at Lowe's and they had some lights out that I tested that actually looked good - much warmer. And they now have mini twinkles in LEDs. I'd just like to find them at the best prices.
