@beardog49 posted:I picked these up today at a yard sale for .50 ea. 4.5 foot string, 10 lights, operate on two C batteries. Currently testing to see how long they will last on dollar store batteries. Should have some use in places where you can't run an extension cord. Also I bought a set of colored markers at Micheals and found you can color these.
FWIW, between Sept and the 2nd week of Dec, I goto Michaels with 20% off coupon and get the led ones. The leds are smaller, come in various sizes [3mm, smd,5mm,etc.] On strings of ten and have the barrel plug for wallwart option.
Ask Allen G. how well they work!
