Battery-operated Christmas lights?

Alicat

Anyone spotted any battery-operated Christmas lights around? I had an idea or two for some decorating but don't have sockets where I want them.

The only ones I've seen so far were a little pack of ten lights for €9.99 in Malahide Garden Centre. Bit steep for such a small set I thought!

Yeah it's just for a few nights for parties. Don't plan on keeping them on all Christmas!

I'm thinking of getting one of these in Woodies.
Has anyone ever had a battery operated garland/wreath? I'm wondering what kind of batteries they take and how hard on batteries they are.

Usually 2-3 AAA batteries.

Premier have released indoor/outdoor lights that are battery operated . They come on for eight hours and off for 16 hours everyday . They last for 30 days on twinkling mode

I got cute coloured star ones in Homestore & M*re last Christmas. They were all half price in December, paid €1.99. I can't remember if they were sets of 10 or 20, but as others said, they absolutely eat batteries.

I got some in Heatons last year

They have some in M&S. I picked up these ones because I was buying 2 stockings and it's 3 for 2.



Bit expensive but there was nothing else there that I wanted and they were free and they're lovely! I wouldn't pay full price for them.
