Craft lights coming back in stock!

Mini lights

20 light count mini lights are coming back in stock soon! Our manufacturer has the lights so we will be getting ours in to sell individual sets in the following weeks. 20 light count craft lights has been extremely popular this year, so much so that our inventory was down to 1 or 2 sets per color!

The craft lights we carry usually have either 20 or 35 lights per string, they are typically spaced approximately 3 inches apart, and come in a variety of colors. Both our 20 count and 35 count mini lights have different lead wire options, either 2 foot or 3 foot lead wires. The longer the lead wire the better for most craft projects using christmas lights. If you have a 3 foot lead chances are you won't need a small extension cord for plugging up your crafts, this will give your projects a clean and unobtrusive look that your family, friends, or customers will enjoy!

Very soon we are going to be receiving 10 and 15 count mini lights, these small craft light sets will be great for small craft projects, you can use smaller bottles or glass blocks. Or if you just want fewer lights in your standard size blocks and bottles then this is a great option. The options on colors will be limited at first, but if the reaction to this style of Christmas light string is strong we will carry full color options in the future.

Of course we still offer our LED Craft lights, while these sets are more expensive you aren't going to have many problems with these lights. They have 25 lights per string and, 3" bulb spaces, and 2' lead. These sets don't generate heat, and use VERY little power. Lets say on average a mini lights string of 20 lights uses about 10 watts of power, these LED light sets use around 2.4 watts and the bulbs will last at least 10 times longer! So while the do cost more, the small price bump is offset by the smaller power usage and the life of the bulbs!
