So many Mini Craft Lights to choose from! Differences between Craft light sets.

I know I've been blogging a lot about craft lights lately, and since we now carry 8 different types of Craft lights I felt like I needed to explain the differences between all the different craft sets. Craft lights are the most popular light string for the majority of the year and they are hard to find January to September but we are happy to offer these small Christmas light strings all year! They only time we aren't selling them is when we sell out of them!

About our Mini Craft Lights

  • No End to End plug - All of our Craft sets only have one plug that goes to power outlet.
  • High Brightness bulbs - These sets have bright bulbs that aren't like normal mini light string bulbs, they are a higher voltage and look great in blocks and bottles
  • Color Variety - We offer sets (or cases) in all available colors on either White or Green wire, these colors include: Clear, Red, Blue, Green, Amber (Orange), Yellow, Teal, Pink, Purple, and Multi Color.
  • Close bulb space -  Most of these sets have a 2" to 3" bulb space, this cuts down on the wire you have to have inside your project
  • Longer lead wire -  Our craft lights have either a 24" or 36" lead wire, the lead is the wire from the plug to the first bulbs, this means you won't have to go hunting for a extension cord for a 4" lead wire.
  • Stackable plugs - These light strings allow you to stack plugs on top of one another so you can plug multiple sets into a single outlet.
  • Shunted Bulbs - If a bulb burns out the rest stay lit! If a bulb is loose or twisted the wire can not light but this is a rare occurrence.
  • Case lots - All of our incandescent light strings are available in a case option, this lets you stock up on sets and save big money down the road.
Currently we are offering the following different types of Mini craft light sets
  • 10 Light Set - 3" bulb spacing,  2.5 feet lighted length with 36" lead wire from plug to first bulb
  • 15 Light Sets - 3" bulb spacing, 3.75 feet lighted length with 36" lead wire from plug to first bulb
  • 20 Light Sets w/ Short Leads - 2.5" bulb spacing, 3.5 feet lighted length with 24" lead wire from plug to first bulb
  • 20 Light Sets w/ Long Leads - 3" bulb spacing, 5 feet lighted length with 24" lead wire from plug to first bulb
  • 35 Light Sets w/ Short Leads - 2.5" bulb spacing, 7.5 feet lighted length with 24" lead wire from plug to first bulb
  • 35 Light Sets w/ Long Leads - 3.5" bulb spacing, 13 feet lighted length with 36" lead wire from plug to first bulb
