New Mini lights cases!

We have greatly expanded our Mini Light case selection on the site. We now offer almost every single mini light string spacing on the market!

Spacings Available:

• 2.5"
• 3"
• 3.5"
• 4"
• 4.5"
• 6"

Where are the 8 inch you ask? Well not many people carry the 8inch anymore and most all of ours are limited to the stock we have on hand.

Now you can easily get cases of mini lights for your decorating project. It's perfect for decorating your home, business, yard, anywhere you need a lot of mini lights! Cases come in both green and white wire, and most cases have every color option available. All the mini lights we carry have shunted bulbs, whats a shunt? Well in a nut shell if a bulb burns out the shunt keeps the electricity flowing so the string doesn't go dead. Now, a shunt will not ever fix a light string that has a removed/loose/twisted bulb, if one of those things happen the string will indeed fail to light. Our Christmas mini lights strings feature 22 gauge wire (except our commercial mini lights which have 20 gauge wire) which is thicker and heavier duty than the wire you'll find on strings from hardware and department stores. Out mini lights are built to last, we've sold countless mini lights for decorating and craft projects from year and only choose the highest quality light strings on the market.

Adding speakers to a musical Christmas controller.

We've gotten some calls about out newest musical christmas controller, asking if you can use different speakers with the unit or add more speakers.

You can use a different speaker, the stock speaker is 8 ohms and we recommend matching the ohms. The bottom of the controller unit has a speaker out that is has a phono plug (RCA plug) jack so you will have to either have a speaker cable with that type of connector or make your own like we had to do in our office.

I used a old guitar cable which had bad 1/4" plugs but you can use cable with a positive and negative wire (even just normal 18 gauge wire will work, but may not sound the best), I wired up a solderless phono plug to the wire (I recommend soldering the wires if you plan to use this cable for multiple seasons) and stripped the other end so I could clip it into the back of the shelf stereo speaker I was testing.

I tested out the stock speaker, just for a comparison of the sound quality, plugged in the new speaker and it worked like a charm. Not only was the larger speaker better sounded but louder. The stock speaker is by no means bad, but the better the speaker the better the sound quality of course.

The other big question we get asked a lot is if the unit has a Line out. A line out is used to send the audio signal to another amplifier source of some sort. This unit does not TECHNICALLY have a line out. I have not tried using the speaker out as a line out, and I do NOT recommend this method. The speaker out is a powered output, meaning, it sends the powered signal from the units amp to the speaker and is not like a Line out.

The simplest solution is to go to a electronic store or most department stores electronics sections have a Y splitter cable from your audio source. This allows you to plug the Y splitter into your mp3 player then one side of the Y you can connect to the controller unit and the other side you can send out to an separate external amplifier. So you have your signal coming to the controller to control the lights and the other signal powering a external speaker source.

I hope this helps clear the air about this new unit. Thanks! Click here to see the controller on the site.

Faders are back.

We are happy to be offering a new Fader. Our previous fader was very popular and the future of it's production is up in the air. In the mean while our new 2 channel Fader is in stock and ready to ship.

This Christmas light fader offers two channels, rated at 2.5 amps each. That's 750 mini light bulbs per channel, so one fader unit can handle quite a few lights. The box has a Speed knob, the unit fade slowly between the channels or go fast enough to simulate a flicker effect. This fader has a tab to fasten it via screw to a wall, but we recommend always protecting them from the elements in some way.

These Christmas Faders are only 34.97 are perfect for adding some movement to your Holiday decorations! Check out the site for even more info. Click Here
