Tiny LEDs in Kmart Christmas lights

[Alantrains]

Hi all, 

I'm not sure if the US Kmart has the same products as the Australian one, but I just got a battery powered set of Christmas lights that use 0505 white LEDs (Tiny). For those like me who have trouble seeing these littles LEDs let alone soldering to them, this is a great product. I'm sure the US price is even lower than the AU$5 a set of 24. Even come with a controller that can be set for Off On and Flashing.

 Definitely have these in US stores - I have a string that looks like that stashed away for future use. I actually think it came from a Dollar Store, not KMart.

If you don't like the bright white (i.e. blueish) colour you can make them a warmer white by applying some Tamiya Clear Yellow paint. It isn't a perfect solution because the blue tone gives the painted lights a very slight greenish colour, but if you are modelling older incandescent lights it is better than the original bright white.

I saw something similar at a decent price at Menards, I will use them under the upper leve to ligght the middle level.

Saw the same ones in a local garden and craft store. They also come in warm white white, so you might want to search those out as well.

Thanks Mark, I searched for warm white, but none at the store I went to. I'll try another store just in case. cheers Alan
