Yea right! Until the lights screw up and the sections are unlit, like ours has done over the last couple of years. What a pain in the **** to find.

Our previous one did that.. 300 smackers for a tree that had the "always lit" lights that a number of them went out the 3rd year, it was baffling, as the lights that quit were scattered around on different cords.. craziest thing! We just ran an xtra string for a few years, and now, it's the maiden voyage for this new one... so, we'll see how it goes. LOL!

We ran another string for a couple of years then last year they lit. Don't know what will happen this year, probably be out.

I got it covered this time.. we went to this one store that had all kinds of pre-lit trees for insane prices ($20.00 a box), so I bought a couple of different ones as spares, so I should be good to go!

Evening Wyoming and Lanny!

Remember when you wanted them to stop.

All you had to do was pick them up?
