Liamb Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Looking for a source (to buy) of large light nets. Preferably led but we can work with fairy / pea. Any input appreciated! Liam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenalien Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 http://www.festive-lights.com/garden-lights/180-warm-white-led-outdoor-net-light.html - or try Ebay... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wol Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 I've used lights4fun before to buy net lights, although annoyingly they're the harsh white LED ones (even when they claim its 'warm' white). Good range and good value I've found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niclights Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Another vote for Lights4Fun. Rubbish name but very good quality and value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigclive Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 It's worth mentioning that many of the cheap mains powered LED strings and nets on Ebay are totally non compliant with any sense of the word "safety" at all. They often use breathtakingly flimsy single-insulated wire with seemingly just a couple of strands of thinnest possible wire inside, soldered half-heartedly to LEDs with grossly under-rated series resistors and sleeved sparingly with thin heatshrink. It's easy for the live wires to pop out, the resistors often turn black quickly and melt holes in the already sparse heatshrink, and the same wire is used for the connection between the easily opened mains controller and the plug-of-unknown-standard. When you're buying lights it can be very hard to tell if you're going to get proper lights from any supplier these days, since there are a lot of home companies buying the dodgy Chinese tat and reselling it at prices more consummate with a well engineered product. Oh, and anything that claims it's for outdoor use but doesn't have the LEDs and their connections totally encapsulated in resin, is NOT actually suitable for outdoor use. That is all.
