Does anyone know enough about electronics to answer? I just hung my lights and thought how much easier it would be without connecting lights end to end and worrying about popping a fuse. Solar powered lights would be even better

you’d need a car accumulator to run those lights for entire night.
and there is not enough daylight for solar panels.
cause it needs electricity
b/c tht would be way more money
Batteries cost to much money…
Solar powered ones are an interesting idea

Because i said so
they draw too much power to be able to run on batteries for long enough, and batteries cost a lot more than the electricity you get from the wall. So its basically a cost issue
it would take a huge battery and be way way too expensive.
answer for an answer?

i actually dont know! but that wud b rlyy coool!
yea i was kinda wondering the same thing, but why would you use like 10 batteries, when there just gonna last what, like 2 weeks if there on every night?
I have some that run on batteries!
They’re hung up in my locker at school!
Sadly, i have no idea where I got them.. But dhristmas lights can run on batteries!
If they were solar powered, you’d only be able to turn them on during the day, and that’s no fun. If they were battery-powered, then you’d have to constantly change the batteries because of how long the lights have to be. Electric is best.

If they are made for a wall outlet then they are made for 120 volts.
If you try to hook them up to a battery you would need a voltage transformer and a AC to DC outlet. You cannot just snip and splice.
AC power and DC power are very very different.
It would cost too much money, honey.
I’ve seen some of the new LED lights that DO operate off of batteries. In general, the reason is that standard Christmas lights are designed to run on house power which is 110 volts AC. If you tried to connect a flashlight battery (1.5 volts) or even a big ol’ car battery (12 volts), there just isn’t enough voltage to light the lights.
