Heh, that's pretty cool. I have an extra strand of lights. Im going to try it. :lol:

Just remember in the video he says to use only 10 lights. Probably cause if you use more you could blow the fuse in your amp.

you could prob do a whole strand of wires, especially if you have a receiver putting out like 100w per channel. I :dunno: though. Im gonna try it though :)

thats pretty old. i remember doin that back in middle school (over 10 years ago, and it was old news then when i figured it out) . if you use the small xmas lights you can hook up whole strands. had them run around the ceiling of my room at one time.

I am gonna do it with a strand of 1,200 lights, and actually not black tape the one end, but rather hold it with my teeeeth

haha, i was stringing up lights the other night with em plugged in and i kept getting this cool tingling sensation in my finger and arm, come to find out a bulb was broken and exposing the wire inside and i kept touching that. :lol: It was cool, def do it in your mouth though, make sure your tongue touches it :lol:

he used C7 lights, thats why he said only use 10 lights. Those kind of light use 7 watts per bulb

if you used miniture lights, you probabally could use a while strand, mini lites use alot less watts

I ran 37 strands non stop inside my home one holiday season cause we were having like 6 parties and my electric bill dropped by something like 50-60 dollars. We never even used the reagular lights. X-mas lights use very little power. It was so nice. Would have been cooler if I new about this trick.

haha yeah I am really scared of electricity because of a bad childhood experience with the breaker. I being the idiot child I was decided to smack the breaker with a metal coathanger. What would this accomplish that would be considered ummm "good" ? lol

I must have done something right in my wrong thinking because I got the fucking shit nailed out of me from the box. POOOOOF, big pop, ark and I actually flew backwards and smacked my head on the washer/dryer. I learned the hard way, but wont ever electricute myself again :lol:
