Light sets w/10 LED red, white, yellow, or blue for a buck!

Good find and thanks for the heads up.  What will you be using these for? 

I have found some pretty nifty LED light accessories at the Dollar Stores.  I've used some of them to add 'police lights' to my K-Line Police Caboose and to add lights to some of the vehicles on my layout.

My favorite dollar store LED item is the flickering tea candles, two for a dollar.  I remove the flickering LED and use them in steamer upgrades for the flickering firebox, very neat effect!  You can't buy the bare flickering bulbs for anything near that.

How much do they cost at the dollar store?

Just kidding.   That drives my wife crazy when she comes back from the dollar store with miscellaneous arts and crafts supplies for the kids.  "Look at these neat markers I bought for the kids!" she says.  "Neat.  They'll enjoy those.  How much were they?"  I think it stopped being funny to her the first time.  The eye roll she gives me gets funnier every time.

Oh yeah .....the "eye roll"!!  Mine just says "go play with your new toys"  quit talking

all that "fellowship stuff" and.....

so I do and happily....me and the dog!

that is a good deal for those lights...W-M has the same exact item for:$3.99.

How much do they cost at the dollar store? 

 Just kidding.

While you laugh, there are other stores that try to claim many items are $1.00 but mislead the unsuspecting shopper in having items that cost more. 

I just edited the post....they have yellow also. I went back today and bought the store out. I plan to use them to light the interior of buildings among other uses. Will probably use a transformer at 3 volts DC as a bus line for them all so will not use the AA batteries. Also bought some 1 to 1.5 inch figures 3 for a dollar, that are appropriate for my General Steam engines and Madison cars.

Also available are LED candles that have screw-in bases 3 volt DC by two AA batteries. You can take the "flame" plastic cover off the LED. No switch...just screw in / out the bulb on this one. The LED is a large size.

For the LED gurus,  how do you run or convert these to a wall wart,

assume a resistor is needed but what size, since there are 10 lights

thanks

Rite Aid also has a set of nice battery op LED strings. They have 20 bulbs in Clear/white  or a mix if red/yellow/green. Run off two AA batteries and are two sets for $3 right now.

There are lots of ways w/o any resistor - start HERE.

So these net gear adaptors, that read Dc output, 12v, obviously

are to much pizazz, for these, Dollar trees as I did prove, by blowing a $1 light string,  I'll get a couple of these adaptors, on the way,  Hong Kong, Hmmm ,maybe

by Christmas,   thanks

Tip for wall-wart sourcing - of all types including phone chargers - make the circuit through your community visiting the Goodwill, Salvation Army, AmVets, Volunteers of America, Savers, and other charity shops/thrift shops/thrift stores/hospice shops. 

The selection of wall-warts, AC adapters and power supplies is astounding and they are all about $1 each.  They have bins, baskets, boxes full of them, and you can usually find one for your current project and the next two, and lot of them are newer more efficient switching supplies.  

I will pick one up sometimes that I only need the pigtail/plug or just the cube and wire.
