Led Net Lights Pain To Lay Out

[xxnonamexx 3]

What is the trick to lay out net lights? I purchased Sylvania LED net lights from BJ's and find them to be a Pain in the ...... The plastic covers pop off of them it is ridiculous.

I have yet to find the "trick". I fight with them every year. Every year I say I am going to toss them and just use regular light strings on my bushes and every year I fight with them again. Isn't that the definition of insanity?

I'm not sure what you mean by, "the plastic covers pop off"," but if you’re just looking for them to be more even and orderly; I hang them in the summer, to stretch them out. Heat and gravity do the rest.

I like the hang them in the summer idea, I have often found the wire difficult to deal with and since I use all LEDs getting the color to match my LED strings was impossible. My solution was to custom build net lights out of LED strings. I now have 400 lights on 3 nets and it was very easy to install them.

Well Sylvania makes a crappy set sold at BJ and they have plastic covers over the leds like a regular incadescent bulb but in plastic and they suck. I found the Target net lights much easier to unravel. I am going to stake them into the ground to stretch them since I am covering

pachysandra on a hill in my driveway 10 sets should do the trick. Since the rain curtain lights aren't outdoor usable.

I zip tie mine together and it works well. I can put out about 40 sets of net light in about 1 hour.

A few years back I bought 70 sets of net lights - during the summer I took them out and stapled them (stretched out) to my fence and left them for about a week in the hot sun - your right the will layout nicely over bushes once they are stretched out like that.
