Arrow can recomend an led string light

I'm looking for some decoration lighting for bushes, preferably led strings.
Are there any low voltage strings on the market? Maybe something I could hook up to an outdoor 12 transformer/timer?
Can anyone recommend a quality product?
Thanks for any help on this

but some are actually AC.

Yes, I realize that...either one would work in this case, I need the low voltage
To minimize the risk of shock, these are going to be on a patio in a busy restaurant...

make sure the system you find or all components are UL/CSA
approved and installed in a manner that fits with code.

something cobbled together that harms someone is sure to destroy a business if lawyers found out it was unsafe on paper, regardless of actual saftey.

i know most christmas lights must not be used commercially (unless you get commercial ones) and must be replaced every 90 days.
