ISO battery powered LED Christmas lights

It looks like a group of us are going to "cold camp" this weekend and I've been looking everywhere for some LED based, battery powered, Christmas light strings to put on the tent. Darn it, if I can't find them soon I'm going to have to take my "booster pack" and the power inverter and put some target LED christmas lights on the tent :naughty: .

Try Walgreens if they are in your area. I picked some up there last year. They had both C and AA driven ones.

I saw some at Kmart on Saturday...small 3 AA battery holder and a string of 25 lights I believe.

Thanks all, I'll hit Walgreens and Kmart tonight. WalMart and Target had zippo (at least the ones near me).

This set was made exclusively for Target; it uses four AA cells and has 18 LED lights in the string - available in multicolor and all-white that I'm aware of.

you could always "mod" the target ones The phillips brand ones are just 2 parallel strands of 30 series LED's to make up the appropriate forward voltage for use at 120v. You could turn that into a whole lot of 3 led's in series for 12v with a small resister, or 4 led's in series if that is bright enough (have to experiment)

Course, to do a whole strand might take a lot of time and effort and a lot of soldered joints and heat shrink tubing to get it all water tight again... They would run for a long time on a little 12v SLA though

Thank Craig, That's the string I was looking for but I couldn't find them in my local Target.
