12V Christmas Lights ??


This will be the first year we will be in Baja for the holidays and my wife has insisted on a few strings of lights around the camper. I'd rather not run the inverter so I'm looking for 12V strings that I can tie together and wire directly to the camper or truck battery. Hopefully low draw as we're on solar only.
Anyone found a good source ?

Thanks Al,
Thats the best I've seen yet.
I wonder what 100 lights would take in power ?
Maybe 4-8 watts ??
Maybe I better take a second solar panel as she'll probably run them all night !

www.harrietcarter.com - string of lights with own solar collector - $19.95. You wouldn't have to hook up to your system at all. I bought some - the lights have more of the icey white/blue LED color.
