with the price of electric around my area i can't afford to put up lights

28x60 ranch style home that is all electric runs right at $200.00 a month.

my parents house which is slightly bigger and all electric on a different electric company runs about $70.00 a month year round.

yep, thats her! I'm thinking of getting a car cover for her....wheres the best place to get em (want a cheap one). And the lights have been my project for the last month. Its funny, I buy lights, my neighbour buys more, I buy more, he buys more, I buy an inflatable Santa and he buys more lights and then puts them up with a frickin' CHERRY PICKER!

Well its sorta too late, we're moving in the spring. Notice how I have said how I am getting the funds to finish the Charger in the spring? Thats because I cant get the funds until we sell our house..which we are doing in the spring.


BUT, he also fell off a ladder and hurt himself last spring while cutting his hedge so I'm not sure when he will be putting up his lights

That inverter idea is cool todd, i'd like to string lights on my Chrysler, i have no idea if that's legal or not...

There is a prade of lights at the local car show here and hubby and I have been talking about putting the charger in, but We can't figure out how you power the lights.

Power inverter...........  A device that takes 12volt DC from a car battery and turns it into 110voltAC.  My unit is a 1000watt unit. Was way more then I needed to run my lights and air float. I wanted an inverter I could use later to run bigger things if needed.
My old 1947 Dodge truck is a 6volt positive ground electrical system. It has a 6volt battery instead of a 12volt like modern vehicles have. Thats why I had to put a 12volt car battery in the bed of the truck. Otherwise I could have hooked the inverter to the battery under the hood and had unlimted usage. My setup ran the lights and float for 3 hours and still was capable of going.

sweet starting to work on that this weekend....thanks

[Brock Samson]

what that cost tod?..

[Todd Wilson]

what that cost tod?..

I think I got like 94$ in mine. 15$ was faster shipping. Check out this place...........

Most of the inverters are modified sine wave units. They will usually power everything the average home user would want. Walmart has a black & decker model for like 70$ thats a 700watt or so unit. Autoparts stores usually have them or can order. You can get a small unit for 30$. They would probably run a few strings of lights no problem and plug into a cigarette lighter. Like I said I wanted to get a more robust unit then what walmart had so I  ordered from that web site. It will not run my small pancake air compresser which was something I hoped I could run it on. I have ran my electric drill on this one with no troubles. Its a cool unit.

An inverter might be handy for your RV there Strat if it dont already have one.

Mine will supposedly shut off before it drains your car battery so much it wont start the car.

My display from 2006. 18 Inflatables not all shown in the pictures, 10,000+ lights, etc. Not as good this year because of weather and I was sick for a few weeks oh well maybe next year.

[69bronzeT5]

Well I thought I was beating my neighbour.......and then he put up his lights. I bought more this year and he bought twice as much!

[tomdroptop]

Just went to a house & saw that kinda stuff LIVE this past weekend in Moorestown/Mt Laurel NJ. Awesome in person. The guy has you set you radio station to 88.7 & he has the music play in your car as the lights go & he used the same music (4 songs total)
