I need some decent quality "Icicle" Christmas lights, preferably extendable. Any suggestions of a supplier? I'm fed up with pouring over 100s of Google hits turning up more and more crappy Premier or Festive domestic ones.

CPC always do tons of lights, as do TLC.
Both trade suppliers, so although it's still bound to be Chinese, it probably won't kill you.

Only 100 days till christmas.
£29.99 per 100 LED 2 meter run plus £5.00 for the power lead. That's a wee bit more than I was expecting to pay. I need about 20m

I just buy the cheapest LEDs from Amazon. Seems to work OK.
Lidl are starting to sell Xmas food this week.

Marginally cheaper, rubber cable and resin sealed LEDs help add to cost.
CPC have had some dire Christmas lights in the past but they do a few range s.
PVC cable and just clear heatshrink , might last a season, seen them descri bed as such wholesale, seasonal LEDs, quite literally meaning intended to l ast for one Diwali/Christmas/Hanukkah, it`s a way of using up seriously out of spec LEDs.

I cant find any on this site. Probably the worst search facility of any site I have used.

Yeah, they do electrics, not websites. Drilling down the categories usually works better.
