Help me pick a product

I saw something like this at a zoo event about 5 years ago. Multiple thin rods of slightly flexible lights stuck in the ground near ornamental grass. It looked really good and I want to try something similar this year. I just don't know how.

Is this a product you recognize?

Repost: Search for slow twinkle fairy lights

Hi all,

This is a repost so I can include a photo for context in case that's helpful.

I've been searching for a while, so I'm not sure if what I am looking for exists. I'm looking for a very thin string of fairy lights (ie small lights on a thin wire) that are no more than 4-5 ft long (plug in or battery operated is fine), LED, and that have that slow twinkle effect (not flashing like a strobe light).

I'm looking for a twinkle effect that is similar to these:
White SoftTwinkle LED Christmas Lights by Christmas Lights ETC

I am hoping to add soft twinkle lights underneath the moss in my pinned insect art displays. The photo here is an example without lights. I think it would add some whimsy and that "magical forest" effect with the right lights.

Does anyone have any recommendations or know if such a thing exists?

Thank you!

Looking to get some ideas for lights for the backyard setup

Hello everyone. I am looking to get a head start on our Christmas lighting game plan this year. November 1st is when we put up the tree so want to get eve ready prior to then outside. We already have the front of the house dialed in and are planning to install permanent lighting on a few of the main front trees. The back, however, is definitely lacking. I am planning to wrap the blue spruce facing the backyard so it functions as a centerpiece Christmas tree, but I would love some input on what to do inside the gate. I am thinking about decorating the two Green Giants with lights, but should I stop at the trees or also line the exterior house and roofline? If I do line the house, what bulbs would you suggest? I want to avoid those harsh, cold daylight-white LEDs. I prefer vintage-style colored lights or that warm, soft yellow glow. Any ideas or recommendations would be appreciated.

winter does hit this area pretty good if that helps

European Christmas Lights

We saw in Germany last Christmas, all these single color strands of Christmas lights, but they had really bright white flashing lights integrated into the strand. We can’t find those in the United States, we don’t even know what they’re called. Does anybody know if these are available in the United States and what the style is called specifically?
