found this amazing post here about the order but it recommends yellow (vs orange)

How do I find out which wires to reconnect?

Think this is too much for a corner of an intersection?

I’m planning to do C7 vintage-style lights on my tree this coming Christmas, but am not settled on a color theme. Seeking advice and ideas.

I will be going with Tru-Tone’s C7 lights, for the record.

I am nostalgic for the Jeweltone aesthetic (transparent colored glass in rich magenta, blue, red, orange and green). However I’m less sure that works as well with the interior of my home, which is color-drenched in a sandy beige neutral paint, and all my furnishings and basically different shades and texture of neutral off-whites to beiges. So I’m considering the ceramic style opaque C7s, which come in a decently wide range of colors. I’m not keen on the classic color mix (red, green, white, blue, orange), because it’s not nostalgic for me and I don’t love the combined glow. The ceramic opaque C7s are available in the colors of the attached pic. Any combo ideas people think would complement a very neutral beige room?

I don't know if there has been a post about this already (I barely know how to use Reddit, so forgive me if there has), but I wanted to share this with others after the soft, glowy vintage look without the heat and energy usage of incandescents. It can be difficult to find niche items in Canada, especially, so hopefully I can save others some time and money.

I spent an embarrassing amount of time looking for the perfect set of lights, and I decided I loved the look of Menard's Enchanted Forest vintage-style LED line, but at the time I purchased, their website limited me to two C9 sets and I paid $50 USD for shipping to Canada. I found a comparable set on Amazon for roughly the same price, but shipping cost less than $12 CAD and the colours are close enough that they could be used together without it being blatantly obvious that they are different brands. I'd say the biggest difference is the orange on the Amazon set is a little lighter, but I prefer this. This particular brand only had the C7 size available with ceramic shades, but I will update this post if I find a decent deal on ceramic C9s (if there's interest). It seems there are a number of options available if you are okay with plastic covers.

I want them to be white too. All that comes up when I search paper lanterns is big colorful ones. My mom used to have a bunch of tiny covers that cover Christmas light. Any idea of where I could find what I’m looking for?
