Looking to decorate the outside of my house this year with a heap of lights, any type of icicle lights, rope lights, fairy lights etc. Doesn't really have to be outdoor specific as I can put them out of the rain but still outside.
Has anyone found good deals? I know I can get this stuff anywhere, I'm not asking "where can I buy Christmas lights", but where can I get more bang for my buck?
Delivery from anywhere, or pickup in Melbourne :)
I found this for you.

10M 100LED Fairy lights. $5.69
Free Shipping.
They have other variations as well.
I have read the reviews and they sound ok. Cheap to run being LED. You will need adapter though.
Pretty sure you can use this one for $0.75 (better double check pictures)

Anyway I just checked delivery times and can be from 10 to 40 days after they post. Gives you idea of price or hopefully orders come quick!
Visit Pete in chirnside park, Pete's bargain center. Just above the new jb hifi. Sells the lights per meter off the rolls., huge range.
I don't have specific advice, but when thinking about bang/buck consider how much this is going to cost you in electricity. You may soon find that lots of cheap lights are not so cheap after all.
Edit: Also, lights cause fires, and if you are using indoor lights outside (even if that isn't the issue at all) the insurance company may use that as an excuse not to pay.
