1. What type of LED lights do you use to outline the roof or eve's of the house? I have all C-6 LED from Paul's sale last year and am trying to put another order together this year. Does anyone use C-6 with the mini base for this or is there another way?

2. How do you "black out" the lights on a LED string? Do you use black electrical tape or is there a better way.

Any help would be appreciated.

I used C6 LEDs on the sides and front of my roof last year and was happy with them.  The only downside was putting them up with all those shingle clips; the spacing is four inches compared to the 12 inches for C9.  As for blacking out, I just use black electrical tape.  It does the job and didn't come off in the rain.

What are blackout caps? Where do you get them and what size LEDS do they fit over? --Greg--

Has anyone used Paul's C-9 stringers that are on the spreadsheet? Not the replacement bulbs but the actual strings that you can anamate. Is the light as bright and brilliant as the C-6 strings? Should I use these on my roof other than the C-6's

They are just small, black sleeves that slide over minilights so the light doesn't show.
