Reviving the revival of a revived thread...
What Phillip said about the old/incandescent type of Christmas lights is good advice. There is a lady at our church (who happens to live on the route we take to church) who has a satsuma tree against the south side of her house. The tree has been there many years and when temperatures drop below freezing suddenly it's Christmas time for the satsuma tree!!! The lights work great and she makes a great crop every year. This is in south Alabama about 50 miles south of Montgomery.
