I'm by no means an expert on Christmas lights, but I have to buy more of
them than I'd like each year, and I can tell you for sure that LED lights
are available but still way to expensive for my taste. I don't know about
the series-wired vs. non series-wired, but I know that a lot of new strings
funciton the exact same way they did when I was a kid. Which wasn't the
first Eisenhower administration, but I'll bet the technology is similar.
