    Also, I think the lights would be perfectly happy being plugged in like that because they are LEDs. I don’t know how many it would take stacked like that before you would have trouble, but I feel like it would be a lot more.

      I was comparing lights two weeks ago. The sets I was looking at had 150 bulbs. The manufacturer recommended a max of 4 incandescent strings in series. For led it was 30 in series. Led only draws around 7 watts each.

        Yeah and 7watts at 120 volts is only around 60mA. To get to a standard home circuit’s 15 amps (15,000mA) would take 250 LED strings. There may be some inrush current, but not of there are resistors in the led sets (every set I own has em).
