Do you have to use Christmas lights with this or can other types of lights be used?

It will flash anything that is plugged into it. If you want other than Christmas music you will need to use your MP3 player.

You can use almost any type of lights as long as they have a standard 3 prong pulg and as long as they do not over power the unit and blow the fuse

I suppose yoou could use other lights - However, yo need to be real careful about the amps being pulled as this is not a commercial systme and you burn fuses up real quick.

Yes, CFL bulbs can be used but note it comes with candelabra bulb fittings.

Yes you can use regular light bulbs but the light is not designed for them. The bulbs will have a shorter usage before they burn out and there is an additional threat of fire from overheating.

This one did not come with lights, they do sell this item with lights. I purchased lights separately. This is a good time of the year to purchase lights if you do not order one with the lights.

I assume that you can use any of them. I chose this item because I wanted to use LED bulbs in them. LED bulbs outshine other lights without any appreciable heat, while using a fraction of the electricity. I am very satisfied with this item and the LED bulbs I use in them.

I used candelabera lights. I already had them but you could find them anywhere including Lowes and Home Depot or even Walmart.

We used it for some of our old time Christmas Decorations. It works great. Typically we wrap the connecting cords with electrical tape just to be safe.

Yes, you can use CFLs. I put small flood bulb in mine to use as a task light. Works and looks great.

Sure. You need to plug it in. I'd be careful of overexposure to the elements. Taking it out for a party would be appropriate. Leaving it out as a Christmas decoration would probably result in damage.

Sorry, I'm not sure I'm not using it until after Christmas because I have twinkling Christmas tree lights and you can't really tell the fake TV is on.

No yellow lights on my four different strings of lights....red, green and blue. And they work very well although I only used them at Christmas time. I installed them on the antique windmill tower in my front yard and at night it looked like I had the biggest Christmas tree here in the mountains.

Yes, without a problem. It is a great tool for Christmas decorations if you do not want to put the mini lights on and just highlight the door or walkway.

I strung two together, these are just like your standard Christmas light strands, one male plug on one end, a female on the other. Not sure of there is a limit on how many you are allowed to string together.

I used the transformer that coming with the LIGHT and I don't know if you can use it other than that

I haven't tried that but I'm sure you could. It's no different then a set of Christmas lights

No, I have 4 strands on my Christmas tree mixed in with my other lights. The ambiance is awesome. Perfect 4 wedding

You can if you like, but it's not necessary. I left my lights outside all winter (in Detroit, MI): the coldest and snowiest on record for the past 120 years! They worked beautifully all winter long (except perhaps when they were covered with snow.) They still worked like brand new as soon as the snow melted and they could recharge in the sun again! If anything, the "glass" is a smidge cloudier than when they were brand new straight out of the box (and after a whole year of use), but they still look good and give off good light. Best solar fixtures I've ever purchased. I'm very happy with them. You can if you like, but it's not necessary.
