That's the size I'm thinking of, and my dad also had a string of colored lights the size of regular light bulbs that he would put up around above the mantle in the living room. I really liked those and have a similar string of big LED lights, but it's not quite the same.
We had two strings of the night light sized bulbs that we would put up on our arbor out front, but the vines on that got a bit overgrown and then the whole thing collapsed after a big snowstorm. :^(
Those vines are horrible and I found this summer that they had spread about ten feet or so underground and then came up to attack our mountain laurel...I need to rip all those vines out, even though my wife will scream blooding murder about killing poor plant. It's invasive and she made a terrible decision in picking it as a decorative planting.
