[vintagvw] Using Christmas lights on 12 volt

Volks, Just curious. Has anyone calculated how to operate a string of LED Christmas lights on a 12-volt system? Who knows what voltage range the LEDs operate on? I can see lots of interesting uses if it’s an easy conversion. I know they have a miniscule current draw and great light output

Now that they are so inexpensively available just use them with a cheap, low wattage, inverter. A string of 50 LED Christmas lights uses 4.8 watts according to the box (50 incandescents was 21 watts). So, with a cheap 500 watt peak (350watt continuous) inverter you can run 73 strings of lights.
