A couple years ago I bought a strand of cluster lights at Walgreens, just because. Well, they were awesome and when I went to buy more, they were all gone. Last year I assumed I could find them again and buy more. Nope. I did find one dusty box at another Walgreen's, but that's it.

They are 100-strand mini lights, orange and purple, and they flicker spastically.

Pardon the sideways video. I wasn't thinking...

to give the name of the company, but they weren't exactly branded. They were in a generic box at Wal-Greens. JUst your typical Chinese lighting... Ting Shen is the only name I can find.

My lights are your standard size lights, not the rice lights...

Probably not what you're looking for but Spirit is carrying two tone lights and I believe they are purple and orange. If they have a blinker bulb, it may work for you.

Jdub - I actually made some this way, using green, purple and orange. I just made the green lights blink and it has a nice effect.
