The major issue with using the standard string of Christmas
lights in your wine bottle is the high
heat that the lights generate. If you use a string of thirty five lights the
bottle will be too hot to touch. Maybe
not so hot that it will burn your fingers, but quit warm. The longer you leave
the lights on the warmer your wine bottle will be. It could be a safety issue
if you sell your lighted wine bottles and someone picked it up and was startled and
dropped it. You may want to check to see just how hot a wine bottle can get
depending on how many strings lights you inserted. It may surprise you. What about using LED string lights? LED string lights are brighter and
burn much, much cooler. They will last longer and will not cause your lighted
wine bottle to get too hot. I prefer using LED lights in my wine bottles that I
sell or make as gifts. They have one major problem. A string of twenty LED
colored or clear lights cost about three or four times as much as a string of
standard Christmas Lights. The extra cost makes selling your lighted wine
bottles a little more difficult due to the higher price you will need to
charge. Have to tried teeny or rice
lights?
Rice or teeny lights are very bright and also burn very cool.
They are much smaller but give off plenty of bright light for your bottle. They
often come in a count of 20 and can be found in most hobby or crafts stores.
You can use Google search to find your local craft store as well as to check
price. Your comments are always welcome.
