2009 LED Pre-Order Event

The 2009 LED Pre-Order Event has begun at LEDHolidayLighting.com
The sale runs through 2/28/09. Travis has some very good prices, and does not restrict to purchasing in case quantities. You can buy as many or few as you want.

Current plan: 5335+ lights
I've been calculating how many strings of which types/colors/count I'll need to purchase for what I have planned. Based on Travis' pricing, it looks like about $700.00 in lights yet to purchase (only slightly more than I was initially estimating); however I'm still hoping to lower my cost on the icicle lights. My current plan calls for:
12 strings of 50 C6 White
8 strings of 50 C6 Multi-color
8 strings of 70 M5 White Icicle
30 strings of 50 M5 Green
10 strings of 50 M5 White
2 strings of 50 M5 Multi-color
1 string of 70 M5 Multi-color
3 strings of 35 5mm Red
10 strings of 50 5mm Red
10 strings of 50 5mm Green
10 strings of 50 5mm Blue

Light-O-Rama controllers
I'm also seriously toying with the idea of building the LOR controllers from the full kit. This means soldering - certainly not my favorite thing to do, but it will save me a bit of money that adds up in the long run.
