I'm trying to put together a project for my screened in porch. I would
like to hang some fancy wine bottles from the ceiling at various
heights. I would like them lit, so using the LED filament strips would
be nice touch. The LED filament strip could be inserted from the top
open end of the bottle. I've found them in 2 places, ALI Express and
Amazon. ALI was cheapest at .91 each strip. I've done a lot of Googling
and that's all I've come up with, except for lots of link to LED
filament bulbs, which I really don't want. I've always hesitated from
ordering direct from Europe or Asia. Anyone have any experiences with
ALI? I know they were just in the news, I think something about going
public or some other financial thing (I'm an engineering nerd, so excuse
my lack of financial knowledge). Also, anyone here play with these LED
filament strips? Any 1st hand info would be great.



I don't know about the quality, but at 91 cents it's not much of a gamble.

As to ordering from overseas, the first time I did it, was inadvertently
and the stuff I ordered shipped from China.
To those who say we should not deal with China, I say "BS" because what
I got was exactly the same Chinese stuff that I could get here...only at
1/10th the price.


No problem at all with the product...but it did of course take longer to
get here. Usually 10 days.



OTOH: You may not need LEDS at all, you may find that you and your
friends "get lit" in the very process of producing the /empty/ wine bottles.
