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.

Can't say about ALI, but I have ordered maybe 20 or 30 things from China off
Ebay. They usually take 2 to 3 weeks to get here just like the ebay page
says. Somehow China helps their companies with the postage so I have been
told. That way they can ship out things that cost just a couple of dollars
and the price is still very low. I just ordered two LED bulbs for a
flashlight and it took two weeks. The total price was only around $ 11
including the shipping. I bought a cable a while back and the total cost on
it was less than $ 2.
