Tree Lights

How do I make Christmas tree lights blink and chase?

I remember as a child, our family had lights that would either blink, chase or twinkle. It seems like they would blink in rhythm to the music as well. I THOUGHT I remembered my dad had bought an attachment that just plugs into the wall, then you plug the light strings into it. I have looked at Walmart, Target and Joann Etc. I didn’t find anything that would seem to do this. Has anyone seen this around? Thank you!

Michael’s, Lowe’s and Home Depot have this box, that plays christmas music… and you plug your lights in and they blink in pattern to the music (remember the YouTube video last year with the house that blinked to the music?? it does that)… if you dont want to pay $60 to make you lights blink to the music…

You can get running lights from Walgreens or CVS, i dont know of a box that you can add to exsisting lights to make them run. I DO know of “blinker bulbs”. They are available at Wal-mart, with the spare bulbs, They are white bulbs with red tips. You replace the first bulb closest to the socket with the blinker bulb. When it warms up (Takes a minute or two) the lights blink! it was like $2 for 4 blinker bulbs. A lot of solid light stings have the extra bulb/fuse bag when you first open them… they have spare bulbs incase one goes out… and ONE of those, is usually a blinker.
