I was refering to typical christmas lights, a cylinder about
an inch long, and about 1/4 inch in diameter, pointy on one
end with a green plastic bayonet base on the other.
Battery operated strings will run for many hours on a
D cell battery pack, and for short periods of operation
(say, praiding around in the halls between classes), they
could be operated on a couple of AA cells in ones pocket.
