Trying up my game of LED Christmas lights this year. Any suggestions.

First of all I'm a cheapskate.

Thats why I have been using LED solars.

This year I'd like to up my game from LED solars to something like C9 stringers and C9 bulbs.
But they seem to be on the expensive side.
And I can only find for American 120v.

Any suggestions for a inexpensive step above the LED lights that can be used safely outside in Australia?

Thanks in advance.

There are a lot of 240v outdoor LED Xmas lights around, Woolies and Coles even sell them. I have heaps of them, some last to use the following year some don't. I don't think they are very uv or summer heat proof (read cheap and nasty)

They are a lot brighter than the solar ones too!
