Aero Lights

You might buy them from Sierra Valley Trading

It doesn’t appear as if there are CFLs mfg in the USA any more.

Texas Flourescents is another source but may be geared more toward industrial & commercial.

If anyone has any information on a manufacturer in the USA. Please help us.
Thank you!

This is the response I received when searching for string LED lights. It comes from www.Inirgee.com. Innovative Energy Solutions.

“You are facing a true dilemma. I cannot find light strings made in the USA. The problem lies with the fact that the vast majority of consumers want “Wal-Mart” prices and that requires finding foreign manufactories which don’t have to pay American Union wages. Even items which are handcrafted in USA are usually made of components which come from China, India, Pakistan or other foreign land with cheap labor (the vast majority of items in the Hobby Lobby stores is foreign-made for example). So, if you consider our lighted wreaths, or metal-frame displays, the structures may be US made, but the lights will be from China. It is an impossible situation which I find to be frustrating on a number of levels. “
