These LEDs connect directly to the 120v supply. There is no visible
converter. The plugs are even normal size for an incandescent string of
lights so I don't think there's anything hiding in there except a fuse.
They look exactly like a normal string of small incandescent bulbs
except that they're LEDs. The bulbs also pop in and out of sockets like
they would if they were small incandescent bulbs. Bulbs are stated to
be 2 volts and 0.04 watts. A box of them consists of either 2 strings
of 90 bulbs or 3 strings of 60 bulbs for 180 bulbs drawing only 7.2 watts.
