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.
