The only thing you will need to make sure of, is the additional lights are from the same company as the original set you purchased.

Energy efficient:

Another benefit is that the LED lights consume approximately 75% less electricity than traditional lights do. If you want to be really economical in your use of electricity or are concerned about using “green power”, you can set up your solar light during the day to get charged so to speak, and then run your outdoor string lighting off solar power.

There really is no limit to the numerous ways you can use your string lighting; string them along the walkway.

As an affordable and safe decoration accessory you simply cannot do better than battery powered christmas lights. The adaptability is truly unmatched and you will have a lot fun decorating with these lights.
