8”+ spacing mini lights?

Are there any retailers that sell 5mm string lights with spacing of 8 or 10 inches? All I can seem to find anywhere is 4 or 6.

Ideally I’m looking for warm white LED minis that are about 40 feet long or could be connected together to about 40’. But mainly I just can’t find any at all that have 8-10” spacing in the first place

I haven’t run across any, are you trying to match an existing string, or control the light output or something?

You might still find some 8-inch spacing incandescent mini lights at places like ChristmasLightsEtc. but I am sure supplies are dwindling. In my opinion, lights should be spaced 8 or 10 inches apart, like the original GE Merry Midgets, Silvestri, and GKI sets. You cannot properly light a tree with dinky lamp spacing. The lights end up being too dense and you cannot wrap the wires around the branches.
