Thanks you and wish you all a great 2021

Great question!  I was wondering the same (especially when putting lights around windows).  As this is my first year doing this, I have used cheap copper wire LED's (£5 for 12 meters) which work great!  You can cut them at any length but you do need to watch for overcurrent if going really short.
