    Hi William,


    I have used the Command brand hangers for my LED lights. There are some store brands that cost a little less that the Command brand, they also come in clear so you don't see them so easily, and they are reusable. They're available in different sizes, so hopefully there's a size, color, and price that will help you install the LED lights.


    I recently installed those "fairy" LEDs (they have very small lights joined together by what seems to be a single copper or silver strand) with very smal pieces of clear masking tape (the type you might use to send packages works best) in a bookcase. The look great, and no one has seen the tape! These thin fairy lights also bend easily (which also makes them a bit fragile) around corners and such. Not sure what type of LEDs you're using, but they're great since they don't get hot, use very little electricity, and last a very long time.


    Best of luck!

    Depending on what you want to do, there are battery operated LED lights available.

    These battery operated lights, even though they are small, eat batteries like crazy. If you do decide to go with battery operated, get rechargeable.
