In Trees , Lawn , Twinkle Lights for Party?

We have low voltage landscape lighting, but how to add other lighting when electrical is too far away? For parties, I'd like to add Japanese lanterns and twinkle lights in trees , without ugly extension cords. Is there such a thing as an auxiliary battery for lighting? I am clueless. TIA

    There are solar possibilities for sure...batteries seem possible. I know the flame-less candles in mason jars are battery operated. They are also solar powered.

    Battery operated LED fairy lights. :)

    Thank you, but I really dislike LED . :( Even the " warm" ones wouldn't match our low voltage lights...they look like weak lemonade. I want to use our existing Christmas string lights .

    If you're going to use your plug in Christmas lights your options are extension cord or noisy generator.

    That's the answer I was looking for. Thanks so much, maddielee. I was just hoping there was some electric batrtery thing I was unaware of. Nada, as I was afraid.

    You could run a set of lights off a car-type battery with an inverter.

    You could use something like a Goal Zero. Depends on how long you need to run the lights and the wattage that the lights consumes.

    I think it was Walmart where I purchased the battery operated lights a couple of years ago. They're the regular little mini lights and sell out very quickly. I use themin my antique booth.

    If you bury your extension cords in conduit along the edge of your planting beds or patio space you can run your electric to wherever you need it in the yard, without seeing cords.

    Patty - cakes, do you know the brand of your little lights? Thank you, landis. Yep, can do that, but just wondered if there was another way.

    As greywings said above...

    You can get an ac power inverter. This attaches to a car or marine battery and has a few plugs for your lights. There are different wattage sizes.. I'm guessing christmas lights don't draw a lot of juice. You'd have to recharge the battery as well.

    Google battery operated string lights.

    We found solar lights for our front porch. They are a nice white not to warm. I believe we ordered them through Woot on sale, you could probably find them online through another vendor.
