Not that it helps indoors, but I got a 100 LED string light set the other day, it has a little solar panel (it works!) and has a light sensor and on/off switch, so all bases covered. The price needs to come down, but I will likely end up throwing away or giving away my giant old tangled collection of string lights, and replacing them when I can, as LEDs become cheaper. After Christmas is a good time for that.
