Another idea that may work would be to buy a set of 120 VAC lights and do a little cutting and splicing. The bulbs in those strings vary from about 1.5 volts up to 3 volts or more rating depending on the particular set. How do they do that? By wiring the bulbs in series. 1 hundred bulbs wired in series and connected to 120 volts = 1.2 volts across each bulb. If the bulbs were 1.2 volt bulbs, you could cut and splice until you had several strings of 10 bulbs each in series. Then connect to a 12 volt battery and you would have 1.2 volts across each bulb just as before. Those sets are pretty cheap. The 12 volt ones are not. I think they generally tell you on the package what the bulb voltage is.
