| Not a chance, those diodes( the LEDS) won't even get above room temp if ran at their rated voltages. and to
further this the voltages used to light the LEDs isn't anywhere near enough to create a hot enough spark. you'd blow out most of the diodes long
before and IF( and this is a big IF) there was a spark it wouldn't do much but catch your eye. In short there is no way that a led light string can do
much of anything except light up. How this relates to the OP I don't know.
