This is about the large classic bubble lights. There are also miniature bubble lights that are rather unimpressive and in my experience only last a season due to poor quality electrical connections and series-type wiring.
The dyed methylene chloride (also called dichloromethane) used in bubble lights is moderately toxic and slightly carcinogenic, though it is widely used as a paint remover and metal degreaser. The dye in it can stain floors or rugs if a light if broken.
