The charger and controller and all wired together and there's no way to select the flashing pattern (or no flashing). If you're geeky, or have a friend that's an electronics experimenter, you could look at the dropping resistors on the controller board and hard wire those between the light string and a 6 volt DC power source. That might work. If you get the string to run steadily, I'd be curious to hear about the specifics of what you did. Good luck! Nope, sorry.
