They are such crap. I hate them so much I print put papers at Christmas time thats say all the bad things about LEDs you never are told and then I go and tape them up at the local stores next to the LED light displys and the boxed lights. If you are like me and hate them I highly think you should do they same. I HATE LED Christmas lights. They are such crap.

I love the paitned ceramic of the old c7 and c9. I think that and something like traditional miniatures would sell and be very pleasing.

Yes, the pure white is 'bright' and still somewhat blue. It's one of those love or hate deals. But the main reason for my comments is for those that can not stand the flicker in the light sets. We have Full-Wave technology (newest on the market) that does not drive you crazy to look at. The power cycle is now flicker free, however, most lights on the market are still the old half wave and flicker. When looking for LED lights make sure you get only the Full-Wave and you too will be enjoying LED lighting. After seven years of importing I have heard all kinds of likes and dislikes and the one's talked about here are the most common. We now offer a soft white for those that do not like the 'cold' white. Check out the next generation of lighting and if I can help let me know. I have read the above comments and wanted to reply to a few of them. Yes, the pure white is ‘bright’ and still somewhat blue.

You can leave them on all the time, laugh at your fathers admonition to "save" electricity by turning them off for the night and laugh at your mother's fear that they'll overheat and set the house on fire while you sleep. They're brighter and crystalline and they DO sparkle (and you can get them to 'twinkle' if you have a cruddy power utility connection ;) They brighten up your yard without lighting up the whole place like day, so you actually have contrast between light & dark. I'm lusting after the new big-size bulbs that look exactly like 1950's bulbs, I'll plug them in and get nostalgic. PS My grandmother hated Xmas light in the 1940's, "too newfangled" - she much preferred candles burning on every branch. Eeek - progress is good.

It's a very cheap addition, for a very noticable improvement. Heck, they could use the first couple LED's in the string to MAKE a rectifier for no additional cost at all!

The fit into the window and look great except that the bulbs are amber. I want the same in clear white to keep in my windows year round. I have researched for hours several nights, and I find nothing othet than amber. Do you know where I might find these?
