Outside Christmas LED Lights -- dull and weak....

Ok, so this year I went out to buy some more outside Christmas lights. Much to my surprise, I could not find any REAL *lights, just the fake led lights. I looked at all the big box stores, including Lowe's, Home Depot, and Target. *All I could find was the fake led lights. So, I bought a set of *led *lights strings with C7 *led lights. * *50 lights on a string, total wattage of *3.7 watts. * *They say these are much cheaper to run because of the low wattage. * But, I have seen that you get what you pay for. * These lights are dull and weak looking. Does anyone here know of any store that still sells real outside Christmas lights, or have they all been outlawed too ? Thanks for any info on where I can purchase non-fake Christmas lights !! James Dont know if its the same problem you had but two years ago I put out some "white" LED lights and they were dull dim yellow in reality. I discovered this is because they only run on one half of each AC cycle so they are ON only 50% 0f the time. I corrected this problem using a bridge rectifer mounted in a quad outlet box. The only problem with this scheme is that the lights are polarity sensitive and wont come on at all if plugged in the wrong way(rotate light string plug 180 degrees). Otherwise the lights are much more brighter and vivid. Jimmie |
