Retrofit LED Lights

C7 LED Lights

LED Christmas Lights are available as either prelamped strings, or individual replacement retrofit lamps. There are many advantages to using LED Retrofit Lamps. LED Retrofit Lamps are LED bulbs that can be used in an existing C7 or C9 light stringer that has traditionally been used with incandescent bulbs. Retrofit LED replacement bulbs use the same C7 and C9 bases as incandescent bulbs, making the transition from traditional bulbs to energy saving LED lights easier and more affordable.

The public is becoming increasingly more aware that the primary advantage of the LED Retrofit lamp over the conventional incandescent bulb is in its energy savings. LED lamps typically use 10% of the power required by conventional incandescent lamps to operate, saving energy expenses and helping reduce your energy footprint. LED Retrofit lamps are more efficient in that the majority of the power is used in producing light. Most of an incandescent bulb's power (80-90%) is wasted in the form of heat that is needed to achieve the desired light output. Tungsten filaments in incandescent bulbs tend to burn out sooner resulting in a shorter lamp life. Our LED Retrofit lamps have a rated life of over 50,000 hours, meaning fewer bulb changes. The faceted hard plastic cover allows more of the light to be emitted and serves to better protect the inner LED lamp and its associated electronics. LED lights are more resistant to shock and temperature change as opposed to incandescent bulbs which can be easily damaged.

Light Stringers

G20 LED Lights

LED Retrofit lamps are as easy to install as any replacement bulb. Simply use your existing C7 or C9 light strands or spools in combination with our screw-in LED Retrofit lamps. Additionally, our uniquely designed G20 lamps use the same lamp socket as a conventional C7 light, allowing for variety in lighting options. The G20 measures 20 millimeters at its widest diameter, and is an attractive and contemporary LED bulb. The G20s utilize 3 LEDs in their construction, offering a light output that rivals that of the C7 and C9 LED Retrofit lamps. Upgrading to LED lights has never been easier or made more sense, and the variety of bulb sizes and shapes continues to increase.

C9 LED Lights

LED Retrofit lamps provide the option of custom designing your light string with a specific color pattern. For example, if you are creating an alternating green and red light pattern, the LED Retrofit lamps provide you with the added flexibility to choose the colors you want as opposed to having one color lamp in your light string. Two components make up the LED light: the semiconductor (LED) and the electronics (drivers) that provide the power to the LED. Some manufacturers tend to overpower the LED in an effort to achieve a greater light output. The negative effect is you receive greater light output with a tradeoff of having a shorter lamp life. We at Christmas Lights Etc. work closely with our manufacturers in achieving an optimal balance in providing maximum light output and longer life for all our LED products.

Our LED's have a 0.016% failure rate compared to an average failure rate of 2.65% for all other manufacturers tested. Our LED's maintain 92.2% of their original brightness after 1,000 hours of use compared to a 67% average for all other manufacturer tested. In an accelerated weathering a test, our LED lights were subjected to high humidity and UV radiation to simulate outdoor use. Our lights had a 0.00% failure rate compared to a 5.2% failure rate for all other manufacturers tested. LED Retrofit bulbs offer an attractive alternative to conventional Christmas lights. In the long term, LED products will save you money both in your energy bills andthe cost of replacement bulbs.
