LED Christmas Lights

Bulb shape is an important choice on most displays. It determines how the light looks when viewed up close or from the street.

C9 and C7 bulbs - The cone-shaped bulbs used to outline a house. C9 is the larger of the two and the usual choice for rooflines, driveways and walkways, where it stands out from a greater distance. C7 is the smaller, a finer scale that shows well where a display is viewed up close. Both are sold as replacement bulbs and as complete sets on a stringer.

Lux360™ D5™ - bulbs combine a higher-output LED chip with a proprietary technology that diffuses light to create 360-degree saturation with richer color, radiant coverage and a consistent appearance from every angle. Perfect for any Christmas light display.

5mm Wide Angle - The concave lens on a 5mm bulb projects light in a starburst halo, so the lights look bright even from the street. A common choice for wrapping trees.

M5 and T5 mini lights - These are the classic mini-light silhouette in LED, suited to indoor trees, garland and railings. M5s feature a diamond-faceted lens; T5s a smooth transparent lens.

C6 and G12 - Two small faceted shapes, the strawberry (C6) and the raspberry (G12). Both work on small bushes and trees, and both look good at close range for parties and events.

Globe Lights - Larger round bulbs, used where the bulb itself is part of the look rather than a point of light in a line.

Where bulb shape decides how a light looks, set style decides where it installs. Most displays use two or three together.

LED mini lights - LED string lights with small bulbs closely spaced along a flexible wire, in Lux360 D5, 5mm wide angle, M5, T5, C6 and G12. They wrap trees and greenery, run along railings and mantels, and light a room as easily as a fenceline.

C7 and C9 LED bulbs - The bulbs that outline a house, driveway or walkway, and light large Christmas trees, indoors or out. Sold as replacements by the box or as complete sets with a stringer sized to hold them. Bulbs are interchangeable, so you can change colors or replace one without buying a whole new set.

Net lights - Net lights are string lights where every bulb sits at a fixed spacing on a grid, so light covers a bush, trunk or column evenly, the work of several strings in a single drape. A standard 4'x6' net goes over most shrubs in under a minute.

Trunk wraps - Net lights for trees and columns. Our StretchNet Pro tree wrap light is a patented stretchable Christmas light that covers tree trunks, columns, pillars, and posts in seconds. Built-in clips secure it, no zip ties needed.

Icicle lights - Icicle lights hang on drops of varying length from a horizontal wire, so the strand looks like a row of icicles. They are the best Christmas lights for gutters and eaves.

Rope light - A continuous flexible tube rather than individual bulbs, used to outline shapes, edges and railings where an unbroken line of light is wanted.

Shape and style decide where the lights go. Color and effect decide what the display feels like once they are up.

Warm white and cool white. Warm white produces a soft, classic glow that recreates the look of traditional incandescent Christmas lights. Cool white produces a crisp, bright look evoking ice and snow, and a more high-contrast look from the street.

Color and multicolor. Past the whites, the range runs through red, green, blue, amber, gold, purple, pink and teal, plus multicolor sets and themed color combinations. Color is infused into the lens itself, so it will not fade, chip or crack.

Twinkle, SoftTwinkle and color change. Twinkle lights add movement by turning individual bulbs on and off at set intervals. SoftTwinkle bulbs fade in and out slowly and independently instead, so the display shimmers rather than blinks. Color change lights shift between colors, either blinking from one to the next or transitioning smoothly, depending on the style.
