Nice set of lights that will use minimal amounts of electricity during these times of high electric bills and at a very reasonable price.

BEAUTIFUL SPHERES. BY GKI, THE BEST. ALTHOUGH, I DID PURCHASE THESE FROM ANOTHER CO FOR .80 EACH – 100 LIGHTS, 7 1/2″. GKI IS NOW PRODUCING THESE COLORED SPHERES WITH LED LIGHTS. AT PRESENT, ONLY 36 LIGHTS, 5″ BUT THE COLOR IS BRILLIANT.

I’ve examined every LED Christmas string available in big retail and small specialty stores in the San Francisco Bay Area, getting in trouble plenty of times for plugging products into random outlets for inspection, and I can say this particular Bethlehem Lighting LED set offers the brightest and most vivid colors available. They’ve also managed to completely avoid the strobe effect cheap LED strings suffer from. As for durability, I’ve outlined decks, walkways and such with the clear version and left them operating year-round on a timer for evening illumination; the clear sets are going on two years of service and show no signs of deterioration, despite very heavy rains and scorching hot summers. Also, the clear/white LEDs are crisp and clean so the decorated areas will look upscale and high-tech, with light properties harmonizing with the stars above. Your neighbors (or customers, for businesses) will appreciate the installation of such a refined product.
For tree decorating with the multicolored LEDs, on a 7-foot tree I like to use two strands (connected end-to-end) spiraling up the tree. I then add one set of the standard (incandescent) clear mini-lights, 100 bulbs is great, which must be the “twinkle” version, not constant-on (looks static/dead) and not the electronic flash (looks like a robot) or chase (looks like a billboard) versions. The multicolored LEDs give you the most vivid, pure colors which are truly a pleasure to look at; the standard incandescent mini lights add essential warmth to the tree and give a classic look and feel; the “twinkle” version of the clear traditional mini lights give life and a magical quality to the whole composition.
These multicolor LED strings are also great for outdoor use, but become quite expensive with the configuration I’ve found best, which is three LED strings overlapping in parallel: two multicolor LED strings matched up where the bases of two of the same color lights are touching, then one clear/white LED string with the clear bulbs in the middle of the space between the colored bulb clusters. I’ve done quite a bit of experimenting and this gives the best appearance from a distance – bright, multi-angle color bursts with some white shimmer interspersed. Look in the electrical section of your local hardware store for screw-in plastic wire clamps to keep all three strings mounted nicely, and be sure to keep a steady tension on the wire when installing so they don’t sag.
One final note – anytime you add a lens or bulb shape to an LED you lose light. This strand, which is just LEDs on wire, will give you the brightest colors possible! The Bethlehem Lighting LED strings are a fantastic product for holiday and year-round use!
