C6 Strawberry |
The C6 strawberry light is a much smaller version of the larger traditional C9 style incandescent Christmas lights. While much smaller than a C9 size Christmas light and consuming 99% less energy, the C6 strawberry light is quite bright and will not disappoint. The decorative, faceted lens does a good of softening and diffusing the LED light for an attractive glowing appearance. These features make the C6 a great choice for indoor displays, entryway displays or other locations where the observers will be in close physical proximity to the display. The decorative lens also make the lights a great choice for applications where the bulb will be highly visible. The C6 is approximately 1” in length and ½” at its widest point at the base. |
Christmas Mini Lights |
The Christmas mini light is the most traditional of all the Christmas light bulb styles. The bulb style is attractive because it is small and brilliant. The small bulb style works well with LED lights as it diffuses the highly directional LED light very efficiently. Perhaps more importantly, the LED mini light emulates the style of the most traditional Christmas style light. Our LED mini lights feature a durable epoxy plastic lens which is nearly indestructible. The clear lens is also faceted to help evenly diffuse the brilliant LED light. The mini light is approximately 3/4" in length and 1/8" in diameter. This is a perfect chose if you are looking for an energy efficient replacement for your traditional incandescent mini lights. LED mini lights are great for Christmas trees, wrapping outdoor trees, railings and other decorative applications where a smaller and brilliant light is desired. |
Wide Angle Christmas Lights |
Our Wide Angle bulb is the brightest, most focused of our LED string lights. The small wide angle bulb evenly distributes the LED light in all directions. The wide angle bulb style produces the most consistent light output which is not affected by the angle from which the light is observed. Our wide angle style bulb is recommended for indoor and outdoor displays for Christmas trees, wrapping trees, or other applications where bright, even light distribution is important. The wide angle bulb is approximately the size of an eraser head on a pencil and is a great alternative to traditional mini lights. |
G12 Raspberry |
The G12 raspberry Christmas light is a small, faceted, globe-shaped bulb that is similar in size to a small raspberry. It is approximately ½” long and ½” in diameter. The light produced by the G12 is only slightly more diffuse than the light output of our Christmas mini light. The slightly larger, rounded bulb softens the impact of the light only slightly will enhancing and completing the light output distribution. Our G12 raspberry light is a good choice for indoor or outdoor displays that will be viewed at close distances by observers and where a well-balanced, bright, and diffuse light source is desired. We recommend the G12 for entryway bushes or shrubs, large wreaths, Christmas trees or wrapping small outdoor trees. |
C7 & C9 Strawberry |
The C7 and C9 are the largest Christmas lights we offer. The smaller C7 bulb is less than 2 inches (1.29") tall and has a diameter of less than 1 inch (.86"). The larger C9 bulb is just over 3 inches tall with a diameter of just over 1 inch (1.12"). The C7 (E12 base) replacement bulbs utilize 3 high power LEDs per bulb while the C9 (E17) base. LED replacement bulbs use 5 high power LEDs. Both the C7 and C9 have a light or lumen output which is comparable to incandescent. The C7 or C9 replacement bulbs are a great choice for those looking to replace their inefficient incandescent C7 or C9 Christmas lights. Both the C7 and C9 retrofit bulbs use only .96 watts per bulb and will last for 50,000 hours or more. Our retrofit replacement bulbs can be used with any standard C7 or C9 socket wire. C7 and C9 bulbs are great for large outdoor trees, building outlines, roof lines, and eaves. |
