LED lights and electronic Christmas ornaments
Sunday, November 25th, 2007 - 7:12pm
I am considering getting new LED lights for the Christmas tree but I can't tell if LED light bulbs are removalable or compatible with half my ornaments. I have a ton of Star Trek and Star Wars ornaments that plug into the bulb sockets, and I can't tell if this is possible with LED strings. Anyone have any insight on this? I don't really want to run a non-LED string just for the those ornaments.
If they are the kind of ornaments that plug directly into the bulb socket then it's not likely to work. The led bulbs I know of are not removable.
The voices say hello.
I do not think those are compatible.
On this same subject, does ANYONE sell 100-150 strand LED lights for "reasonable" amounts of money? I've got 150 and 200 lights/strand sets right now, and you can only string three strands together (according to the safety statement). The LED lights are 50-60 lights per strand, but still with the 3 strand limit. Obviously the light density is going to be a lot less if you stick to their suggestion. Considering the LED's are lower power, I would have thought it would be safer to daisy chain more than three strands together.
I think the safety concern is still there with running power through longer strands of lights. They probably use thinner wire in those LED strands because the power requirement is so low which means they heat up quicker and the longer your chain of lights the more resistance there is for the electricity which generates heat in the wire which means even more resistance and so on.
