One reason why our Pro-Grade® LED Christmas Lights last longer than Incandescent Lights is because they’re not always “on”. They actually flash on and off at an incredible rate of speed that is imperceptible to the human eye. However, some LED Lights flash quicker than others.
When you purchase LED Light Strings or our Pro-Grade® LED Mini Lights always make sure that you’re getting full-wave rectified LEDs. Many of the LED Light Strings or LED Replacement Bulbs sold in the big box stores and other retail outlets may be half-wave rectified, so they flash half as fast and may appear to “flicker”.
Full-wave rectified LED Lights flash twice as fast – an incredible 120 times per second – to provide a bright, constant glow without the appearance of flickering. All of the LED Christmas Lights we sell are commercial grade and full-wave rectified. There’s no flicker because they flash quicker.
LED lights (Light Emitting Diodes) are quickly becoming the preferred choice for holiday lighting due to their energy efficiency. LED lights are much more energy efficient than incandescent lights because they use far less electricity to produce the same amount of light. In fact, LED lights use up to 90% less energy than incandescent lights, which means that you can decorate your home or business with more lights without having to worry about sky-high electricity bills.
Another benefit of LED lights is that they last much longer than incandescent lights. LED lights can last for up to 50,000 hours, which means that you won’t have to replace them for years. In contrast, incandescent lights typically last for only 1,200 hours. This means that you will have to replace incandescent lights much more often, which can quickly add up to a significant amount of money.
LED lights are also much cooler to the touch than incandescent lights, which makes them much safer to use. Incandescent lights can get very hot, which can be a fire hazard if they come into contact with flammable materials. LED lights, on the other hand, are much cooler and pose less of a fire risk.
In conclusion, LED lights are the clear winner when it comes to energy efficiency. They use far less electricity, last much longer, and are much safer to use. So, if you’re looking for an energy-efficient, safe, and cost-effective way to light up your home or business this holiday season, consider investing in LED lights.
