L.E.D. Lights

L.E.D. Christmas lights we sell here are the top of the line and most state of the art Christmas lights available anywhere online. Think about this, their colors that will never fade, bulbs that stay lit using minimal power, and no glass to ever break. The bulbs themselves are housed in hard plastic that will protect them for years. Most lighting applications that are lit with Mini Lights and or C7 style bulbs can be lit with LED bulbs! You can have the same effect of mini lights, C7, or C9 bulbs with all the perks of LED bulbs and you won't have to worry about fixing a dead string if a bulb goes out or comes loose, because LED light strings are more durable and dependable. The cost of most LED Christmas Lights might scare most consumers away at first glance but after looking at all the benefits that LEDs provide they will pay for themself season after season. You won't have to buy new lights every season, just pull the L.E.D Light sets out of storage and decorate.

Why Should You Invest in L.E.D Sets?

Compared to regular mini lights, LEDs cost more up front...but they literally pay for themselves through energy savings and long-term durability...thus virtually eliminating the need for set replacement! Most of our standard 35 light count sets of LED lights use only 2.4 watts of power, that's for a while set. If you ran 300 traditional mini lights you'll pull 110 watts, and the same number of LEDs would only use around 20 watts!

Just A Few of the Benefits of L.E.D. Mini Lights...

• 50,000 hour minimum rated bulb life...a truly remarkable estimated life span for a miniature light set.
• Each set uses 80-90% less energy...compared to regular light sets - so they actually pay for themselves!
• Ten plus bulb shapes to choose from! Everything from C7 styles, round bulbs, mini light styles, and more.
• No filament to burn out – the bulb illumination is derived by microchip construction.
• Non-breakable bulbs - they're made of durable polyresin material!
• Vibrant colors won't fade because there's no paint pigment to fade through heat generation.
• Up to 15 Sets end to end, These are UL approved for 3 sets end to end but after testing it is safe to plug up to 15 sets end to end.
• Waterproof, Injection-molded construction.

More about Standard LED connectivity:

The standard plug LED sets have a UL tag that says 3 [ because they are rated as a mini light ] . We have conducted test over the last three years and have tested up to 15 sets end to end for a period of 18 months. These are turned off and on each day and there have been no problems. We have not felt any heat in the wire at all. This 15 sets in this test run puts out the same light as a single set. So We do not believe there is a problem going up to 15 sets. We have had customers tell us they have hooked over 30 sets end to end. The sets that are listed as a commercial type have a special required power adapter. The rating on these say 125 sets behind one power adapter. I personally would not recommend this many. In my opinion this is just to long a of a single run on this wire. The power adapter converts the standard line AC voltage to a DC current and this is why they have this rating.

Why Non-Replaceable Bulbs?

LEDs are polarity specific. If a bulb is removed and then turned around and reinserted, it will not work. If several bulbs have fallen out of the socket over time then it is almost impossible to determine which one is in backwards. In these cases, often the entire set will not light.

LEDs are power specific. Each color of LED requires a different amount of power tin order to work at its highest efficiency. Most replaceable bulb sets are supplied with a red L.E.D. (which is the cheapest). If you replace a lost or defective Blue LED with a red replacement LED it will soon burn out because the socket for the Blue is wired with a much higher power than that for the red. If you were to place a Blue LED in a socket designed for a Red LED. Then it would hardly light. IN GKI / BETHLEHEM LIGHTING SETS, EVERY SOCKET IS SPECIFICALLY WIRED FOR THE COLOR OF LED. THAT IS INSERTED AND PERMANENTLY AFFIXED SO THAT THE BEST PERFORMANCE IS GUARANTEED.

Rust issues make the best case for a non-replaceable LED because the leads of the LED and the copper wire of the cord are different materials, they are susceptible to rust. If any moisture is introduced into the environment of the bulb either in the form of condensation or actual water, it begins to rust. The rusting process is very fast. In these cases, the bulb will rust and literally fall out of the socket within only a few months. THE NON-REPLACEABLE LED IS COMPLETELY WATER TIGHT-NO MOISTURE CAN ENTER THE AREA OF THE CONNECTION AND THEREFORE NO RUST CAN OCCUR.

Commercial LED Information

 These New COMMERCIAL Sets Look Like the "Standard" L.E.D. Sets...So What's Different?

• 4" bulb spacing for the new introduction, M5 (mini) and G 12
• Wider 6" bulb spacing for C6 shape...compared to 4" spacing offered in the standard LED. sets.
• Closer 6"bulb spacing for G25 shape...compared to 8" spacing offered in the standard LED. sets.
• Wider 12" bulb spacing for C7 and C9...compared to the 8"spacing found in the standard sets.
• Proprietary plugs for safer, more secure connections. Coaxial connections offer watertight, tamper-proof solutions.
• Incredible 125-set Connectability for the Entire Line of Commercial-Grade L.E.D!

YES...you read that correctly. This new commercial-grade series offers unparalleled Connectability thanks to heavier 20-gauge wiring and other engineering improvements. At only .02 amp current (1.8 watts) per set, these sets are revolutionizing our industry and all related lighting applications around the world.
