Comment on Technology Connections: LED Christmas lights which don't hurt the eyes: it finally happened!

Here I am still using the old as fuck Christmas lights from the 80s or something my parents always used when I was a kid. Incandescent. White. The color is from the tinted glass surrounding the actual bulb. If one light dies, so does the entire string after it.

I only buy incandescents because I can’t stand flickery, LEDs. Christmas for me is about that feeling of warmth and nostalgia for childhood. There is no reason why LEDs should be like this, so I can’t wait to watch the video to see how well they fixed them.

Same. I’ve tried LEDs and they really don’t cut it for christmas lights, so I stick with incandescent, at least in the house. LEDs outside might be fine, but I rarely get around to putting up outside decorations.
