nipster 10 Posted December 18, 2020 Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 (edited) Over the past few years, I have converted my entire indoor/outdoor display to LED except a very few niche items: - Pre-constructed outdoor wire / furry "critters" (deer, penguins) which use incandescent mini's. As LED versions become available, I will replace them - One strand of 25 twinkling multi C7's I have on my Christmas tree to supplement the 7 strands of 25 LED C7's I have on my tree - One short strand of 12 twinkling clear C7's for a row of red plastic bells which flash - Two strands of 25 twinkling multi C9's in a large bush, supplementing 200 LED Multi C9's What is the best current twinkling C7/C9 LED's for these applications? A couple years ago I bought a pack to try them out and they were not at all random, I ended up with them just "blinking" mostly at the same time, which was really annoying. Also looking for a good transparent multi LED, for both twinkle and for C7/C9 that has the "filament" look. I am considering changing the "strand" LED's I currently use with retrofitted C7/C9 strands for a better look. I saw some REAL nice ones at Disney World last year and wish I could have gotten the brand Edited December 18, 2020 by nipster Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Joeyohhhh 1 Posted January 2 Report Share Posted January 2 I had luck with these for a strand of Halloween Blinky blow mold pieces as well as a couple strands of bells outside. Check out the video but it takes a minute or two for them to start blinking independently from each other. https://www.christmaslightsetc.com/p/C7-Twinkle-Multicolor-Smooth-OptiCore-LED-Christmas-Light-Bulbs-15071.htm IMG_1437.MOV Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rotatorman 23 Posted January 2 Report Share Posted January 2 I watched the Christmas Lights Etc. video and was disappointed they didn’t show the lights twinkling. I wasn’t sold on purchasing, especially at that price. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nipster 10 Posted January 4 Author Report Share Posted January 4 That price is pretty steep. $2 per bulb... Also, the specific application I am looking for is for a transparent (clear/crystal) C7 type, it seems like they only have these in Ceramic or those god awful looking slotted bulbs, which I won't use... Thanks for the recommendation though... this application may work for my clear needs (my bells), but not the ones on the tree Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Joeyohhhh 1 Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 No Problem Yes they are pricey, I had a coupon code and enough projects to make the purchase worth my while Quote Link to post Share on other sites
