I'm sorry but LED christmas lights are not nearly as nice as the incandescent christmas lights. the LEDs look a bit harsh and ugly. Old skool incandescent christmas lights look much warmer and nicer
Thanks for posting this. I have always hated the LEDs look. The blue is just terrible. But the dimmer seems to give it a more traditional look. I have yet to see a "warm clear" LED that can compare to the look of the incandescent though.
I also meant to mention that the reason this tweak works is that the emitting material in blue, green, and white LEDs needs more voltage and a bit higher current to achieve their brightness. When you "starve" them, they still light, but softer. The Reds, ambers, and yellows take less current so they stay at the same brightness even with less voltage.
usb them...
