I only buy incandescents because I can’t stand cold, 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.
Edit: God damnit; even the lights featured in the video still flicker. So I will still be sticking with incandescent. Why can they make flicker-free LED and OLED TVs, but nobody can do the same for Christmas lights? For the first time ever, Alec has let me down.
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.
Completely agree about how horrible flicker is. There are occasional leds that don’t flicker. I believe (but I’m not sure) that they have to have am ac/dc converter. AC causes the flicker, but Direct Current delivers steady constant power. I have a random string light set that has (what i believe is) an ac/dc converter wall wart, and it doesn’t flicker at all. It’s just a random set I bought from a store.
