OptiCore C9 LED Blue Faceted Christmas Light Bulbs (25-Pack)

This product is sold without a power supply cord. You must purchase this separate from the manufacturer to power the lights. No where in the product description does it state this. Unfortunately after receiving 24 boxes you see the box does state this, Home Depot decided to leave that critical part out.

Yes , LED lighting is the way to go. So much brighter and love the faceted design used for reflecting affect ! Thankyou very much .

Matches old school lighting but more durable and uses a fraction of the electricity.

Absolutely beautiful!

Nice and bright & they stay cool to the touch.

These are much brighter than the standard-fare (ie, cheap) LED lights that most stores sell during the holidays. Not wanting to go too crazy (these are pretty expensive bulbs), we removed all the old incandescent bulbs from a couple 25' C9 strings and replaced them with these. Amazingly, the difference in brightness wasn't much. Even better, if I did my math correctly (incandescent bulbs = 7 watts; 7 x 25 in a string = 175 watts - versus - these bulbs = 0.84 watts, making the 25 foot strand a total of 21 watts), I could have 8 strands of these bright LED bulbs for less energy than a single strand of incandescent bulbs. (200 bulbs vs. 25 bulbs) That said, I wouldn't necessarily buy these based exclusively on the energy savings. It's likely they take more energy to manufacture, but most people don't use very many strands of lights - and don't use them very often. Given the price premium on these LED bulbs, it's going to take a LONG time to recoup funds based on energy savings. Then again, these are supposed to last 60K hours - and I can attest to them being very strong - where glass bulbs pop and shatter, these guys don't show any wear when dropped or slammed together. All in all, great lights but the overall value is a little iffy.

Perfect color.
