Are Forever LED Light Strings an Energy Star Product?
We are pleased to announce that we are an Energy Star Product and Partner. 
How much do you really save using LED over regular incandescent?
Price vs. the savings. If we could not save you over your incandescent lighting then we would not be offering you anything special! But we do offer you the best energy efficient, durable and long lasting sets on the market. Click calculator to input your actual light strings and cost savings!
How many LED Christmas Lights do I need for my tree?
Commercial installers figure one string per foot of tree. A 6’ tree would require 5-6 LED strings of lights (based on a 70 light set) less for a 100 light set. Give or take a string for how full you want the tree. You can click calculator and go to the bottom of the page for number of sets calculations for roof lines etc.
What is the wattage of your LED Christmas Lights?
25 to 50 lights are 2.4 watts per string - 70 to 100 lights are 4.8 watts per string.
I have seen cheaper LED sets on the market, what is the big deal? Are they all the same?
No, they are not the same! The major difference is that ‘cheaper’ LED s are usually removable bulbs, very low quality LED s, unsealed units at the base (pull out area) and at the lens, they are made of an incredibly cheap and thin plastic, they are series circuited (one come out, they all go off) and they are half wave, usually have less than 70 lights per set (20, 50, 60), very low light output, flicker incredibly and have a short life span.
Our Full Wave lights either LED Residential or Commercial LED Christmas Lights are injected molded sealed unit at the base and lens (no water can enter); we use the best and brightness LED s for the integrity of the lights we sell. In a chip of LEDs we will use only the top 10% of the LEDs, discarding the others as non usable. We use a clear, durable UV protected plastic that even semi-trucks have ran over in testing with no breakage. Our lights are parallel circuit so if one light goes out (rarely) they all stay lit. Our sets are sold in 35, 70 and 100 light sets as the lights are power specific to the number of LED s for longevity of the product. Our lights are fully rectified units so no annoying flicker and makes for a 40% brighter light. There is more but this is the biggest differences.
Why are some colors higher in price?
Each color is made from a different material. The Whites (the most expensive) are made from Red, Blue and Green, using three colors and different material for each color causes them to cost more to manufacture. The Red, Candlelight, Gold, Orange and Yellows are the least expensive to manufacture.
Can I connect Dimmers, Controller etc to my LED Christmas Lights?
By all means, have fun! Most dimmers & flashers work fine and the controllers are as great as your imagination! Music, dancing, flashing!
Can I use the C7 replaceable retrofit bulbs in candelabra bases?
Yes, you can use the C7 in most candelabra, nite nights, candles, under counter and more, so long as it is the E12 base. (I have had some problems using the C7 in sensor equipment, i.e. dusk to dawn night light)
What’s with the bright (almost blue) White and color Variations?
The Pure White LED Christmas Lights is bright, a cold effect! In fact most people think they are eye piercing…Great for some displays not so great for others. If you want a bright display (many do) then the pure white (even with the cold blue tone) is for you. If you want to tone it down then buy the New Warm White LED. It’s more like incandescent lighting.
As to the color variations you will notice the biggest difference in the Blue LED Christmas Lights as the spectrum of color has a larger degree of allowance because of the cost. About 90% of the LEDs made for colors like blue, soft white, green, etc. are not allowed because of the range of variation is too wide. The nature of the materials used in LEDs is what drives the costs up. We have maintained a ‘balance’ in the color range to keep your costs down. Although you may notice a change in color especially in very large orders, the color is still true to the product. Most do not notice at all once the lights are hung.
Is there a difference is the LED called Warm White and Soft White?
There is no difference is the color they are the same. Both names Soft and Warm White are used in the industry.
Why are some colors higher in price?
Each color is made from a different material. The Whites (the most expensive) are made from Red, Blue and Green, using three colors and different material for each color causes them to cost more to manufacture. The Red, Candlelight, Gold, Orange and Yellows are the least expensive to manufacture.
Are the "Full Wave LED Christmas Lights" strings okay for outdoor use?
