Christmas Light Fading Controllers

     Fading controllers are a great way to add some life to your displays or Christmas light strings! The most affordable light faders are 2 circuit, so they have 2 outlets the controller fades between. These simple controllers are good for changing between two displays or light strings; say you want to have different characters fading in and out or different trees lighting up in a specific color , really anything you can think of!

    These type of smaller controllers (like the one shown above) handle up to 360 watts per channel, 3 Amps Maximum, they also have a dial for controlling speed of fade. The controller above does 10 seconds max to 1 second minimum fade time. So lets break that down, that's approximately 900 mini lights per outlet, 72 C7 bulbs per outlet, or 51 C9 bulbs per outlet.  LED sets sometimes don't fade very well, so we don't recommend using them on a fading controller. These controllers have a easy to set speed knob that give you control over the speed of the fade between the outlets. We offer two types of these controllers and the one above is built in the USA!

    We also carry Commercial quality Christmas light faders.These have 8 or 16 outlets and and can handle 15 to 100 amps! These are made for large commercial displays and large scale lighting projects, these faders have more intricate fading, they allow for overlap of fades and more.

May 30th, 2011 is Memorial Day! 10% off coupon code!


    May 30th this year is Memorial day, and many of us like to get together with family and friends on this holiday when we take time to think about the soldiers who have sacrificed for this country. If you like to decorate for this holiday we here at All American Christmas Co. have some great lighting products that would look great for any indoor or outdoor celebration. We have Patriotic Spheres which look great indoors and out, as well as solid Red, White, and Blue Spheres. Starlight spheres are a great way to easily decorate holidays and if you mix and match them you could use solid colors for more than just patriotic holidays.

    We also carry Red, White (or clear), and Blue incandescent and LED lights. Almost all of the Mini lights we carry come in those color options on White Wire, which look great for hanging around the house or outdoors. C7 and C9 bulbs are great for hanging up around decks and patios for a little extra light, our painted/opaque C7 and C9 bulbs are great for mood lighting. We have many LED light options as well but, they typically do not come on white wire but green wire looks great too!

Be sure to use the coupon code SAVE10 to save 10% on all online orders over $25!

Patriotic Christmas Lights & Decorations

All American Christmas Co. carries a wide selection of great Patriotic themed lights and decorating products. From simple Red, White, and Blue light strings to awesome decorative light displays, we have you covered.

Mini lights are a great option for decorating parties, events, and holidays. We have solid Red, White (or Clear), and Blue light strings. You can use mini lights around decks or patios, tables, hang them for accent lighting or anything your mind can come up with!

Same goes for C7 and C9 bulbs, they are great to buy a couple packs of different colors and mix them up for a great effect, put those bulbs on a white light stringer and you have a simple decorative light string that will look better and last longer than any pre made cheap light string you buy at the local department store.


We also carry a wide selection of starlight spheres, they are a simple and great looking lighted decoration.that comes in a variety of options. We have a USA Starlight sphere that looks like the American flag, we also have solid Red, White, and Blues of course. These are great to hang outdoors for late night BBQ's and parties! Spheres come in a variety of sizes and even have light stake options for lining walkways and driveways.

At the top of this blog post there is a image of a great American flag display we have, it's made of high quality Rope Light, and looks great hung up out doors. Which proper storage this display will last you many many years. We also carry custom R, W, B ropelight that has alternating colors.

Premade C7 and C9 sets!

C7 bulbs
C7 Bulb
We are now carrying cases of pre made C7 and C9 sets. These sets come with 25 C7 or C9 bulbs already screwed into sockets so you just have to open the box, remove the tray from the packaging, and you're ready to decorate. C7 Sets come in cases of 24 sets and C9 sets come packed in cases of 12 sets.

These sets are great for people who are pressed for time for their decorating projects and need a quick and simple incandescent light string. These sets are not made like other light strings and usually have smaller gauge wire so you can't plug many sets end to end. Most manufacturers recommended only 2 sets end to end, so I wouldn't recommend plugging more than that end to end.

Standard C7 and C9 strings and spools can allow for many more bulbs to be on a continuous run, but they are never pre-bulbed.
