Christmas LED Lights for everyone!

So we've been making sure that we're going to have the widest selection of LED lights available. We've added our new Rectified sets which are better for using on controllers. There are a lot of new specialty style LED bulbs like stars, snowflakes, and other really cool looking bulbs. We've added more sets on White Wire and light colors. There are new Auto/Boat sets that have a cigarette lighter adapter and they look great when you're driving to see the family...or taking the boat out...in December.

Visit us to see all the LED Christmas lights we offer!

New products!

Long time no post! School and lot's of warehouse work has kept me from posting as diligently as I should. Exciting news otherwise, we are currently adding new products almost everyday so this Christmas you'll have even more option available.

NEW LEDS! We are currently adding new styles, colors, and new feature LED sets. We have a lot more battery operated LED sets, custom bulb shapes, and Rectified sets. Our new commercial Rectified sets, which should be up by the end of the week, are the newest in LED tech. These sets can fade and work great on controllers, they don't have that slight flicker effect that some sets do.

We have added and updated many of our Christmas Displays, new pieces that you can use to decorate your home, yard, business, church, or anywhere else you can run an extension cord to.

Bookmark the site and check back for new products often.

We also have orange light and black wire sets of lights available. Mini lights, Icicle Lights, and C7 style bulbs are in stock ready for this October!

Halloween is always a great holiday and while I wouldn't say it's overlooked, it easy to just throw a jack-o-lantern on your porch and say you decorated. Kids love trick or treating and if you live in a area that has a lot of activity on halloween kid's always remember the home that's all...spookified.

DIY Christmas Lights extension cords...

Getting power to your light strings can be somewhat of a pain. If you use cords you buy at a department store chances are you're going to have cords that are to long or to short and your left thinking, "Wouldn't it be awesome if I could make my own cords". We here at All American Christmas Co know first hand the hassle of dealing with using large bulky cords for a couple strands of lights.

Rolls of 18 gauge bare wire are perfect for making your own custom Christmas light extension cords. We have them in 100 and 500 foot cuts in both white and green wire. We have both in SPT-1 and SPT-2 wire and offer some rolls in 16 gauge size. When you combine these rolls of these our Quick Connect plugs you can make almost any length cord for your lighting project. Check out the digram below to see just how easy it is to use our Quick Connect slide on plugs with our Bare Wire rolls.



You can also modify the slide on Female plugs to make a DIY Power Strip. Click here to see how to make them.

Rope Light, "The" Alternative to Neon

Rope Light, Flex Lite, Plastic Neon, It goes by many names but they are almost always the same product. This flexible plastic lighted tubing is a very popular style of lighting and have a very large number of uses. The most common use for ropelight is outlining, you can use it to outline you building or roof, you can outline signs, they are common place on light displays. People like using this style of lighting for some sort of mood/back lighting. You can hide it and use it this way, underneath a shelf or counter to light up a floor for example.

There are a handful of different styles of ropelight available, sizes vary from 3/8", 1/2", 5/8". They come in a few different Wire counts, 2 wire, 3 wire, and 5 wire. 2 Wire rope light can only flash/fade with a controller, 3 wire can chase, twinkle, flash with a controller, and 5 wire has the same capabilities that the 3 wire has. To help picture how they are animated think of 3 Wire as broken down in to sets of 3 bulbs, so when they chase it's ever first bulb in a set of 3. 5 Wire works the same except there is more bulbs to a broken down set.

Each variant of rope light has it's own specialized power adapters, connectors, splice kits, and so on. You cannot use a 2 wire power connector with a 3 wire ropelight and vice versa.
