LED Craft lights

Finally, the long wait is over. We have in stock our very own, custom 25 light count Wide Angle LED light sets with No End Connector! They are $9.99 and have all the massive benefits of LED while giving you the same convenience that the 20 and 35 light count mini light sets.

Some of this sets benefits are, Low power consumption (2.4 watts a set!), No heat, Warm White bulbs (simulate incandescent bulbs), 2 foot power lead, No end connector (great for crafts!), Wide angle bulb to evenly spread out the light


Here is the difference in color between incandescent mini lights and warm white led craft lights

These sets may be more up front than the 20 count and 35 count mini lights, but they are going to outlast those other sets for many many seasons. If you're making crafts for yourself or for someone else these sets will also really help you save on electricity, 25 ct LED Craft sets pull 2.4 watts a set, but a 20 mini lights pull 9.6 watts a set, that's 1 watt for every 2 bulbs!

Icicle light sets and bulbs

Growing up it always felt more like Christmas when I would start to see the houses in my hometown being lit up with icicle lights. It's funny how something so simple as lights around a roof line can really put someone in the Christmas mood. Why icicle lights are a great Christmas light decoration? Well they are easy to install and they are look great once the wire settles out and the drops straighten. Just hang them properly on your gutters or under the roofing material and they will look great all season, just don't be lazy try and to take them down before Valentine's Day.

All American Christmas Co. has a full line of Icicle lights available to let you decorate you home or business exactly how you want. Our traditional incandescent bulb Icicle Lights come in a variety of options, which include:
  • Green or White wire color
  • 100, 150, or 300 bulb counts
  • Clear, Red,Green, Blue, Purple, and Multi Colored Bulbs
  • Random Twinkle, Dripping, and Color Changing Effects on certain strings
  • Commercial Quality Heavy Duty Icicles
These icicle light sets are great for just about any application, where one might use icicle lights anyway. The different bulb counts let you decorate with more control over the number of bulbs. The colored bulb sets let you stand out from everyone else, or match a color motif you may already have. The Random Twinkle and Dripping sets give you some motion so you aren't just with static lights if you don't want some movement on your sets. The color changing sets again add some movement and the ability to change the color of the strings back and forth with a controller.

We also carry a line of LED Icicle lights. These LED Icicle sets have a M5 Bulb style and come in Pure white, Warm White, Multi, Blue, and Wave Colors. Wave sets change from Pure White to Blue, inside the bulb itself. We also carry a new screw in C7 base Icicle bulbs, these bulb sets are great if you are outlining your hows with C7 LED bulbs. Every couple feet or so throw one of these cool looking (pardon the pun) into a socket to simulate the look of icicles hanging from the roof.

If you have any other questions pertaining to our selection of Christmas icicle lights, head over to the website and take a look around and send us a email if you need.

The elusive colored 20 count Mini Light string!

A customer of ours was in need of something that we at All American Christmas Company consider an oddity, a 20 count light string with colored lights. Not Multi colored mind you, just a string of one consistent color. Now one might think, "Hey, I can just take this old 100 count set, jerk the bulbs out, and put in this 20 set!" and you would assume that it would work...well, it will not work. We hate to be the bearer of bad news but there is a very simple explanation for this, bulb voltages. Most all 50 count and 100 lights strings use a very standard 2.5 volt mini lights bulb, however mini light strings with smaller bulb counts use bulbs with higher voltage. 35 count sets use 3.5 volts and 20 lights use 6 volt.

This is why one just can swap bulbs for sets, you can't go mixing or changing the bulb voltages. If you are curious as to what your light sets have check any documentation or labels that come with the sets. If you have any sort of paper work in the box or poly bag then it should have some indication of bulb voltages.

Back to colored sets, none of our distributors have 20 count minis that come in anything beside clear and multi. Sure there may be someone out there that has them, but the big names in the game that we go through sadly do not. There is one "work around" but it takes extra sets and some patience, our multi colored have Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, and Pink. Normally our 20 count multi sets have 4 bulbs of the 5 colors on one string, so you can take 5 sets you can mix and match the bulbs to make 5 sets of complete colored sets. And before the wheels start turning, no we don't do this. It's about as simple as stacking Lego bricks, so you shouldn't worry.

Another question that we get asked is if you can clip the wires on a set to shorten it. No, it'll screw with the voltage of the set itself, and it's better to work around it than kill the string and have to buy another!
