Ultra Thin LED lights

We love our LED battery powered sets, they are perfect for decorating parties, for holidays, weddings, and crafts. Last year I even used some battery powered LED lights inside a jack-o-lantern for some cool effects. But until recently the most exciting thing to happen to battery powered lights lately was the availability of more bulb styles, which is...kind of boring. Well, that all has changed with the introduction of Ultra Thin LED lights.

These are some of the coolest lights I've ever seen. We got our cases in and pulled out a set. Well right off the bat we knew these tiny sets were something special, their packaging is about 3 inches wide and 1 inch deep. After removing the set from its packaging we pop in 3 AA batteries and boom, all of 18 small LEDs light up and are very bright for as small as they are. The picture to your left makes these bulbs look like they are about half an inch long, in reality they are about the size of a uncooked piece of rice. The wire itself is not insulated rubber wire but stiff wire that has been coated with a form of paint for insulation. It's easily bent and twisted but doesn't feel brittle or that it's going to snap into pieces after bending the wire a couple times. We ran a test in house to see how long they'd last on 3 AA batteries, and they ran almost continuous for around 48 ours easy.

Again it's hard to imagine how small these bulbs really are so here are some pictures of them next to some common items. You can see how much small it is when compared to a dime and even the tip of a ball point ink pen, and see how small they are laying on a ruler.

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.
