Mini Light Black Out & Color Caps

Black out caps have been a popular product for many years, they are a black cap that slides over bulbs that you don't need lighting. They are perfect for cleaning up decorating projects. Lets say you want to outline your homes windows with mini lights if you connect the strings end to end there will be extra mini lights hanging between the windows, and with black out caps you can black out the lights for cleaner decorated look. The picture to the left shows the difference before and after. There has been a growing popularity for caps for mini lights, and color caps have been showing up more and more.

Color caps work best of clear mini lights bulbs and are used to of course change the color of the bulb. Color caps are a translucent rubber that is colored and they come in all the most common colors. These are great for doing custom displays or decorating projects so you can get the perfect combination of colors. Using color caps is easier than changing out actual bulbs and cheaper too!

Flicker Flame Lights!

Flicker Flame lights are a unique type of Screw in light bulb that simulates a candles flame. They are used in a C7, or Candelabra, light sockets and are most commonly seen on Faux Wax Candle sticks. Flicker flame lights have 2 metal plates/filaments light up with a red and yellow color and the light looks like, well... a flickering flame.

We carry a 3 pack of Flicker flame bulbs and a 7 pack that includes a light string with a 2 foot bulb spacing. We also have a Traditional looking C7 bulb that has the flame style filament inside and a silicone coated bulb that has a soft glow for a completely different lighting effect.

These types of bulbs are popular in Candle sticks for window or table decoration, they are great in chandeliers or antique style lamp that traditionally would have used an actual candle. They are great for craft projects or custom creations were you need to simulate a flame without the risk of burning anything.

Head to our Specialty Page for links to Flicker Flame bulbs and much more!

Craft Lights! Perfect for bottles and glass blocks.

We here at All American Christmas Co. are proud to carry the best mini light and LED craft light strings. For Mini lights our 20 count and 35 count light strings both are made with only one plug, we call these sets No End Connector sets (or NEC for short). These light strings have the male plug with up to 3 feet of lead wire (wire from the plug to the first bulb) and they end with a bulb instead of a female plug. So with these sets you cannot plug them end to end, which makes them great for decorating glass blocks or bottles.

Our 20's and 35's, as we call them, come in a variety of bulb colors with all the standard mini light colors being represented. These lights come on both Green and White wire. These strings are relatively short so you wont have a mile of wire inside your craft project, or have to have lights hanging outside the craft either, using sets that made for this type of project will help make a cleaner looking end product! Our 3 foot lead sets are great because you don't have to use and extension cord to plug the craft in in most instances!

We have a couple options for LED craft sets, we have two 25 light count sets that come on either white or green wire with Warm White leds. The sets are NEC and are a low power & long life alternative to mini lights. They have a higher upfront cost but are going to last over 10 times longer! We also have battery powered LED sets, they will last Approx 30 hours with 3 AA batteries, and would be great for decorating without having to worry about a wire running down the wall.
