Aside from pixels, I mainly use these in my Christmas light show. I purchased the first set in 2015, and they're still like new. The colors are vibrant and bright. Also, these do dim, and they have a very good dimming curve.

    After a few years of lights that go bad each and every year, it is nice to finally have some well made lights. I will know for sure when I try them next year, but these lights seem to be excellent.

    These are beautiful, well-constructed LED lights that make excellent replacements for the older incandescent type of the same shape. I ordered 4 strands of the white color, and one of the strands had a noticeably different hue than the other 3, so I am returning it. The odd strand's color was nice, but it didn't match the others. The lights performed very well and I look forward to many years of use.

    Don't be fooled by the product pictured above! It does these great lights no justice at all! I was looking for a warm in color but low in heat Christmas lighting option to stuff inside and light a decorative Christmas sack (without melting it) alongside some pre-existing incandescent lit decorations. These worked perfectly! I have been avoiding LED options up until now, not because of the higher upfront cost, but because nothing I had tried or seen so far were suitably warm enough in color or natural looking. These Colorite Mini-lights are the real deal. No high frequency flickering, no cold, unnatural looking white light either. They produce the same nice warm and natural yellow lighting that my incandescent mini-lights do at fraction of the energy and heat. Side by side they are almost indistinguishable from my old lights. They do seem to be a tiny bit less bright than their incandescent counterparts, but this is by no means a deal breaker. As with most LED alternatives, the price is higher than the traditional options, but knowing that they won't melt my decorations or burn my house down this Christmas makes the investment worth every penny!

    I researched the best LED Christmas lights and these GE LED's were a pick. They are bright and white not blue, the closest to incandescent as I have seen. I have a lot of crystal and glass ornaments and need the sparkle!!!! Very happy with these and saving energy and these bulbs will last a long time.

    Very pleased with my purchase
    I purchased both the GEEnergy Smart Colorite 50-Light LED Multi-Color Mini Light Set and 100-Light sets. I did have to do some research on my own to find out how many lights I should order for my tree because that information is not on the product. I am pleased though with the way the lights look on the tree.

      We have an artificial 9-foot tree that stood in front of a glass wall this Christmas season, and the seven sets of lights created a lovely scene from within, and from without! No other decorations necessary!

      They are not the correct color; they are more white than warm white.

      John, normally, the color temperature of warm white is known as 2700K to 3200K. (Lab results for a single LED). However, the LED characteristics for seasonal products may be varied as each small LED chip with a variance can appear to be visibly different. We do our best when receiving LEDs to have the color variance as minimal as possible. GEHolidayLighting

      No Problems
      Some people said they have different color white lights. I bought 3 boxes of 50 warm white, and they all look great! I noticed that the color looks like a brighter white when pointed at you and more yrllow when pointed away. Once i hunge them on the tree they looked great. Im a perfectionist and they work for me so they should be fine for 99% of people. I worry more about not having to replace bulbs that break or glass on the floor. There is a 5 year warranty on these and they are made of plastic not glass so they wont break. If the string goes out just return them. Easy as that.

        We have used LED mini lights for several years to decorate our backyard trees. this is the first time we have used the GE brand and the problem is they are BLUE not warm white! We needed to restring one branch and when we turned them on the whole tree was white with one blue branch. Just put them up yesterday and will be taking them back. I am sure they are solid as far as their function but they are by no stretch of the imagination white.
