The Dogmother Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Well, after the malfunction this year, I am looking for some new lights for our tree. I refused to get any of the original LED ones as I hate the blue-white light and much prefer the softer hue of the old style lights, but I am fed up with testing them, putting them on the tree, only for a bulb to go Are the new 'warm white' ones really as soft a light as the old-style bulbs, and can anybody recommend any which they have tried? I'll have a look in the local garden centre and the DIY sheds when I get a moment. Oh, and I want mains; not battery, and static not twinkling.

emily95 Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 We recently bought a light-up nativity for the garden, and some solar lights for one of the trees outside from a company called "festive lights". We were really impressed with the lights and I would recommend giving their site a look. They've got their sale on now too. Here's a link to their warm-white indoor christmas tree lights section. I hope the link is of some use to you... http://www.festive-lights.com/christmas-lights/indoor-lights/christmas-tree-lights/co:warm-white/ Good luck!

Charlottechicken Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 My outdoor lights are a lovely candle flame warm white, they are from Wilkinsons. My tree lights are the same colour but I think they were from Woolies. The choice of colours is on the box, white or blue-white. I would imagine all their lights have the same colour chioce? Good time to buy though, I bought my outside ones for a fiver a few years ago in the sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Mine are from John Lewis,and are new this year.....they are lovely. They do various functions,but I just have the on static,as I find any twinkling or flashing tally distracting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted December 30, 2010 Author Share Posted December 30, 2010 Thanks chaps, I had a look at the John Lewis ones but they are out of stock, will look at other sites too when I get a moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickweed Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 I bought warm white LED lights from Sainsburys this year and I am quite pleased with the effect. They do seem to "drain" the colour from the pale gold ornaments I put on the tree, making them them appear silver. But overall, I think they are the best lights I have ever had.
