Everything You Need to Know About White Wire LED Christmas Lights
Creating a Christmas display with a personal touch can be an exciting endeavor. However, with seemingly countless decisions that will need to be made during the display-building process, you may be unsure exactly where to begin.
If you are like many people, you are probably looking for ways to make your display as perfect as possible. This means that paying attention to details — such as the specific colors of the light wires you’re using — will be exceptionally important. Once you can take a step back and look at what you have created, you will take pride in the fact you were willing to go the extra mile.
In this article, we will discuss the benefits of using white wire LED Christmas lights as well as the benefits of using LED Christmas lights in general. White wire LED light strings are available with a wide variety of different bulb shapes and colors. The more you know about your available options, the more likely you will be able to create the lighting display you have always imagined.
How LED Lighting Displays Have Permanently Changed Christmas
Even if you are relatively young, you probably still remember a time where fluorescent and incandescent Christmas lights were the only types of lights available. Though these lights bring back memories of some nostalgic and memorable times in your life, these were also times where technology was not nearly as good as it is in the status quo.
When compared to older alternatives, LED Christmas lights are significantly more energy efficient. With every watt of energy that is transmitted into a lightbulb, some of the energy will be used for producing light while some of the energy will be wasted omitting heat. Traditional bulbs often only use 15% of their energy for light (and waste 85% on heat), but LED lights use up to 95% of their energy for light (and only waste 5% on heat). Consequently, LED lighting displays will help you save a significant amount of money on your energy bill.
LED lights are also easier to install, are used to create longer lighting chains, and are capable of withstanding the outage of a single bulb. These lights will also give you a significant number of opportunities for customization. Being able to choose different color schemes, wire colors, bulb shapes, and sizes will certainly be quite valuable throughout the course of creating a customized display.
What are the Benefits of Using White Wire LED Christmas Lights?
As stated, once you have decided that you would like to purchase LED lights for your next lighting display, there are several important decisions that you will need to make. Many people begin to immediately think about what color they want the lights to be. Rainbow, all-white, and red and green, are among the most popular color combinations on the market. But what many people forget to think about is what color they want the wiring to be.
The default wire coloring for a string of LED lights will usually be green. This is because these lights are commonly used to light up Christmas tree, and a majority of them are green. However, there are still many occasions where white LED wiring may be the most appropriate.
If you live in the far north or anywhere else that typically gets a lot of snow, white LED wiring can help your lights blend into their natural surroundings. This can create a beautiful effect right after it snows where it looks as if the snow is actually glowing. Even if you live in a warmer or less snowy climate, white LED lighting may match the exterior paint on your home. In instances where you are creating an indoor display, white wiring will be much more likely to match the color of paint on your ceiling. In general, you should choose whichever option allows the wiring to be hidden most discreetly.
Compatibility with Different LED Bulbs and Colors
One common concern for white LED wiring is whether or not this wiring will be compatible with the varieties of bulbs that are most appropriate for your situation. However, contrary to this concern, as long as you know which type of lighting you need in advance, you should be able to find a specific wire that will work.
LED lightbulbs will vary by shape, size, color availability, and brightness. Before you purchase any varieties of LED lightbulbs, you should be sure to identify which ones are ideal for your specific display.
● Smallest: 5MM Wide Angle Mini Light
● Small: M5 Mini Light and T5 Mini Light
● Medium: G12 Raspberry Mini Light and C6 strawberry Mini Light
● Large: C7 Light Set and C9 Light Set
Generally speaking, smaller lights will be more ideal for indoor displays and larger lights will be more ideal for outdoor displays. However, your personal preferences should be accounted for, and there are many exceptions to this general rule of thumb.
Creating the LED Lighting Display of Your Dreams
In today’s modern day and age, there are seemingly unlimited things that you can do with your Christmas lighting display. Some people have even decided to incorporate music, flashing lights, and other unique elements alongside their LED lights. Having a wide range of options to choose from makes it much easier for you to create the results you have been hoping for. You may also want to consider working with a professional light expert or a professional Christmas decorator in order to achieve the best results.
Conclusion
Clearly, there is a lot you need to think about throughout the course of creating an LED Christmas lighting display. Choosing to use white light wiring can be a very aesthetically pleasing effect and help blend your lights with snow or white paint. Once you have found a base color for the wiring, you will then have the opportunity to choose from a variety of different lightbulb colors and shapes.
