Who knows? Maybe it's even a hoarding reaction by people who don't like the bluish color of the new LED lights.
I know I don't like them. I would rather put up the mini lights.
I really wouldn't mind converting to these "warm" LED Christmas lights stores are supposedly getting, but so far I've only seen one box of those vs. tons of the blue-white ones.
I was joking with someone that maybe they should come up with a 6-7' version of those fiber optic trees. The only bulb to go out would be the projector lamp in the base. Imagine...no more stringing lights ever, no sets going out...
Well, I was in Dollar General again today, and they had such an animal. It was one of those cheapie skinny trees in a box, but it was fiber optic.
And sure enough, it had one of chose changing color wheels in the base. Now, I can imagine on a 6' tree that would be almost psychedelic. But I'd love to see a version that either didn't change color at all, or alternated very slowly and subtly between 100% white and, say, 90% white.
BTW, I know some people who like the multi-colored LED lights, but a lot of people also think they look garish. I do too. Some of the colors are so neon-like they remind me of the kind of signage you find at bookstores located near airports.
I haven't heard about them. You might want to check out www.holidayleds.com It has a lot of info and selection of bulbs to order.
