Classic and Modern Lighting Solutions

The Traditional Incandescent vs. Cutting-Edge SMD LED

The classic incandescent look of a wire filament creates a warm and inviting glow in your lights. Incandescent bulbs are more fragile, and need to be replaced more often. Additionally, while they are a less expensive bulb, they require more electricity leading to highter electrical bills. But who could argue with that cozy home look of the incandescent.

A modern LED bulb give you a hightly efficient and brilliant shine. SMD (Surface Mounted Device) LED are a small, square chip at the base of your bulb that are more durable, emit more light, and more energy efficient. We have enhanced the SMD LED with our Projector Series™ bulbs, which use a refractive lens that allows the brighter LED light to reflect off of smooth edges to give it the look of a classic incandescent filament. With the Projector Series™ bulbs, you truly get the best of both world.

Bulb Surface Finish

Decorating Your House with Character

The most common Holiday lights come in three surface finish types; Ceramic (aka opaque), Transparent, and Faceted. Faceted bulbs have a crystal look that offers a unique sparkle. Ceramic bulbs evenly dispurse the light, giving it a solid glow. Transparent bulbs display filaments or diodes for a more traditional look.
