@rebecca.thorne: Part two! The light spectrum and how LEDs emit light. Basically, LED Christmas lights suck, but if you’re going to get any, get ones with a warm white base and a colored cap. We have Tru Tone lights on our house. 😎 Thanks, professor Audrey! #christmaslights #led

You would love Technology Connections yearly rant on LED Christmas lights! I think some company FINALLY made an LED option that is the warm light with color caps and the right circuitry like 2 years ago? look him up o YouTube

Omg an engineer who talks about the warmth and loveliness of incandescent lights and not solely the inefficiency of them.

Is this why LED headlights hurt? Like my brain wants to explode looking at them

Incandescents are the prettiest but there have been less house fires around Christmas since they became more obscure.

Also a lot of the LED’s added purple bulbs for some reason which was never on “normal” Christmas lights and that makes them feel wrong to me

I want your wife to teach me more things please. I don't care what, she's very good at it!

I honestly think the LED headlights should be banned

As someone currently in school learning about LEDs, among other things, your wife's explanation is a thousand times better than my teacher's! 😂 She needs her own TikTok where she can talk about everything electric and electronics, pretty please with cherry on top 👀

The best thing about LEDs is how efficient they are. The worst thing about LEDs is how efficient they are. 🤣

The other thing I’ve noticed about LEDs is that they’re extremely bright at the source, but the light doesn’t seem to travel very far so it takes more bulbs to get the same brightness that you’d get with incandescents

I have the tism of the astigmatism type. All LEDs are the bane of my existence and Christmas is the season of pain and blindness.

fun fact! plant light bulbs which emit a pale blue are excellent for reading and don't strain your eyes

the solution is to colour in your warm white LEDs with permanent markers in the correct colours

my husband thought I was crazy for saying that the blue LEDs are soooo hard for me to look at, they hurt my eyes 😭

Even though I like the colors more, I cannot justify the power consumption, unreliability, and fire risk posed by incandescent lights. they generate so much heat and when you enjoy a real Christmas tree like me that's really dangerous

Here’s a sad thing: I think older Gen Z and up associate incandescent lights with our childhood xmases. So in the future will younger generations will feel nostalgic for super blue toned LEDs??

So when was your partner diagnosed with autism? Coming from someone that constantly gets looked at like they're crazy for complaining about flicker & capacitor whine.😜

I get the opinion, and I agree mostly. One thing that LEDs have over incandescent for folks that use real Christmas trees is it the lack of heat output reduces the fire danger. This is absolutely fascinating though. Like I said, I agree. It’s kind of like comparing wood stove heat to gas stove heat. There’s a level of coziness that really is missing.

the nice thing about LEDs tho is that you can adjust the doping pretty much any way you want to get different spectral outputs. that being said, companies making Xmas lights aren't spending the money to create high quality lights.
