It’s not like you can’t get twinkle lights at pretty much any big box retailer or hardware store between October and November, but if you’re looking at any other time of the year, and you’re looking for uncompromising quality, longevity, durability, and performance, the place to get them is Decorator’s Warehouse.
In the event you’re not familiar, Decorator’s Warehouse is the largest Christmas store in Texas and one of the largest in the country. For those that aren’t in their area, they’re running their shop from DecoratorsWarehouse.com.
It just so happens that you can also get twinkle lights from them at any time of year on their website. Here’s what they offer.
Durability
Decorator’s Warehouse’s eco-friendly twinkle lights are unparalleled for general durability, with an unbreakable exterior that “even Santa’s boot could not shatter” (actual quote from their website!).
But, seriously, LEDs, or “light-emitting diodes” are SSLs (solid-state lights). This means they don’t have a conventional “bulb” like most other lights do.
Instead, there is a clear, hard, epoxy cover/lens over the LED itself, with no gas in between. This means that instead of a hollow bulb you have basically a solid plastic cap on the light – which is impossible to break.
Rough handling might sink other Christmas lights, but these cluster lights will last season after season, even after less than judicious handling.
Longevity
Some Christmas lights burn out after a couple hundred or a couple thousand hours, if not less. You know, if one goes out, they all go out.
These LED twinkle lights are in a class of their own. Their longevity absolutely dices the longevity of traditional incandescent Christmas lights.
And not just by a marginal figure – by an order of magnitude. These LED cluster lights are rated to 50,000 hours. Even if you burned them 10 hours per day every single day of the year, they’d last nearly 14 years.
Flexibility and Versatility
First off, each strand is nearly 25 feet long, much longer than most other strands of Christmas lights you’ll encounter.
Secondly, they are pre-programmed with an 8 function controller that gives them unrivaled versatility. Every strand offers steady on functionality, along with “combs,” “in waves,” “sequential,” “slo-glo,” “chase/flash,” “slow fade,” and of course, “twinkle/flash” modes – hence the name.
Uses for Many Applications
The length and various functionality of these twinkle lights make them surprisingly useful in an equally surprising number of applications.
Want to decorate your Christmas tree with twinkle lights? No problem – but you can also use them in other Christmas greenery as well, including but not limited to wreaths and garlands (Decorator’s Warehouse also has a really useful video on their YouTube channel on how to incorporate these cluster lights into garlands).
You can also use these cluster lights as accent lights elsewhere around your home – on banisters, shelves, around molding and trim, on clocks – wherever you feel you need a little extra light and life.
And, it should go without saying that you can use these unique and durable twinkle lights as accent lights throughout the rest of the year – not just at Christmas.
