Incandescent sucks though, they use 10x the power for less light output and have a lifespan that's a fraction as well. Just get the color temperature you prefer in an LED and you'll almost never have to replace them and you'll have a lower power bill too
I forgot to write Christmas string lights - these are MUCH warmer than the LEDs, much more nostalgic in appearance. I watched too much Technology Connections about this and wanted to replace the decor
Wait why don't you want LED? Visual thing or other reasons?
Mean I know I keep buying LEDs for the bathroom for my gf to tell me they're too bright (waiting on the next set currently only tried a couple) but the time range on an incandescent is so low in comparison.
I'm mostly curious why you prefer something with more power draw for a shorter lifespan. I sort of assume I'm missing a piece, not knocking your preference or purchases and all. Hell if I have all the pieces and that's fine for you, you do you no ill intentions meant.

'100 light packs' tells me they're probably string lights (Christmas lights).
LED string lights are absolute ass (though that's been improving); still finding incandescent versions is a treasure.

I didn't even click - its technology connections isn't it? Top channel.

What are you using them for?

For heating maybe. $4,50 is a good price for three electrical heaters.
