Here's how it works first the wire is fed into the machine. So it can be cut and shaped.

Depending on the LED, the bulb may last from 50,000 hours to 200,000 hours as compared to the 3,000 hours of an incandescent light. LEDs are also more durable and do not burn out, thus lasting longer than incadescents.

The vast majority of Christmas lights on the market these days are sourced from China. No matter where you purchase your lights, you'll almost certainly be buying lights originating from China. That includes the big box stores. Buy from them, and you'll be buying lights made in China.

LED Christmas lights provide light by using light-emitting diodes rather than filaments. LED lights are thus more efficient, robust, and long-lasting than fluorescent incandescent lights. They don't burn out like conventional bulbs, and they don't become hot to the touch, making them safer.

3 Facts about Holiday Lights

• Thomas Edison Is Responsible for the First Light Display. Shortly after he invented the incandescent light bulb, Thomas Edison was determined to bring light and joy to downtown Manhattan.
• Grover Cleveland Brought Christmas Lights to the White House.
• The First Christmas Lights Were Expensive.

Before electric Christmas lights, families would use candles to light up their Christmas trees. This practice was often dangerous and led to many home fires. Edward H. Johnson put the very first string of electric Christmas tree lights together in 1882.

Microdrop LED lights constructed on thin uncoated wire should last over 100 hours with a fresh set of 3 AA batteries or 2 round C-style batteries and standard LED battery light sets with thicker insulation and LED lenses should last about 18-24 hours on a set of 3 AA batteries.

Because LEDs are as much as 90% more effective than incandescent light bulbs, they have a much longer lifespan. This is because they have no working parts that will burn out or break over time.

Then the metal ends of the lights are cut and shaped. Like the string the led light bulbs are also dipped in flux. The bulbs are then finally soldered with the wire.

1927- Russian inventor Oleg Lesev reports the creation of the first LED. Publishing theories on his findings. 1952- Professor Kurt Lechovec tests some of Losevs theories, he goes on to explain the first light-emitting diodes. 1958- Egon Loebner and Rubin Braunstein create the first green LED.

There are additional perks of LED Christmas lights In addition to consuming less energy than traditional bulbs, LED strand lights are generally safer to use in your home due to the reduced heat they emit, not to mention they have a longer life than traditional incandescents.
