These are just what I was looking for!! I love the cost-savings of LED bulbs, as well as the ability to string a nearly endless number of strands together without overloading the wiring or the circuit, but I have always hated the "bright white" or "bluish" look that you get from most white LED bulbs. Well, I'm happy to report that these LED's put off almost the exact same color of the clear C9 incandescent bulbs that they replaced!! They aren't quite as bright, but that's because they have an opaque housing compared to the clear glass on my previous bulbs, but they are still plenty light and look great on the house.Oh, and one more thing - they are BULLETPROOF! One of the things I hated most about the glass C9 bulbs is that I would inevitably break at least a dozen or so every time I put them up and took them down. They are so fragile that if I so much as bump them against something or let them touch the ground they shatter. Well, no more broken bulbs with these babies! I had to swap one out on my roof after putting them up (only 1 out of 225 that I ordered was defective), and while I was making my way to the bulb on the roof the new bulb slipped out of my hand and rolled down the roof, fell 12 feet onto the concrete below, bounced 2-3 times, and when I got down and picked it up there wasn't even a scratch on it and it still worked! WOW!!The money and time savings alone in replacing burnt out or broken incandescent bulbs will pay for these LED's in no time. Best Christmas light purchase in a long time!
