Mwhite7097 Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Has anyone used Holiday Living LEDs from Lowes? I am looking at buying 40 strings of the 50 Count LEDs because I need the shorter 12.5' string but I don't know if these are dimmable. The price is a couple dollars less than the GE strings and are in stock right now. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Boyd Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Not sure if they're dimmable or not, but you can do this if they're not. Real simple and not expensive.http://forums.planetchristmas.com/index.php?/topic/36988-easiest-terminatorssnubbers-to-make/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezimnow Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Saw those as well..I'll probably buy a box just to check, but I use snubbers on any channel that has more than 20 strings on it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mwhite7097 Posted October 1, 2012 Author Share Posted October 1, 2012 Thanks. For the price I may get a couple strings and test them. I like the dimmable out of the box. I have used the snubbers in the past but todays LEDs are better and there is less flickering (with the right type). I buy almost most of my lights from Creative Displays and they are great but they don't have the 12.5' strings. I used some GEs last year and they were fine but they are not in stock right now and I need to get building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgrant Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 I've got some of those from Lowes and I think they worked ok. What did not work was from Home Depot, some "Martha" LED strings...will not dim at all. Now the suprising thing I found was that, so far, all of the LED strings I've bought at BigLots, work just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuckertown Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 As a newbie with a 32 channel set up, I have Holiday Living LEDs ( C-6 and icicles) and have plugged them into my LOR and they fade just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave H1 Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 (edited) Holiday Living LEDs from LowesThe ones I purchased last year (C3 promos) are half wave, however, they dim great. There is minimal flicker. The only downfall is that they have replaceable bulbs.I have spent a couple of weeks coating the bulbs and sockets with di-electric grease. It's a P I A but don't plan on replacing them after a season or two Edited October 27, 2012 by Dave H1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timon Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 They are half wave but you could make a full wave birder to front end them.I convert them to DC and run them from 48VDC controllers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
