Get this Look! C9 Red and White Smooth LED bulbs and Cords
This striking red-and-white LED combination — featured in Brian’s project — turned heads for a reason. Bold, classic, and festive: it’s a look that belongs on every Christmas block.
The warm white bulbs keep the glow cozy, while the red LEDs add punch — delivering a bright, vibrant outline that still feels nostalgic.
“The bulbs were exactly what we were looking for and are actually brighter than the other incandescent bulbs being used on houses on our block… Talking to a neighbor they actually had no idea they were LED.”
“We have a streetlight right in front of our house which affects the look but the brightness of the bulbs counteracts it.”

🌟 Safety tip: Always plug your LED strings into a GFCI outlet and use an outdoor-rated surge protector — especially if they’re exposed to the elements. Great lighting doesn’t have to mean risky wiring!
