Paulguy's Post configuration There's no reason they have to flicker, they're just cheaply manufactured, and lack filtering, and probably don't use a proper bridge rectifier most of the time. ____________________ |

Rena I had one (1) message in Discord deleted and proceeded to make a huge, huge mess about how it was a violation of free speech and how moderators are supposed to be spam janitors and nobody should have the right to tell me not to talk about school shootings Level: 135 Posts: 3926/5390 EXP: 29042995 For next: 292010 Since: 07-22-07 Pronouns: he/him/whatever From: RSP Segment 6 Since last post: 330 days Last activity: 330 days

12-05-10 02:43:12 PM Post #3926 In my experience mostly only the cheap brands flicker.
Also what's with white lights costing near twice as much as coloured ones. That not only makes no sense, but seems backward...  ____________________ ![[loading witty comment...]](http://twitstamp.com/custom-2013.png "this is about the only use for Twitter") |

Originally posted by RenaAll LEDs use a semiconductor material that produces light at one specific frequency. White is light that covers a large part of the spectrum, so a plain LED can't produce white. Most white LEDs are a combination of a blue LED and a yellow phosphor. Whether this added phosphor is worth the price hike is debatable.  ____________________ |

| Mixed with wreaths and Christmas brush type things, you know the stuff you put atop a fireplace or on a mantel, we usually have Christmas lights. Sometimes out side on trees in our yard, but their mostly inside. |

The price hike is probably not so much the Christmas light manufacturer as much as the semiconductor manufacturer. ____________________ |

Nope, only a slightly decorated tree indoors, that's it. Nothing outside, and nothing around the neighborhood. People don't care for xmas anymore  |
