I don't like my Christmas tree lights

I totally agree with you. We added in some strings of the bigger opaque bulbs (the kind that you always used to have for outside). It kind of warms it all up some.

I hear you on the LED lights. I won't use them on my trees.

If I were you, I'd toss those (donate, whatever) and replace with the "correct" kind to have.

It might look better once the other decorations are on    

If you're buying LED lights, look for ones that are labelled 'warm white', they're much more natural, and not nearly as shocking!

The LEDs hurt my eyes. Not a fan.

I also hate cold white lights. I finally found warm white LEDs a few years ago. however, nothing is prettier than white incandescent lights.

I bought a single string of battery operated LEDs for my outdoor wreath, 4 feet diameter. There are only about 20 lights on the string, I was sure I'd need another string. Those tiny, rice-size, lights look amazing, and one was enough. I bought the warm color.

My DH loves colored lights, my next tree will have the changeable kind so we both get our favorite. I bought a colored light tree last time to surprise him, LOL even when I was trying to do something nice the colored lights bug me.

I love my lights. They're what keep me from getting an artificial tree! They are little off-white pearl lights. I got them about ten years ago at Target and I don't think I've seen them again. I don't know what I'll do when they start burning out.

This is exactly what we do! 

I don't like the newer LED lights either, even the colored ones. They are too "primary" colored for my taste. I wanted new tree lights last year because all of the bulbs on my favorite old strings had faded and enough of the bulbs had burned out that they were done. I went to Target and bought several sets of the regular strings with the 5-6 colors of bulbs after looking at the sample lights lit up. 

DH bought some white ones for the outside of the house without seeing them plugged in and they were awful. We only had them up one year and I replaced them the next year with warm white lights which he supplemented with a couple of the Star Shower red and green laser light things.

This! I won't let my husband get them for outside the house. I hate the way they look and they give me a migraine.SaveSave

I have LED lights outside and LOVE them. They look normal. I bought them at an expensive decorating store and they had all the bulbs on display and turned on.

Agreed *Marjorie*! I don't like the blueish color at all. I took mine off after I was half done and bought cheaper ones that are not LED lights and have the warm golden glow like I like.
