Title: Source for LED lights
Post by: Night Owl on October 12, 2009,

For my first attempt at computer controlled lighting, I was planning on a mega tree.  Since I am starting at zero, I figure that I might as well spend the extra money up front and go with LED lights.  I do have some LED strings from years past that I have been unhappy with.  Mostly because they were first generation, half wave lights, the flickering and low intensity bothered me.  I also purchased a small LED spiral tree that didn't last a season.  The leads on the LEDs corroded off.

So I have been reading around and it looks like what I want is a full rectified, sealed set.  However everything locally available are either half rectified, have removable "bulbs," or both.

Do you all have any online vendors you would recommend?

Thanks
Nathan

I just got a shipment in from http://www.environmentalled.com/ (http://www.environmentalled.com/)

I have to say the 5mm lights are very nice @ 19.99 for any color.  (Full-Wave/Flicker-free)
