My wife has complained about how searingly bright the colored LED lights are. I’ll have to watch this later
[Technology Connections] LED Christmas lights still annoy me. Let's try some more fixes.

No, I need a house coated in microsuns to herald aliens desperate for some kind of signal. How do I make them brighter?!

Reminds me of Vihart’s recent video.

It’s weird. I hate most Xmas leds lights but I have mini colored led lights that actually are just warm white leds with colored glass like he described on my tree right now. Not sure what brand they are because I tossed the box, but I’m pretty sure I bought them at Costco a few years back.

I rather like the bright blues are greens.
I’m any case, wouldn’t the better solution be to reduce the amount of light the blue and green LEDs produce than have them make white light and then filter out other wavelengths?
Oh well, lighting is one of those things I just don’t always agree with Alec on. He is a big proponent of warm colors, whereas one of the things I love about LEDs is getting whiter light.

I like cool white LEDs specifically because my outdoor lights include a bunch of icicle lights and snowflake shapes and stuff, and cool white reads as “icy” way better than warm white does.
Anyway, if I were Alec, at this point I’d be saying “fuck it” and looking for RGBWW lights that I could program to be the exact hues and brightnesses I wanted. ('Course that’s a whole 'nother rabbit hole, if you want to avoid the expensive-yet-crappy sets with built-in controllers Home Depot etc. sell and get proper ones you can use with your own standalone controller.)
