Return customer here... I like globe lights much better than the standard C7 Christmas lights, and have been looking for decent LED replacement bulbs to cut electric costs. (I have a LOT of lights...) Last season, I bought one set of these and one set of cheaper ones off of a big online site. The cheaper ones were so bright that the color mostly washed out. These lights from Christmas Light Source aren't quite as bright as the incandescents, but the color is much more rich than the cheaper options. I'll keep using my incandescents until they burn out, and will replace them with these over time.
