5mm LED vs. M5 LED strand - Which is Brighter?
Today we’re talking about strand lighting. In this case, we will be discussing which strand of LED would be the best to buy to suit which project? There are really 2 main LED strands that are being sold on the market. One strand is called an M5, which is made to look like the incandescent mini light strands we’ve all been using for years. The other is called a 5mm and that is what we will show here in contrast. We’re going to show a comparison between the two light strands. The M5 strand is a string of faceted bulbs, which means it will have dimples all the way around, meant to try and spread out the light distribution. The diode in the bulb is more directional. Although it looks bright, it will shadow depending on what angle you look at it. The 5mm is an LED bulb strand with concave tops, which will help throw light out 360 degrees around and carry a 180 degree beam spread. The 5mm will give you more of a beam spread, and when compared to the M5 strand, you can see the difference in the brightness and brilliance. The 5mm, for just brightness and brilliance, is a better light strand. The M5 strand may be more appropriate for something like a garland or wreath, where you wanted more solid look all around, considering it’s a larger bulb and spreads well. Each strand has its own usage, but as far as the overall quality and brightness, the 5mm is the brighter, more brilliant light strand.

They have 48 chasing LED's in each 12 inch icicle. 5 Icicles per strand that are spaced 5 foot apart for a total length of 30 feet.
Agreed. Some day I will spend on the 5mm but for now just got my first set of M5s for outdoor bush lights and they’re still brighter than the old incandescent ones I was using. Guess I’m behind the times lol. Nine year old video hope you’re still doing well. I read Christmas Light Emporium and Christmas Lights Etc we’re both makers of quality 5mm lights.
And, LEDs are more vibrant and keep the color FAR longer than incandescent. And, use dimmable LEDs and an LED compatible dimmer switch, you can replicate the old incandescent glow. And, I would highly recommend the filament style LED or the ceramic style LED. I only use the faceted LED for ground lights.
Good video but turn up the volume.
Why does anyone worry about "electrical costs" on some lights that you only use for one month a year? I will never stop using my old style incandescent C9 bulbs outside. LED lights can never and will never give that beautiful soft brilliant color that the old bulbs give. I would rather pay whatever the small amount is to have that glowing light outside at Christmas. New is not better in this case.
That might be coming to an end. A new led company called Tru Tone has started making c7 and c9 bulbs that look like the old incadecent bulbs. I'm probably going to replace my incadecent c9 bulbs with them next year.
@@noahmeme2 we'll have to see what those look like...they have a high standard to live up to
Landing plane? what plane? just keep rolling! ..... what a trooper. imperfections like this make the channel more endearing.
I just about fell outta my chair when you threw that glass bulb down to the floor and it sounded like an egg smashing Bahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!! There's something about the warm glow of an semi clear colorful incandescent bulb that will keep me interested in them and buying them until the day they are not manufactured anymore..........
I am totally with you...I will never use LED....Nothing looks like incandescent.
Thanks for info
Ok?
The parameter that is not discussed is lumens, which is of course the measurement of light intensity from the luminary (bulb) at a particular distance. Saying one bulb (the LED) pulls 1W vs the incandescent pulling 5-7W is meaningless without a direct correlation to the lumen output of each. "Retrofit" bulbs are made with varying quantities and lumen outputs of diodes, and can vary widely in their lumen output and corresponding wattage draw. Additionally, the lumen output from any given bulb, regardless of type, can vary based on the angle from source in which the measurement is taken, i.e. a bulb might be "brighter" 6 inches from its side vs 6" straight on front. I'm not advocating you provide a full discourse on luminography, but please at least provide enough information to make a credible comparison.
Can't hear shit! You look like Bookman on Seinfeld.
You didn't really mention the difference between C7 and C9. I assume the bases are identical, but one is longer than the other?
C7 is smaller in comparison to the C9. C7 is really universal as it's used in night lights, candelabras, etc. whereas the C9 is a larger size all it's own ( larger bulb and base). C7 is a slight bit cheaper. I use the incandescent C7 bulbs in my custom light organs for better effects than the LED will offer, and the C9 is just too big and hot and the incandescent bulbs offer a better flutter effect in light organs.. Just consider the C7 being the little brother to the C9. Hope that helps.
How many diodes do those c9 LEDs have? I've seen some that have 5 diodes in one bulb.
Which would look best on an indoor natural christmas tree?
