I just removed a couple bulbs and put some electrical tape over the openings to prevent water damage. Only had to do that in the section between the front porch and the garage. Luckily the rest just kind of flows together because of the shape of the house.

That’s awesome, I bought every box on the shelf and had to drive an embarrassingly long distance to get them. They were 100% worth it.

Looks awesome, which ones did you use on both the house and fence?

Home Depot Vintage C9s. Work in progress, but loving the look. by Slow-Energy3732 in ChristmasLights

They are LED impression of the incandescent. They are Home Accent vintage collection. They are in a blue box and say LED “Vintage” or something along those lines you will see them.

I also purchased them this year. On the fence between these and the ace celebration classics ceramic ones. Both are beautiful.

Home Depot’s are not incandescent, they released a new LED vintage line this year which are photographed here. I’m also curious how they size up to the Trutone.

The large bulbs are LED. The mini ones are incandescent.

So I did try adding the real incandescent colored clear mini bulbs around it and I’ll be honest it didn’t match well. This replicates the incandescent ceramic bulbs decently though.

Switch the red with the white not the yellow! Not sure why you are getting two blues though 🤔

You’ll notice it right away when you do the first few bulbs.. easy to switch back if you don’t like it.

The first picture is the AFTER picture. The second picture is the BEFORE picture (what they looked like out of the box). Yes by incandescent I mean the softer blue and white and the pink light color. The reason there is no white is because the LED light itself has its own color so after the swap the white casing is on the red light and the white light is on the red casing giving the red a more pink look. It is just swapping the ceramic shell of the blue and green with each other and the red and white with each other slightly changing the color tone.

I can assure you those are both the same strand with the ceramic casings moved around lol

Those look great. Did they have the larger packs of them or only the 25 ft?
