Are the fairly new LED christmas light strings worth buying? I'm kind of frustrated with the rate of failure on the ice cycle lights and heard the LEDs are long lasting... but when I did some searching on customer comments, the LEDs didn't look real promising either.
One customer said they bought three strings of c6 bulbs last year and this year none of the three strings work. Appear to have filled with rain water and rusted. Another said two out of eight strings were not working this year. Anyone have better results and are C6 or C9 preferred?
I understand they use less electric, but I'm not so much concerned about that since a couple of weeks use won't save much compared to the extra price. Another advantage is being able to put several times more strings together in one long circuit and that appeals to me.
