Product Basics
Q: What’s the difference between LED and traditional incandescent bulbs?
A: LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) use 90% less energy than incandescent bulbs and last up to 25 times longer (50,000 hours vs. 2,000 hours). They generate minimal heat, making them much safer. While the upfront cost is higher, long-term savings are significant.
Q: What’s the difference between “Warm White” and “Cool White”? Which should I choose?
A: Color temperature is measured in Kelvin (K):
- Warm White (2700K–3000K): Yellowish tone, creates cozy, vintage ambiance—ideal for bedrooms, living rooms, and dining areas
- Cool White (4000K–5000K): Blue-white tone, bright and crisp—best for kitchens, workspaces, and commercial displays
- Natural White (3500K): Middle ground, versatile choice
Can’t decide? Choose color-tunable products and switch anytime.
Q: How long do battery-operated string lights last?
A: Depends on battery type and usage pattern:
- Disposable AA/AAA batteries: approximately 8–12 hours continuous use
- Rechargeable lithium batteries: approximately 20–30 hours
- Solar-powered: 6–8 hours daytime charging, 6–10 hours nighttime illumination
Using timer functions (e.g., 6 hours on/18 hours off) extends battery life 3–4x.
