Fairy lights WITHOUT blue?

[FrankieNeverRelax]

Please can someone tell me where to buy Christmas colourful lights without the awful blue in them? For some reason the blue in the colourful lights removes all joy for me 😂

Tesco do some really nice lights without the blue .

B&Q! I was delighted to find them.

Ah yes I know what you mean. Traditional lights would be red, pink, green, orange and yellow with that lovely soft incandescent glow.

The Range.

Or red green and gold. I’m a plain warm white twinkle person myself but I do have a place in my heart for a full on 70s mad colour display. Never seen pink as part of that vibe though.

The blue always makes it look as though someone has parked an ambulance in the room.

I’d love to know too. I’ve never managed to find any LED lights I’ve liked even a little bit. I’d love to be able to buy the old fashioned incandescent Christmas lights.

The original colors come from the fact that they were white lights with coloured glass in front of them.

So the blue mixed with the warm yellow-ish light to make a green-y blue.
The red mixed with the light to make it seem more pinky
etc.

most LEDs just whack on whatever colour LED they need, and that emits a direct strong colour - which is fine, but doesn't match all of our ideals of what it should be. The blue is the most glaring issue because blue was the hardest colour for older lights to do, partly because it shifted green, and partly because it was a dark colour to put in front of the light, which made them stand out less.

I've got a few traditional sets that are still going and give that old feel, but I'd love an LED set that mirrored it. I don't see why they can't make one. warm LED lights inside similar coloured casings. But the ones I've tried to buy before have all let me down.

The Range and Tesco have them. I suspect that we've reached 'peak' for Christmas stock now so buy some quickly! Last year there was little left by the first week of December.

Yes I distinctly remember the pink ones from my childhood Christmases.

Yes pink is what I remember from the 80's.
