Bought another set of lights this year from general elactric and unlike last years set which consisted of only four colors (red, yellow, green and blue) this years sets include violet leds. Same holds true for the GE prelit trees with LED's.

Hi,
I want to give Some Information about LED Christmas lights .....
LED Christmas lights use light emitting diodes rather than the traditional miniature incandescent bulbs. LED's are much like incandescent bulbs except that they do not have a filament inside that can burn out and take the entire string of bulbs with it. Instead, they are illuminated by the movement of electrons in a semi-conductor material. Another benefit of this light source is the absence of excessive heat and wasted electricity.
LED's have been around for a long time, but only caught on for use as LED lights in recent years. One reason is that older LED's originally came in only red. Incandescent bulbs, on the other hand, emit only white light but are encased in colored glass. Another problem was a lack of brightness of LED's. The potential was there however, and advanced LED's solved these problems. Today you can find LED Christmas lights in all kinds of shapes and sizes. They can blink just like the regular incandescent varieties and come in a wide range of color
