Commercial Grade Christmas Lights Will Be Brighter And Last Longer
Long Answer: It comes down to paying the price for higher quality. What makes Christmas lights “commercial-grade” is the durability and efficiency of the parts they are made with. This includes weatherproof lights and cables, as well as energy-saving, LED technology.

With this in mind, you know you are getting a good product that will do its job well for many years to come. Let’s look at the components of commercial-grade lights.
Light Emitting Diodes (LED lights) On Commercial Christmas Lights
All our Christmas lights will come with LED technology. Commercial Christmas LED lights are much brighter and more efficient than traditional incandescent lights. Since LED lights do not heat up nearly as much as traditional lights they are able to use about 90% less energy to produce the same amount of light. For the same reason, they are able to last about 10 times as long as the traditional bulb. This provides the added benefit that the LED Christmas lights remain cool to the touch as well as not burning out. Instead, they will begin to slowly fade at the end of their 50,000-hour lifespan giving you time to replace them.
If the traditional look and feel of incandescent bulbs are what you are looking for, then don’t worry. Holiday Bright Lights makes the best commercial-grade Christmas lights. Their C7 and C9 bulbs have achieved the look with LED filaments. Essentially, the diodes are miniaturized and made to look like a traditional incandescent filament to produce a similar light characteristic while maintaining the efficiency of LED technology. This way you have both the old-timey feel of Christmas and the modern qualities of LED lights.
The Durability Of Commercial Christmas Lighting
You might be thinking you can just get LED Christmas lights at your local hardware store. The difference is that commercial-grade C7 and C9 LED bulbs will include more diodes per bulb than their consumer-grade counterparts. This contributes to much brighter light and a slower fade at the end of their life span. With a 50,000 hour light lifespan on the C9 bulbs we carry, you can run your Christmas lights 15 hours a night all through November and December every year for 50 years before they start to give out.
With this timeline, you might think that your bulbs will break and shatter before they even reach the end of the LED lifespan. But fear not! Commercial-grade Holiday Bright Light C9 and C7 bulbs come with a polycarbonate shell in place of traditional glass. This keeps the clear glass-like feel of traditional incandescent bulbs but is made of shatterproof plastic. This way you know the housing lifespan will be on par with that of the LED.
Commercial grade waterproofing is the final piece of the puzzle for a truly durable lighting setup. Our C7 and C9 bulbs include a waterproof, outdoor UL rating so you know they will stand up to the winter elements through many years. Similarly, all our commercial grade Christmas light wires include an SPT 1W rating, meaning they are weatherproof and able to withstand the elements along with your lights.
