LED lights are always better...for 1 they last longer their harder to break and their brighter then regular Christmas tree lights...their a little more expensive but in my opinion its money well spent.

DISAPPOINTING,
We bought several spheres 3 years ago and just loved them. This past year we found them on Amazon and were delighted to buy them for approximately half of what we paid for them at our local Christmas store. We put the new set up and the next night several of the balls had unlit sections. I checked the lights and was able to get all but one lighting properly. Several nights later, the same thing happened. By the time the Christmas season was over nearly every new light we had bought was not lighting properly. Sometimes it was something simply like a bulb being cracked after hitting the tree it was hanging in. Most of the time, however, it was not something simple. Here is the main problem. The lights are not wired in series,therefore, when one bulb is out, the whole section is out. You cannot easily determine which bulb is burned out or shorted. Several times I had to remove all the bulbs in the sphere and test the bulbs one by one before replacing them in the sphere. Since the sockets are so close together and the lights are not wired in any discernible series, you cannot use a conventional Christmas light tester to determine the source of the problem. We had one sphere fall prey to neighborhood vandalism and was smashed by a baseball bat or a similar object. I looked inside the sphere and not only did I find cheap wiring I could not see a pattern or series in the wiring. If you have any wind where you live, they are extremely vulnerable to damage.
I would not buy these lights again because they malfunction quite frequently and are extremely hard to fix when they do.

Made out of junk – not worth the cost.,
Typically, these work right out of the box. Once you hang them, they seem to do okay. But if you want to hang them, take them down and store them, then use again – forget it. Instead, just take them down and throw them in the trash. We used to have a set for the holidays and another set for all other seasons (6-8 each).
They are made so poorly though that every time we store them (even though carefully repacked in the original boxes with all styro-foam inserts), we lose up to 75%. For instance, we just pulled out the Christmas orbs and only 1 out of 7 works. Even though they all worked when they were packed away.) These used to be pretty cheap ($7 -> $10 each) so I didn’t mind taking a bit of a hit on them, but at $25 plus – someone must be smoking crack. They are so cute when they’re working well, but not worth a single season at this price. Save your cash. Plenty of other ways to decorate at a fraction of the cost.
