Look at the Bulb Shape and Size<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • LED bulbs<\/strong> are often smaller, more compact, and have a plastic lens rather than glass.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • They may have a slightly squared or faceted look (to help with light diffusion).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Check the Label or Packaging<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Look for terms like \u201cLED\u201d<\/strong>, \u201clight-emitting diode\u201d<\/strong>, or \u201cenergy-saving\u201d<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Wattage listed will usually be much lower than incandescent lights (e.g. 4W for a long LED strand vs 40W+ for traditional).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Plug Them In and Observe<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • LED lights<\/strong> are usually brighter and have a more focused, pinpoint glow.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Colors might appear crisper and cooler, especially white LEDs which often have a bluish tint (unless they\u2019re \u201cwarm white\u201d).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Feel the Heat<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • After being on for 10\u201315 minutes, LEDs stay cool<\/strong>, while incandescent bulbs get hot<\/strong> to the touch.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Check the Wiring and Build<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        • LED sets often have rectifiers or resistors<\/strong> in the wiring.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • The light may also flicker slightly<\/strong> to the naked eye (especially in cheaper models), due to the way the power is regulated.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
