God, I hate LED Christmas Lights
Sure, they're brighter, give off purer colors, and use less energy than traditional incandescent lights.
But they flicker. They evidently use cheapass converters that either just chop off half of the waveform or don't even bother and just throw it all at the LEDs, resulting in a 60 Hz flash. I can't stand it. And I hate it when I'm driving, and eye-movements turn the lights not into the usual smear of color, but into a series of dashes. This is the same reason I hate LED brake lights on cars; they do the same damned thing.
