LED vs Incandescent Commercial Christmas Lights
Commercial Christmas Supply sells commercial-grade 50-light mini light case packs (24 sets per case) in both LED (8 color options, $308.40–$421.20 per case) and incandescent (13 color options, $207.48 per case). LED costs more per case but is rated for 50,000–100,000 hours of light life, versus the much shorter typical bulb life of incandescent mini lights.
LED vs incandescent mini lights: price and specs
| Case price (24 strings/case) | Price per string (50 lights) | Color options | |

LED Mini Lights
Commercial Christmas Supply's LED mini light sets are rated for 50,000–100,000 hours of light life, UL Listed end-to-end, UV resistant, and water-tight sealed for outdoor use. The wide-angle LED lens spreads light for a 360-degree view, and sets are spaced at 6" for commercial-density decorating. Case price range: $308.40–$421.20, sold by the case (24 sets per case, $12.85–$17.55 per individual 50-light string).
Incandescent Mini Lights
Commercial Christmas Supply's incandescent mini light sets are designed for indoor or outdoor commercial use, spaced at 5.5" per bulb, sold by the case (24 sets per case) at a single price point across all color options. Incandescent is the lower-upfront-cost option per case, with a shorter bulb life than LED and higher electricity draw per hour of use. Case price: $207.48 (24 strings per case, $8.65 per individual 50-light string).
Which to choose
For large or long-running commercial installations, such as municipal displays left up for weeks or properties that reuse the same sets across multiple seasons, LED's rated 50,000–100,000 hour life and lower electricity draw typically offset the higher upfront case price over time. For shorter-run or budget-sensitive displays, incandescent mini lights cost less per case up front. Both are sold as commercial-grade sets rated for indoor and outdoor use.
