So I'm just getting to these, still have garland and Bows to put up.. but did want to try and take a photo to show these are NOT pastel. LED can be different then what you're used too.. also with the bigger lense cover, that can contribute to a color you're not used too.. but over all they're not pastel, easy to throw up and easy to adjust color and speeds

These filament C9 lights are much brighter, clearer, and more beautiful than standard LED C9 lights. I hope Sam's continues to sell these every year. Strands of warm white and red would be great next year!
