DreamSpark® LED Christmas Light Strings

DreamSpark® LED Christmas light strings add gentle, continuous motion to a display: each LED slowly fades in and out at random, so the string shimmers softly instead of holding steady. It is the calm alternative to strobes — movement you notice without effects that demand attention.


Every string carries 70 5mm wide-angle LEDs on 4" spacing, in single colors like warm white, cool white, red, green, blue, gold, and orange, plus multicolor, two-color combinations, and ColorCraft® palettes. Every product here is backed by our Reindeer Proof™ Warranty.

How to Choose DreamSpark® Christmas Light Strings

DreamSpark® is The Christmas Light Emporium's random slow fade line. Unlike chase or strobe effects, nothing flashes: individual LEDs dim and brighten on their own timing, which reads as a soft, living shimmer across trees, shrubs, and railings. If a steady-on display feels flat and strobes feel like too much, this is the middle ground.

The 4" spacing puts 70 lights on each string — denser than standard 6" spacing — which keeps the fade effect looking full even when some lights are in their dim phase. Choose single colors for a classic look, two-color combinations for contrast, or the ColorCraft® palette versions (Arctic, Stardust, Champagne) for curated color.

Most strings come on green wire, with warm white and cool white also available on white wire. DreamSpark® icicle and net lights complete the line for rooflines and shrubs. Every product here is backed by our Reindeer Proof™ Warranty.

DreamSpark® Christmas Light Strings FAQ

Answers to common questions about DreamSpark® slow fade LED light strings, including how the effect works and how it compares to twinkle and strobe lights.

What is the DreamSpark® effect?

Each LED on the string slowly fades in and out at random, independent of its neighbors. The result is a gentle, continuous shimmer across the whole string — no blinking, chasing, or strobing.

How is DreamSpark® different from twinkle or strobe lights?

Twinkle and strobe effects are quick flashes. DreamSpark® is a slow, smooth fade — the calmest motion effect we sell, closer to candlelight than to a light show.

How many lights are on a DreamSpark® string?

Every DreamSpark® string carries 70 5mm wide-angle LEDs on 4" spacing, which keeps coverage dense so the fade effect always looks full.

What colors do DreamSpark® strings come in?

Single colors including warm white, cool white, red, green, blue, gold, and orange; multicolor; two-color combinations like red and cool white; and ColorCraft® palettes Arctic, Stardust, and Champagne.

Can I mix DreamSpark® strings with steady-on lights?

Yes — a common approach is steady-on lights as the base layer with DreamSpark® strings layered on trees or focal shrubs to add motion where you want the eye to go.
