Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between SuperSpark® and QuadSpark®?

SuperSpark® strobes every light on the string simultaneously — a bold, uniform flash across the entire run. QuadSpark® strobes every fourth light in sequence, creating a rolling, cascading twinkle that is subtler than a full simultaneous strobe.

What is DreamSpark®?

DreamSpark® is The Christmas Light Emporium’s slow fade string light line. Each string cycles through a slow, rhythmic fade in and out rather than flashing. The effect is calming and elegant — notably different from strobe or twinkle products.

Are specialty strings dimmable?

Specialty effect strings — including slow fade, strobe, and RGB strings — may not be dimmable or may display undesirable behavior when used with a dimmer. For dimmable options, standard steady-on strings are the reliable choice.

What is ColorSplash?

ColorSplash is an exclusive line of multi-color blend strings available only at The Christmas Light Emporium. Each ColorSplash string contains a specific combination of colors in a single run — these combinations are not available from any other retailer.
