Is led lights the same as Christmas lights?

The answer is that they are not necessarily the same. LED lights can be Christmas Lights, but not all Christmas Lights are LED Christmas Lights. LED or Light Emitting Diodes are the type of light source used not a general type of light. LED lights can be used for Street Lights, Flood Lights, Rope Lights, standard household lights or Christmas Lights. Just about any light out there now comes in an LED version. Using LED lights are a great way to save on power consumption. They generally use 90% less power than standard incandescent bulbs. Your typical Christmas Light is generally an incandescent light unless it specifically says it is and LED version. LED Christmas Lights do use less power but usually cost a lot more than standard incandescent Christmas Lights. Many Christmas Light retailers have more information on their websites regarding LED versus incandescent Christmas Lights that would probably be helpful to look at before purchasing any type of Christmas light to make sure you are getting just what you want.

How many amps in a string of Christmas lights?

It depends on which lights get used. A 100-count string of incandescent mini lights runs at 40 watts, while a 70 count of 5mm Wide Angle LEDs is approximately 4.8 watts total. In fact, because incandescent wattage is 80-90% more than LED wattage, the cost to power an incandescent can be up to 90x greater than powering an LED. Calculate Amps by dividing total wattage by 120 volts (US household outlets carry 120 volts) So about .33 for incandescent and about 4 for LED.
