Are LED or incandescent outdoor string lights better?

Reviewer consensus

It depends on priorities reviewers raise repeatedly. Incandescent Edison strands (like Brightech's Ambience Pro) win on warm, authentic glow but draw far more electricity and have more fragile bulbs, per verified-purchase reviewers. LED strands use a fraction of the power and last longer, though some r/HomeImprovement commenters say cheaper LEDs can look less warm. If energy use and longevity matter most, LED; if pure ambiance is the goal, incandescent.
