Or even worse, six hours of video making LED christmas lights look like the incandescent light from 30 years ago.

At least that particular quest is finally at an end

Yes, hopefully. For his own sanity. Someone finally made commercially available LED bulbs the way he was trying to DIY it.

But they were a tad pricey…

Should a cheaper alternative come along, won’t we all be curious whether it might suffice? 😇

That was already addressed in his latest video: his local home center (Menards, I think?) came out with a cheaper version (it tried to have old-timey colors, but still used colored LEDs underneath instead of white), and no, it didn't suffice.
