Yes! I said this to my friends and family a few years back and got looked at like I'm nuts.

To me, they have an extra intensity to them. A sort of radiance that make them feel like almost a little too much to look at sometimes. String lights of old had like a more gentle vibe or something

Agreed. Were lights expensive for yall too this year? I easily spent $300 at the store without realizing it

They’re LEDs… the old filament bulbs are much more pleasant. My favorites are the big glass C9 ones (for your house) that have an opaque coating. The new ones are all transparent, dyed plastic (and LED) and the color intensity and brightness is just too much.
