These bulbs are available in both incandescent and LED options, with LED bulbs being more energy-efficient. Incandescent C7 bulbs typically burn at around 5 watts per bulb, indicating their power consumption. However, it is worth noting that there are newer and brighter options available in the market that use 7 watt incandescent bulbs. LED C7 bulbs, on the other hand, use significantly less electricity, approximately 90% less, compared to incandescent bulbs.
C7 bulbs are commonly used for various outdoor applications, such as outlining roofs, stringing on pergolas, and decorating outdoor trees. They can also be used to create a high-end look in residential settings, adding a touch of elegance to gardens, gazebos, and other outdoor spaces. In commercial settings, C7 bulbs are often chosen for larger scale decorations in malls, stores, and outdoor Christmas trees.
