Clever idea over at DIYPhotography.net: Wind outdoor lights around a wire wreathe frame, using the lights’ built-in-clips to secure them in place. The resulting “glamor” video lighting looks pretty good, as you can see. [Thanks, Udi!]

Could clear LED bulbs work?

  Probably work okay but LEDs tend to give a light that’s not as pleasing as incandescent. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Led#White_light Basically, they don’t tend to give off light in every colour and every colour in between (like a rainbow) that is a true white like incandescent they instead have mish-mash of different colour that we see as white, cameras don’t always think it’s as white as we think. Also, most LED christmas lights I have seen have a very blue tint and you can clearly see them pulsating. I’d personally go with incandescent, LED can look ok on camera but not always.

  Give it a shot and get back to us

I think that everyone who replaces Christ in Christmas with the letter x should have their name replaced with the letter x.

  Using X in place of “Christ” is not a means of removing Christ from the holiday. X has been used for a thousand years to contract the word Christ and it’s compounds, such as Christmas. The X was originally used in place of the Greek word Χριστος meaning Christ. It has never been used as means to secularize the holiday, that is a rampant misconception.
