No End Connector or NEC - This means, you cannot plug sets end to end with a female plug. You will find these stings only have a male plug on one end and the other will end with a bulb. This way you can put these strings in gloss blocks, wine bottles, centerpieces and more without worrying about a big plug hanging down.
Long Lead and Short Lead - This is about the length from the male plug to the first bulb. Depending on the type of craft project you will be using your craft lights in, will determine the lead length you want. The long lead is usually about 36" and the short lead is about 17". The long lead is usually better for bottles and blocks. While the short lead might be better suited for projects like centerpieces.
Shunted Bulbs - You will find that our craft light strings will stay lit even if one bulb goes out. This is because the bulbs are shunted and will continue to put power through to the other bulbs even if there is one that is no longer burning.
Close Bulb Spacing - This will allow you the have more light in a smaller area. Which is just what you want when you are making crafts with mini lights.
We hope this helps you to understand a little more about what some of our industry terms mean. Check out our full selection of craft mini lights to see all of the counts and colors available.
