Can Ornament motors be used with LED light sets? In a word, no. At the present time, neither Ornamotions or Ornamotors are compatible with LED light sets. The energy saving feature that makes the LED lights desirable renders them useless for many holiday lighting accessories. The LED powering device does not generate enough energy to rotate the motor inside of the Ornament rotator and/or rotate an ornament. However, we've been assured (as of 2019) that manufacturers are working on this problem and if it can be resolved, ornament motors for LED's will be available soon.

Please Note: We accept no liability for the use or misuse of these products. I assume no liability for the use or misuse of these instructions or those provided by the manufacturer.
