Yes they are. However, (at least with the LED strands I got for lighting our tree) they flicker... at 60 Hz the same as the AC they are hooked up to. They can start and stop so quickly that you would never know, but slow motion video cameras and hands being waved in front of them don't lie. You may be able to smooth this out with some capacitors, but I am not that smart. The reason incandescent bulbs don't flicker is because the filament continues to glow between waves.
