Convert to LED Christmas Lights

Posted on 19. Nov, 2008 by Chris Baskind in Christmas, Holidays, The Daily Footstep

Two or three years ago, LED Christmas lights were a pricey specialty item. Now you can find them at your neighborhood big-box discount store — at prices genuinely competitive with traditional bulbs. That makes LEDs a no-brainer. In addition to using up to 60 percent less power than incandescent lights, LED bulbs will last thousands of hours longer. So safely dispose of that that tangled wad of old Christmas lights, and green-up your holiday decorations!

    They are notably more expensive I notice to run LED lights — I was shocked at the fact that they were like 3 times as expensive at home depot compared to the old style lights.

    I saw a name brand string of 70 LED lights for six bucks. That's close enough to conventional bulb prices for most people — especially in view of the fact that the same strand would have sold for three times that a year or so ago. If you could find them.
