LED Holiday Lights

Aaron wrote about LED lights in one of the Project 1 World threads :

"LED Lighting - this is WAY MORE EFFICIENT than fluorescent bulbs. Not sure how the light quality compares yet for the screw in led bulbs meant to replace incandescents. I've been involved with the led industry for years mostly for healing applications but in the past... a screw in bulb using led's used to cost about $70-$90. Now less than $10. The brightness isn't as much as an incandescent but can be... just matter of time. but they do cost probably about 25 cents per year to use. They aren't practical yet for normal lighting but closets, hallways, etc..."


You can get holiday LED lights for decorations this year :

According to Home Depot the LED holiday light "bulbs save energy and burn brighter."

led string lights

These are great Jessica. I used LED string lights at my health food store and the usage was so small, I didn't see any difference in my electric bill and I left them on 24/7.

I just saw some LED holiday lights in Target over the weekend. I noticed the box said they were cool to the touch and last a super long time!

led pros

Some LEDs can last up to 100,000 hours worth of use and are cool because they hardly take any power. It is a matter of time until LED lights for regular home light use will overtake the compact fluorescent light market. Even way more efficient, last longer and more environmentally friendly.
