Has anyone tried them, or seen them in action?
There are several houses near mine that are LED'd... They are like
aircraft runway lights in brightness...
Are they close enough to the regular small lights?
If you like a blue cast in your xmas lights and a whole lot more
brightness...
I like the idea (and I read that too this morning, BTW) of saving all that
electricity, but just like every other Green if you do/don't do X, we'll
save the entire planet in one day idea, I think it has a negative side that
no one wants to see. In particluar, this one begs me to ask the question
:Has anyone tried them, or seen them in action?
Yes, we're about 35% LED this year
:Are they close enough to the regular small lights?
They're much brighter and don't get hot
Have they solved the one bulb is out, all others are out thing?
:Yup..
This is something I may need to check out.

I am not replacing, but buying new. But, yes, that is a concern. But
going by thousands of units just my local Walgreens and Walmart go
through, plenty are being bought each year, and if only some of them
were LED (and assuming the _making_ of the lights were equivalent in
environmental costs), it
Yeah. Those old incandescant bulbs will be lonely, languishing in the
garage, replaced by those upstart LEDs

Depending on the lights you buy, this problem has been solved years ago.
The lights I have at home, you can remove any number of bulbs and the
rest will stay lit. That goes for the tree lights as well as the outside
lights. And I have had them for over 8 years now.

lawn thing when I get old, just for the fun of
it, for a better tomorrow

I often wonder at how they can sell *so many* holiday happy fun time
(how's that for PC) lights. Don't we reach a saturation point at some
time?
Guess it's like that Seinfeld joke...how can anyone be buying bic pens
these days? Who doesn't have pens lying all over the place?

Take me for example.
I had a complete set (mulitple sets, inside, outside, house, outside
trees.) But I gave them to my sister when I gave her my house. She
still uses them.
I moved to Portland OR, and bought a couple of sets of indoor, and one
string of outdoor.
When I moved from Portland back
my problem is usually the crappy wiring and connectors on those light
sets. It may be that the lights last a long time, but the wires don't
seem to be any better.
