There’s a big push lately to move to CFL (compact fluorescent light) bulbs in the home. Consumer advocate clark howard thinks this will be short lived as we’ll be moving to LED lighting in the near future anyways. There are some applications that are already using LED lights, such as Christmas/Holiday lighting and its got a definate benefit over the traditional lights. According to one study:

a mere 20% shift of American households to LED Christmas lights would save enough power in one holiday season to power 200 homes for an entire year

If thats the case, its a pretty good reason to switch to LED holiday lights right now. The light given off is cooler, brighter and longer lasting than the traditional methods, plus, they’ll help save on energy bills. The LED systems are a little more diverse in how they can be set up and they also come in several cool colors (have you seen the bright blue LEDs?). The technology in LED lighting has come along way and now’s the time to make the switch to LED holiday lights.
