They did a special on HGTV with a house that had completely over decorated with LED Christmas lights. Thousands of them, only raised the power bill $30.

I looked at them for my house, but right now they are PRICEY and best used for task lighting. I didn’t see anything that would replace a 60w lightbulb yet.

Or that could just be me not understanding what all the technical stuff meant. :-)

We had 1000 LED lights for Christmas and they only draw 30 watts.

There are LED bulbs that can replace a standard 60watt light bulb. Unfortunately, they cost about $30 each, so unless the price starts to drop drastically, these bulbs will not be able to compete against the CFL bulbs the enviro-wackos are currently pushing.
