In a way, we all had to know this was coming eventually.

I can't even fathom the amount of electric power this could probably will save.

Already I'm seeing LED traffic control signs, tail-lights, etc.

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. :-)

Actually, not that much electricity will be saved. The big power users in your house are the water heater, your electric central heat (even if it’s a heat pump), the electric clothes dryer, and the refrigerator. When they improve the efficiency of these things, then we’ll really save some juice.

Have you seen the new LED Christmas Lights? Driving around this year I noticed many homes that used to use these standard multicolored mini lights

are now using these brighter LED ones:
