Those eco-friendly death-inducing fragile, poisonous bulbs will never see the interior or exterior of my home. LED bulbs are a different animal and probably safer and even more eco-friendly.
LEDs by far have been the most safe and the most efficient type of lighting. From the field of environmental engineering, semiconductors which compose the LEDs are far more safe than mercury is. LED lights are more difficult to break, and take 1/10 the electrical output of an incandescent, to shine even brighter! Semiconductors are also not volatile like Mercury is. LED bulbs are also durable in comparison to fluorescent or incandescent. My family replaced our Christmas lights with the LED equivalents as they died out, it made our Christmas displays cost less in the power bills
