Yes, they sure know how to suck the joy out of everything, don’t they? Honestly, whoever gave a moment’s thought to the cost of power for Christmas lights?
Exactly, a sick mentality. How can we get along with these loons?

I agree that the LED bulbs are really ugly. Yuck.
The owner of the house we bought left behind his old C9 strings, but they had all sorts of current leakages and were tripping the GFCI all the time, so we “upgraded” to LED bulbs. No more trips, but they have that harsh, electric blue color and, when you look at some of the bulbs a certain way, you get a very bright pinpoint of light. I can’t stand them.

You can’t say Christmas in loonworld. Have to say “holiday.” It’s an in your face insult.

If you shine bright enough, your neighbors’ should owe you for their night time solar panel production.
So, Christmas lights are saving the planet.

My Jewish neighbor would complain, sarcastically of course, because when his son was young and saw my house the son would get pissed they didn’t celebrate Christmas.

But I see the LEDs as kinda cold......where the incandescents are warmer and more astetically pleasing to the eye.No doubt, the warm mini led's are usable.

LEDs don’t draw much at all. It’s the incandescents that suck the juice. But I see the LEDs as kinda cold......where the incandescents are warmer and more astetically pleasing to the eye.
This! One hundred percent!
I bought all new lights for my family room Christmas Tree this year and went with LEDs and I don't like them at all. Like you said, cold. No glow. They're very sharp and harsh.
We have a smaller tree in the living room with white incandescent bulbs and I like these a lot more. They have a glow, an aura, that fills the room. Much more pleasing.
LEDs might save money and they have their applications but not for Christmas lights.
