I was an early convert to LED lighting. Started years ago when I upgraded my Christmas light display to LED and noticed immediately that they had virtually no impact on my electric bill. I was won over from that point on.

I've never been a fan of bright overhead lights in my home at night anyhow. I prefer more subdued "accent" lighting throughout the house like pictured below. LED is perfect for that.

This is stock photo by the way to show what I'm talking about - not my actual living room.

I used to have to carefully plan my plug-in scheme for my Christmas lights, as I line my driveway which is pretty long, and my front walk. The incandescents needed a new plug/cord every 2 1/2 strings (about 60 lights), or they would throw a breaker. It got so complicated, I drew a diagram when I got a configuration that worked!

I went to LED’s, and I was a happy man. According to the wattage numbers on the box, I could string a half mile of the LED’s without the same problem. I plug one side of the driveway and my front walk into one outlet, and the other side of my driveway into another. DONE!!!

I can make that same shot using incandescent lighting and a trip through Photoshop. I bet you that any LED photo has to be post-processed in order to look like that.
