Bright lights in the big city.
LEDs are still very expensive for regular household use, but good options are expected to be available in the next several years.
LEDs are very energy-efficient; a string of Christmas tree lights only uses a few watts. And they last a long time. LEDTronics representatives said that their LEDs will last 5.7 years with lights on 24 hours a day, or 17 years if they are on 8 hours a day. In addition, the bulbs are made of plastic and so are less fragile than glass lamps.
