Default Happy Holidays from Garage1217! Pics of our 100% LED Xmas!

It is out second year doing 100% led lights, turned out great! Could not imagine counting all the leds. Very different look than the rest of the block!

My girlfriends parents were going to go all-led's but at 10 bucks a box they didn't get half as many lights as you've got, lol (For anyone who doesn't know, regular run of the mill x-mas lights are like 2.50-3bucks a box)

I like how they glow rather than shine like a regular bulb... the light output is different and more elegant. Your house looks great. Is the electricity savings really significant with the LEDS over traditional bulbs for you?

Oh and happy holidays!

I honestly have not noticed a bump at all in my electric bill which rocks, did not notice one last year as well. And yeah the light output is totally different. I spend massive cash going all led, but it was so worth it! All we added this year over last year is a bunch of led icicles to the tree.

In person it is 10x cooler looking. A lot of it looks blue in the pics, but in person it is blue and white on the roof and so forth / total mix of colors. Same with my led swaps, pics never do it justice!

Thats cool that your bill didn't raise any. Said on the box it was 10x more efficient (4 watts, or something vesus 40 per strand I think)

I like the icicles too. You got my props, lol. I know how much effort putting up so many lights is, especially with limited help.
