LEDs begin to outshine traditional bulbs in holiday light displays

One of the hot tickets this holiday season appears to be Christmas lights that use light-emitting diodes rather than more conventional bulbs. The popularity of LEDs is the latest in the evolution of the energy-saving, long-lasting lighting alternative that homeowners, in particular, have been gradually falling in love with in recent years. LEDs have been gaining in popularity with consumers not only because of their longevity and energy efficiency, but also because they produce less heat.
