Is it worth switching to LED holiday lights?

As homeowners begin decorating their homes for the holiday season, some are wondering if LED lights are worth the higher price. According to the Department of Energy, LEDs use a lot less energy. It says lighting a 6-foot Christmas tree with traditional mini-lights will raise your electric bill by $10 a month. The cost with LED lights – 27 cents. If you decorate your whole house with LED lights, you could save $50 to $100 a month – and LEDs last longer.
