It seems the leading trend this Christmas season is to use LED Christmas lights instead of the old, tiny, incandescent ones. It’s not something new for this year; I remember Ikea using LEDs for their star-type lights last or a few years back, but no doubt stirred by Al Gore et al, LEDs have been a huge hit for the environmentally-conscious bandwagon jumpers.
I’m all for conservation, but I’ve noticed that LED lights don’t look as beautiful or classy as the lights of old. The multi-colored lights that I’ve seen look like displays setup for kids, instead of having the warm, happy tone of the Christmas lights that I grew up with. And I don’t think it’s a case of nostalgia, but more a case of the light being given off from LEDs being unrectified.
