I checked at Lowe’s and led lighting is still quite expensive and not available in many sizes. It wasn’t expensive, however, to get led Christmas lights, so that’s a start. They’ll be available little by little, just like the CFL’s are. This is the way to go both for the environment (no mercury) and for energy conservation. And will there then be something new after that? Maybe, and if it’s even better for the environment, let’s go for it!
