LED. Be green. When the world comes to an end because of global warming...I'll blame you. Think about it. All that weight is on your shoulders now. Just make the choice and do LED's. I BELIEVE IN YOU!!!!

I prefer energy saving lights and their light look soft

LED lights might be green, but they pale in comparison to the traditional lights. I would say go with the traditional lights they look better and feel more like Christmas than their LED counterparts :)

we have the traditional lights on our prelit tree. i don't like the led lights for inside use. there is a park in my city that uses both kinds, so it is easier to compare i like the traditional because they seem to subtly glow instead of radiate - the leds are so bright that sometimes they just seem to be so bright they all become one color.however, there is this mall along the highway near my home who use led lights on their trees outside - its is really pretty to drive by and i am sure they appreciate the energy they save because they have over 100 trees they light up. the down side to it is that all of the trees are blue or white

Yeah, sure Monkey... Xmas lights are going to save the world...

I would think whatever your preference is... there's no point in decorating if you're not going to enjoy its appeal... this is one of the few things where what looks the best is what counts...
