Tell us how many of the bulbs failed at the end of
the Christmas season. Last year, I bought a
package of nightlites (cycle a series of colors)
that I bought from Costco (not cheap). Out of 5
only the two that we kept still work.


I put out about 90 strings of LED lights (most new) just after
Thanksgiving. 2 failed within 2 days. None have failed since then.

I started to look at one to see if I could tell what failed, but those
plastic bulges are very tough.

My wife and I bought a few strands from Lowes (in Grand Rapids, MI)
just a few days ago. They had a bunch in stock. We bought the Forever
Brite 70-light multicolored strands. They use a fraction of the
electricity, are brighter, more durable (solid plastic bulbs, no
sockets to corrode), cool to the touch, and are supposed to last 20
years (according to the box). Just like I've sworn off purchasing
incandescent light bulbs for all but the most unusual cases, I'm now
swearing off incandescent Christmas light sets (unless these give me
problems). They were $10 per strand.

Last year I saw a far number of LED Christmas lights. Not a great
number, but not uncommon. This year, I have only seen a couple. Anyone
know what happened. I would guess they did not sell well last year. Were
there other problems?
