Like them or hate them, where would we be without LEDs? TVs, monitors, and scoreboards would be cathode-ray tubes, or projections, or a bunch of tiny incandescent bulbs. As far as marquee signs with the old style bulbs that run or are stationary, there were sometimes hundreds of them and you rarely saw one that didn't have more than a few burned out. But those I prefer not to be LEDs. How many times did 100 Congress have burned out bulbs on its peaks? Would the crown on the Fairmont be as elaborately lit? We're going to have to be in acceptance of LEDs if we want more of our buildings to have a decent night light. As far as LEDs used as holiday lights, that's really person preference. I use both because I like both. Also, I paid $3.28 for a standard 100 light string, and $9.99 for the same size LED string. But the LED strings will probably out live me.
