LED while it does all of that can not duplicate the warm glow of a incandescent C7or C9 bulb. Also the LED lasts longer in Christmas lighting is only partially right. While the actual diode will last for 50,000 or more the design of most christmas lighting on the marked will not last that long. The problem lies in corossion, there is no heat produced by LEDs so they dont dry themselves out. I have over 100,000 lights in a combination of LED and incandescent in everything from micro lights to C-9, strobes, LED strobes, you name it its probably in my display. 99% of the time when I have a set fail I find a socket that has rusted up and the wire broke off. I have about 10,000 lights laid out on my roof, half are colored LED half are incandescent white, all were brand new and are about 8 seasons old. Very rarely do I have problems with the white lights but I have about 3-5 sections a week go out on the LEDs and its always corossion. BGW should never go LED in Holiday Hills, there is a diffrence. FYI for Holiday Hills many of those blow mold decorations were made by General Foam Plastics in Norfolk Va. The company closed that location about 2 years ago. They sold direbtly to the public for a short time every year after Halloween. You could get blowmolds sold online for $50 for around $10.
