That's a great program, thanks for posting it!  I would totally take advantage of it if my Xmas lights weren't already LEDs.  I can't wait to put them up!

Oh sweet!  Thanks for posting this.  We have some LED strands, but my dad gave us a bunch of his Christmas lights last year before he moved.  We took them because it certainly beat throwing them out, but this would be even better.

ps. In additon to using less energy, the risk of fire diminishes with LED lights because they don't get hot.

Great, thanks!  We need more lights, and I'm sure my parents would love to replace their old ones.

This is awesome, thanks!!!  I've been wanting to get rid of old lights properly and invest in some more LEDs.
