A post about the cost of Christmas lights

[Gigi]

I remember an interesting article about the cost of using Christmas lights. I THINK it was on here, maybe posted by Library Lady. I can't find it. Does anyone remember?

I don't remember posting that, but with my memory, it could have happened yesterday! LOL

I'm browsing to see if I find an article. But, seems hard to come up with a figure, IMO. So many variables--size of display, type of lights etc.

LED will be cheaper, but here is a chart on incandescent bulbs.

Thanks, L.L. None of those are what I remember. Oh well, it is not really important.
