billvon 3,120 #1 December 2, 2002 Just got some white LED christmas lights. They look pretty good - slightly bluish, with some flicker. There is some color-temperature difference between the lights, but nothing severe. Haven't tested power draw yet but their specs say they draw 3 watts vs 43 watts for a normal incandescent white light string. They're also indestructible (all molded plastic) and should last for more christmases than your typical person. They cost ~$19.00 for a string of 70 at QVC.

I need new lights for my tree. Thanks _________________________________________ Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Muenkel 0 #7 December 2, 2002 Just checked out the site. It is the website for the home shopping channel QVC. Anyway, they look like a great deal. Just a quick question: Do they have that blueish hue similier to the HID headlights I have on my car? I ask because those headlights drive everyone nuts. I am constantly being flashed for having my brights on. But then again, I don't expect my Christmas tree to be driving down the road. _________________________________________ Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wlie 0 #8 December 2, 2002 That was funny. I can imagine Bill with a beer in hand, and too lazy to get up so farts into the couch. My other ride is the relative wind. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Muenkel 0 #9 December 2, 2002 Another thing folks, while we are on the conserve energy topic: If you can, install digital thermostats with timers. You can get them in Home Depot or Loews for about $29. These help you manage your heat usage while you are not home. _________________________________________ Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In California, they still have outdoor bathing facilities and tried to pass them off as "hot tubs". Got to be pretty gullible to believe that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This went from a practical, ecologically sound idea to a fart thread. The entire spectrum, solving global warming and adding to it in 5 posts. It's too bad chicks don't appreciate fart jokes. I'm normally more sophisticated also, but today is Monday, so I'm taking the day off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

happythoughts 0 #25 December 2, 2002 Quote Quote It's too bad chicks don't appreciate fart jokes They do really, they just don't admit to it Usually the ones who have dogs. They have something to blame it on. "Bad doggy...that worming medicine gives her so much gas." See? Then they can chuckle about it nervously. All the time you're thinking, "Damn that dog has some volume for such a small dog...". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
