    How long are the coupons good?

    Do not buy the Home Accent lights!!! I did several years ago when they did this promotion and the next year more than half didn’t work. They also have very bad reviews online. The other brands seem okay.

    Cannot bring myself to do it. Love the warm glow that comes from my incandescent lights. Hopefully they will find a way to create the same softness with LED’s in the future.

      I whole heartedly agree. I just can’t stand how cold LEDs are.

        The LEDs give me migraines!

    Do they have to work to trade in?

      “So gather up your old strings of incandescent Christmas lights–whether or not they still work– and head to your nearest Home Depot store to trade them in. Dump them in the Christmas light recycling box, and pick up your coupon for money off the purchase of new, energy efficient LED Christmas lights.”

    I’m all for energy conservation (we’ve switched to LEDs wherever possible), but one of my treasures is a box of incandescent Xmas lights to string on my citrus trees to protect them from frost. So you might ask your friends and neighbors if they want them for this purpose, if you live in an area where frost protection is needed. I’m in Northern California.
