You know how great inventions seem so simple once someone has invented it? Here is a perfect example:  Most modern homes, or renovated older ones, end up with recessed can lighting all over the place. It's cheap, it does the job and it's inoffensive. But it also has no style and looks like you cheaped out on the decor, or couldn't make a decision. On top of that, while it's inexpensive to install,  taking them out has always required an electrician, a plaster guy, and then repainting.

Until now.

Now, if you've been following along, you'll know about saving money on your electric bill by replacing incandescent bulbs with CFLs and the new LED bulbs just hitting shelves.  Today, I'm going to tell you how swapping your old lights for LED Christmas lights can save you money three ways.

I know it's early yet to be thinking about holiday decorations, but the whole inspiration for this blog today is a program that Home Depot is only running for a limited time. From now until 11/14, you can trade-in old-style Christmas lights and get $3 off a string of new, energy efficient, LED lights.

Update 11/18 - See the bottom of the page for Sears and Kmart light recycling deals.
