Went with a real tree this year, with LED's. Not sure I like the LED's, light is a bit harsh

I've looked at those for the outside of the house, but never thought about putting them on the tree.  The houses that use those on the outside have a "glow" about them.  It looks great outside, but you are right, I feel it may be overpowering indoors.

I like your 2008 tree.   :cheersmate:

Beautiful trees!   I am with you on the LED's.  Bought some last year, and they certainly do shine brightly.
