FTA> Heating up the LEDs would help defeat the purpose of saving energy.
This will only be true if it snows every day! Or are they really proposing switching bulbs twice a year?
(There are plenty of people in MA who keep their incandescents year round 'for the free heating' - ignoring the fact that they have their air conditioning on for 6 months a year. People can be perplexing at times.)

Electric heat (in any form or format in homeowner applications) is generally the most expensive way to turn a given quantity of dollars into a given amount of heat. The only MORE expensive option is burning the dollar bills themselves to produce heat.
