Also, is it me, or are Cool White LED icicle lights becoming harder and harder to find? Most stores around here seem to only have the Warm White ones. The only store nearby that had the Cool White ones (GE brand) was the Sears store at Fiesta Mall in Mesa, so we reserved 3 of them online and picked them up to install them next year.
This year, our house is decorated with two different sets of ligths: Cool White LED icicle lights along the roofline over the garage, and regular incandescent string lights on the roofline over the front window. We want to go 100% Cool White LED icicle lights next year, which is why we bought three additional sets of 100.
Warm white light looks great. The cold white gives your X-mas tree bluish light that might look good but it depends on decoration.
We have a nice tree with mixed lights at work and you can see the difference here:
(white warm and white cool LED)

I agree that for a Christmas tree, Warm White is probably preferrable. However, for outdoor icicle lights, Cool White just seems to be more appropriate since it adds to the "icy" look.
Speaking about LED lights, do they really save that much money? Is there a good place to buy them where they don't cost an arm and a leg? I was thinking of putting LED mini lights on out indoor tree, but I'm having a hard time justifying spending more than $6 for a string of 50 mini lights. (I don't want the bigger light bulbs on the tree)
I think they do. I have 10 strings outside my house. At 4.6 watts per string, using them 4 hours per day, for 6 weeks, I figure my total electricity bill to run them will be about 63 cents.
