CHRISTMAS EFFICIENCY


Deck the Halls with Cost-Saving, Energy-Efficient Lighting


When one goes out, they all go


out, right? Wrong, if you use light-emitting


diodes (LEDs) to do your holiday decorating. These hardy, energy- saving lights are guaranteed to give you one less thing to worry about so you can better focus on the joys of the season. Why are LED holiday lights better than traditional bulbs? We can tell you why.  LEDs are now on par with


traditional bulbs. Gone are the days when LED holiday lights were known for a harsh white light or stark col- ors that created a less-than-magical atmosphere. These days, LEDs come in warm, inviting colors in a variety of light beam patterns and dimming


speeds, giving you lots of creative options for decorating.  LEDs last longer than tradition-


al lights. In fact, they have an op- erational life span of about 20,000 hours, enough to last for 40 holiday seasons. Also, the lights don’t have glass or filaments, which makes them durable and resistant to breaking. And because LEDs bulbs are so strong, one individual outage generally doesn’t darken the whole strand. For those enthusiastic decorators who like to blan- ket their entire house and yard in holiday lights, LEDs could save hours of painstak- ing work each year.


 LEDs use less energy, which


means less strain on your first winter electric bill. Running LEDs on one 6-ft. Christmas tree for 12 hours per day for 40 days can save 90 per- cent or more energy when compared to traditional incandescent lights.  Because they use less energy,


LEDs make it safer to connect mul- tiple strands end-to-end without overloading the wall socket. Also, they’re cool to the touch, reducing the risk of fire.
