There’s nothing like twinkly Christmas lights to make you feel warm and cozy over the holiday season. Sure they may be cheesy, gaudy, and often way over the top on certain houses every year, but that is part of the fun, right? Well, you’ll feel even better about your Christmas lights this year if they were LED lights – which use 90% less electricity than traditional tungsten bulbs. Not only does that bring your electricity bill way down, but it lessens your carbon footprint as well, and lowering your energy consumption helps fight global warming. Finally, LED Christmas lights last much longer than traditional tungsten Christmas lights, are more durable, and never have that annoying problem where one burnt out bulb kills your whole strand.

OhmyGAWD! (If you believe in such creatures…) Let’s think up ANOTHER thing to buy for the Holidays! Must we burn SOMETHING/ANYTHING to celebrate the winter solstice? Not that I would wish us all to huddle glumly in the dark, but….geez “consume, consume, consume”….
Great tip! I’ve posted a link to this article at GreenDeals Daily (http://greendealsdaily.com)
Christopher P., since people are going to buy christmas lights anyway, don’t you think they should be a lot less wasteful than the old style lights? I agree that since xians hijacked the Winter Solstice it has become a greed-fueled spending contest, but give some credit to people who are trying to reduce wastefulness as much as they can. Every little bit does help.

well said, butch. every little bit CAN help.
it’s great that some of these lights are available at places like home depot and are easily accessible to the general public. true that christmas has become over done and consumer driven. but again, most people are going to be decorating with lights regardless, so why not help cut costs a little and use these led lights?

I certainly agree with the tenor of this article. There’s no reason people shouldn’t switch to multi color LED Christmas lights this holiday season. Aside from the positive environmental externalities, they are just really pretty as well.
