LED CHRISTMAS LIGHTS

LED Christmas Lights

For me, nothing induces a good case of eco-guilt like Christmas tree lights. They may be gaudy, cheesy, blazing examples of over-consumption festooned across our streets, but I love them. But this year, it's time to break free from this dysfunctional relationship and invest in a few strands of LED lights to twinkle my greenery. Compared to traditional Christmas lights, I'll be using 1/10th the amount of electricity to light the small LED's, and 1/160th for the larger bulbs. Beyond the expected energy savings, LED strands also burn brighter so my tree will be more jolly than my neighbors' tawdry displays. LED's are also significantly more durable, meaning my holiday cheer will survive the elements and twinkle for years to come.
