LED Christmas Lights

LED Christmas lights are the way to go this holiday season. They make the perfect decoration for Christmas trees, inside or outside the house holiday decorations and look fantastic on storefront windows.

LED stands for light-emitting diode. The LED technology uses up to 95% less energy and lasts at least seven times longer than standard light strings. In addition LED lights are much more durable. They are also safer as they emit much less heat.

The shimmering lights are beautiful and unique. They look completely different than the standard Christmas light strings. They are recommended by BC Hydro as one power-smart way to help conserve the environment and lower your electricity costs.

Other power companies internationally should take notice. BC Hydro is offering a reward program for people to replace their halogen torchiere and incandescent holiday light strings with either compact fluorescent torchieres, holiday light-emitting diodes (LED's) or compact fluorescent light bulbs.

LED Christmas lights have improved in quality and the price has come down a bit. Not only are these lights 95% more efficient that incandescent lights, they are safer too. This is because they only operate at 1 degree above ambient temperature. LED string light retailers have had trouble meeting demand in the last few years so look into buying the lights early this year.
