Why LED Christmas Bulbs are Greener
Common sense tells us that outdoor holiday lights are the farthest thing from green. But, if you insist on lighting your home, consider LED Christmas lights for energy conservation and cost savings.
Based on the semiconductor diode, LEDs (light emitting diodes) release light when the electrons combine with holes. Although LEDs originally emitted only red light, today’s LEDs produce light across the visible, ultraviolet and infra red wavelengths. This allows interior as well as exterior LED Christmas lights to be produced in a rainbow of colors.
Selecting LED Christmas lights will cost you a bit more up front, but they will use up to 90 percent less energy and can last up to seven times as long as regular incandescent lights. You can expect a savings of over 50% on your holiday electric bill and anticipate 100,000 hours of lighting when these LED Christmas bulbs are used indoors.
LED Christmas Lights–Not only Greener
LED lights are not only greener but have a longer lifetime than classic incandescent Christmas bulbs. They’re also faster switching, more robust and can be manufactured in smaller sizes–as in the case of the LED Christmas mini lights. The array of choices in LED holiday lights has grown tremendously over recent years. Check with your local vendor and expect to find more variety in this type of lighting than you knew ever existed.
