Lower your energy costs during the holidays

When neighborhoods and streets are glittering with lights, it's very important to keep saving energy in the back of your mind. A simple way of achieving this is to use LED lights instead of the more traditional decorative lights.

Aside from lowering your energy bill, LED lights generally have a longer life than typical bulbs. For example, the average LED light will last approximately 200,000 hours while normal bulbs last between 1000 to 2000 hours. In other words, the average LED light will last 100-200x longer. The only drawback is that these LED lights cost signficantly more than typical bulbs. Fortunately if you use them year after year, you will definitely recoup the initial purchase.

All this being said, now that the holidays are almost over, you should start thinking about taking down your xmas lights (to save electricity of course!)
