When you imagine decking your halls, the twinkling strands of holiday lights are probably one of the first things that come to mind. The cozy glow they give add so much to the holiday atmosphere. But these small strands of lights have a bigger impact than you might imagine. Thanks to extravagant holiday displays, homeowners consume significantly more electricity during the holiday season, which in turn impacts the environment and climate change.
This Christmas, instead of using conventional Christmas lights to trim your tree, consider switching to energy-efficient lights. LED lights are quickly becoming a popular choice for homeowners. Because these light-emitting diodes (LEDs) do not require a color filter, they are much more energy efficient than traditional lights. Energy-saving bulbs are another alternative that comes in a variety of shapes and sizes. As an added bonus, these bulbs last up to 12 times longer than the traditional ones. No matter which alternative you choose, these energy-efficient lights provide many benefits for the environment, as well as homeowners.
Let your Christmas decorating make a real difference this holiday season by choosing to use energy-efficient lights. It’s the best Christmas present you could give to the environment!
