Summary

Switch to LED lights this holiday season to save money and energy, and reduce environmental impact. Check out the wide range of options available online and replace old lights with LEDs as they burn out.

Description

Make this holiday season light up with LED lights! Hanging up festive lights is a great way to get into the holiday spirit.

Not only do they save you money, save energy and last longer, but LEDs contribute less to global warming, ecosystem damage, ecotoxicity, and landfill waste compared to incandescent and CFLs (compact fluorescent lights). Taking into account the manufacturing, transportation, lifetime usage, and disposal of LEDs, they are the best option when it comes to cost and environmental impact. Plus, when it comes to options, there is a broader range to choose from than other types of lights.

Tips

• Still have other types of lights? When they burn out, replace them with LEDs! No reason to create new stuff just yet if you are still getting good use out of what you currently have.

• Does the price of LEDs seem high compared to other options? Do not be fooled. Once the running costs and amount of time LEDs last are considered (usually measured in decades), it is not even close. It is an amazing modern technology.

• Check out the options online to see what options are available to get ideas. LEDs open up a whole new world of possibilities.
