NStar Recommends LED Christmas Lights for Huge Energy Savings

Submitted by: jessa28  12/02/2008 10:10 AM
 
After reading an email from NStar about the energy costs of standard Christmas lights (1 single strand of lights running for 5 hours a day for 30 days adds $9.00 to your electric bill--and that is just for 1 strand!!) versus those of LED lights (1 single strand of LED lights running for the same amount of time as the standard lights amounts to $0.12 in electricity costs!!)So realized it was worth the investment to pay a little more up front for my Christmas lights to cash in on savings down the road. And LED lights last a lot longer than typical lights, so you won't be throwing them out at the end of the season.

I got mine on sale at Brookstone
for $7.99/string
