LED Christmas Holiday Lights

Make light emitting diode (LED) lights a smart, new tradition to your Christmas holiday decorating.

• Seasonal LED lights use up to 90 per cent less electricity and last up to 10 times longer than traditional incandescent holiday lights.
• LED lights may initially cost more than conventional light strings, however they will pay for themselves within one season or two (depending on how often they are used) through reduced energy consumption and bulb replacement.
• LED lights are more durable.
• They are shatterproof and shock resistant.
• Due to the fact that they produce very little heat, seasonal LED lights reduce the risk of fire.
• LED lights come in a variety of sizes and shapes such as strawberry, raspberry, mini lights and rope lighting.
• Choose colours from red, green, gold, blue, clear and multi, and strings of 25, 35, 70 or 100 lights.

The amount of electricity consumed by a single 7-watt incandescent bulb could power 140 LED bulbs — enough to fill two 24-foot strings.

Tip: to ensure quality and durability, look for a brand offering a warranty of 3 years or more when purchasing seasonal LED lights.
