Knowing absolutely nothing about watts, transformers, or circuit overloads, this whole LED Christmas light thing makes a little bit of sense!
Did you know that LED Christmas lights can REALLY save you up to 90% of energy? I didn't believe it until one of our recent Home and Garden Market Shows at Dallas Market Hall in Dallas, Texas. While we did have our standard large hardscape exhibit, we also had a small Holiday Lights set up across the aisle.
On display, we put 8 strands of LED lights on our wire racking to show the different colors and styles. On the other side of the rack, we put 3 strands of your standard traditional mini-lights and a few larger C-9 bulb lights. Inline with both strands was their individual watt meter that you could actually put the cost per watt hour and see how much money you were spending.
We put up the display and plugged in the lights at 12:00 Noon on Friday. At the end of the show on Friday, which was 8:00pm, we had spent around .10 cents with the traditional lights and a whopping .009 cents with the LED Christmas Lights. By the shows end on 6:00pm Sunday evening we had spent about $10.00 on the traditional lights and were coming up on $0.99 cents on the LED's. I just couldn't believe it.
We now have the displays set up and we have all of our lights in stock. While we do have the traditional mini-lights as well as the C-9 bulb lights and strands, we also stock the LED lights very heavily. Come check out the lights and see the savings for yourself!
We are also having classes on professional installation coming soon, so be sure to check out our website!
