LED lights offer benefits in terms of safety, sustainability and value whether used indoors or outdoors. This year might be the one to start replacing old burned out strands with LEDs. Here’s why:
• Safety: LED lights do not get hot like conventional lights to create fire hazard or scorch plants.
• Fewer outlets required: You can literally string 120 strands of LEDS end to end and plug the whole line into one extension cord connected to one power outlet.
• Less power: LEDs use about 75 percent less power than conventional holiday lights.
• Longer life: LEDs last four to five times longer than conventional lights.
• Sustainable facts: You will pay a little more up front, but the cost will be recovered in lower energy costs and fewer replacements. You’ll also be using less total material over a longer time frame.
That is why natural holiday decor is the sustainable option.
