Since The Holidays Are Right Around The Corner: Eco Friendlier Lighting

Holy Cow!

I had no idea that the newer Holiday LED Lights were so great!!!!

They use a fraction of the energy of regular strings of lights and according to the info I found can last between 100,000 and 200,000 hours.

But this is the really cool part:

You can use up to 20 strings together on one circuit!!!!!! I am constantly shorting out strings of lights because I piggy back too many together so this is good news!

Other benefits?

Cool to the touch and the whole string stays lit even when a bulb is out so no more guessing at that!

Where to buy?

Bartell's!!!! I love Bartell Drug Stores! The recycle CFL bulbs for free starting this month and they sell these for $10-$15 for a string of 70 lights.

Go green for the holidays!!!!!

Another great way to be friendly to the environment is to only use holiday lights for limited hours. Hanging wreaths from tree trimmings is good way to use every bit of a tree.
