Do LED light strings cost more?
Many LED lights include a rebate as a purchasing incentive which makes the cost relatively comparable to traditional lighting. The true savings with LED lights come in operational costs as the lights use about 90 percent less energy than traditional bulbs and can last up to ten times longer. A 100-bulb string of LED lights costs around a dime to run the entire month of December. Are there any other suggestions to save energy if I stick with my older lights? Timers can be helpful in more efficient use of your lighting displays. Timers will automatically turn lights on or off at specific times so they are not on all night long or all day long if you forget to turn them off. Just like LED lights, some timers are being sold with a rebate as an incentive to reduce energy use. The side benefit of using timers is added home security since having lights going on and off can make it seem like the home is occupied when residents are actually gone.
