One of the most popular decorations for the coming holiday season are the lights. Christmas lights trim houses, inside windows and both indoor and outdoor trees. Such a large scale use of lighting for decoration puts a major strain on local power grids and electrical bills rise all over the nation.

The best way to save energy in lighting is to start by using only LEDs.  Light-emitting diode (LED) decoration lights use base computer chip technology. LEDs on average are up to 90% more efficient in lighting than standard Christmas lights because they are built to create energy from a semiconducting material rather than a filament. The lifespan of one LED is around 50,000 hours which makes them a cost effective choice and when one bulb does burn out the rest of the lights in the decoration string do not shut down.
