LED Christmas Lighting
LED's are becoming popular for seasonal displays. Light, sky blues denote environmentally friendly and peaceful themes. Hang these lights to celebrate other holidays as well such as Easter and Earth Day. These lighter shades of blue also convey images of crystals, ice and snow; perfect for winter and Christmas. Decorate the outside landscape, windows, and make your Christmas tree glow. Your home will really stand out and shine during the holidays. Combine your blue LED lights with red and white for a patriotic scene. Hang them up together or even design flags for the 4th of July and Memorial Day celebrations. Blue LED Christmas lights are not just for Christmas anymore!
LED lights can be utilized in an endless number of ways. In or outside the home, one can always find a practical use for them. Blue is considered a relaxing color. It can be strong and steadfast or light and pleasant. The cool, calming effect of this natural color makes time pass more quickly and can help you sleep. String up some blue LED lights around the bedroom to help you rest at night.
Why choose blue LED lights over standard lights? LED stands for "light emitting diode". They are increasingly popular for many reasons. The bulbs last longer. The average life of a white bulb is 60,000 hours, while colored bulbs average 100,000 hours. They simply won’t need to be replaced as often. They can last up to 200,000 hours while conventional bulbs last 1,000 to 2,000 hours.LED lights are extremely durable. While LED lights will still be going strong after 4,000 hours, regular lights will have burned out a bulb or two in less than half that time. This is because LED lights are made of a special plastic with no filament. There are no glass bulbs to break or flake, and weatherproof materials make them impervious to moisture. They use from 80-90% less electricity than conventional lights so they are much less expensive to run, yet provide the same beautiful, radiant illumination. For a typical household, this will mean a cost savings of $20.00 or more during the standard 30 day holiday season.
One of the greatest benefits of LED lights is that they are safer. They burn brighter, but remain cool to the touch, increasing temperature by only 1 degree. This feature can greatly reduce the risk of fire. According to the US Fire Administration, using the latest 3 years of data, the yearly estimated fire loss for December 24, 25, 26 is estimated at over $80 million. Each year, these losses result from an estimated 11,600 fires that required a fire department response. These fires cause an annual average of approximately 250 injuries and 40 fatalities.
LED lights are UL and Energy Star Approved, and unlike traditional incandescent bulbs, if a single LED goes out, it doesn't affect the others. With so many advantages, it’s easy to choose.
