Get it? LED vs led. Of course you do, and that’s exactly our point.
It seems the Joneses are all getting those brightly colored LED
(Light Emitting Diode) lights to decorate their home. Maybe
you’ve seen them and have wondered why these LED lights
seem to be everywhere. We have your answer.

There are several good reasons why more and more LED lights
will be lining the rooftops, bushes and trees of houses in your
neighborhood. Turns out, those bright beacons of multicolored
light are up to 90% more energy efficient (or “greener”) and
are therefore a much safer way to decorate for the holidays.
That’s because the more efficient a bulb is, the less heat it
produces, so a more efficient bulb is a safer bulb (fire safety).
Oddly enough, the more LED lights that go up near you, the fewer
sirens and flashing lights you’ll witness in your neighborhood
(due to electric Christmas décor fires). And while we’re on it,
you might notice that many of today’s police and other emergency
response vehicles are using the same LED lights because
LED lights are so incredibly bright.

While LED lights for Christmas decorations have only been out for a
few years, it’s only been recently that the price tag has been right for
the average American household. Having said that, the LED lights
are still a little pricier than the incumbent filament bulb style. But
the LED bulb not only outshines its competition, it far outlives
traditional filament bulbs too. The life of LED holiday lights seems
to be up for debate because they last so long; 20 years by some
estimations, if they’re only used once a year for a month.

So now you can start to see why Lowder New Homes would
encourage you to consider switching your bright-light stash over
to LED. It will make a difference on your energy bill if you’re one of
those families who uses thousands of lights for a month or two. And
even if you only plan on a few strands here and there, the fire safety
is well worth the investment.

So string up those lights however you like. We just hope you’ll
remember these facts if you feel LED to decorate your home.

Merry Christmas from Lowder New Homes
