Light Emitting Diode or LED’s have a number of benefits over conventional lighting:
LED lights are very energy-efficient and can reduce your energy costs—particularly when the lights are used for long periods of time, such as in commercial settings. Christmas lights can be both bright and energy-efficient and can often replace the need for regular porch or yard lighting over the holiday season. Despite a higher initial cost, LEDs are a clear winner over incandescent C7 or C9 lights when you compare the cost to purchase and operate a system for several years (and beyond).
LED lights use a solid-state semiconductor to convert electricity directly into light. LED lights use less than one-tenth of a watt, produce virtually no heat and have an extremely long service life -- up to 100,000 hours in some cases. The color of the light is determined by the chemical makeup of the bulb, with red, green, blue, white and yellow currently available. The color also determines its cost, with white and blue LED’s being the most costly.
Most folks have been happy with the latest generation of LED lights. The larger lenses make them brighter and they have almost no impact on your electric bill. Folks who leave their lights up year-round are seeing some failures. Seasonal products are not meant to be left in place all year. Exposure to ultraviolet light and the elements can weaken the wiring and shorten the life of the product.
Benefits:
Energy-efficiency
- 0.08 watts per LED C7 bulb; (compared with 0.48 watts for an incandescent mini lights and 6.0 watts for a standard incandescent C7 bulb)
- Reduce energy consumption by as much as 90% compared to traditional lights
Long Life Span
- Produces a more durable light than can burn brightly for over 60,000 hours, (over 10 years of continuous use)
- Last up to 7 times longer
Safety
- Uses a light that produces almost no heat, thereby reducing fire damage
- There is no chance of combustion from the cool temperature bulbs
Sturdy Bulbs
- The epoxy lenses are virtually indestructible
- They are more durable, with no filaments or glass bulbs to break
Easily Strung
- Up to 20 strings can be connected end-to-end without overloading a typical household’s electrical circuit
Lamp Replacement
- If a bulb does burn out, the other bulbs will stay lit, so you can easily replace the bad bulb.
They do cost slightly more than conventional lights, but may more than pay for themselves within a single season.
