We have been installing the newly available LED lights for three years now and we and our clients love them.  The colors are so bright that they really stand out and get noticed compared to standard mini-lights.  These new LED lights not only stand out due to their brightness, they also stand out due to their energy efficiency.  Many homes only have one electrical circuit serving the entire exterior of the house.  If this is the case, LED lights are the answer to many electrical supply problems.  What we previously lit with mini-lights using three or four separate circuits now can be lit with one circuit using LED lights.

Some Quick LED Facts:

- LEDs were developed from semiconductor technologies in the 1970s. Today, highly efficient LED flashlights, holiday lights, traffic signals and exit signs are available.

- LEDs are constructed from tiny solid-state chips similar to those used in computers. These chips directly convert electricity to light without the use of a filament or glass bulb. Instead, the chips are encapsulated in solid plastic that are made into a variety of shapes and sizes.

- LED lights look different, appearing to shimmer because the bulbs are faceted.

- LED lights are much more energy efficient than standard incandescent lights, using 95% less energy.

- LEDs last up to 10 times longer (100,000 hrs).

- LEDs are safer, they don't heat up and wont dry out your tree.

- LED bulbs are made of plastic so there are no glass bulbs to break.

- Up to 125 strands of commercial quality LED's can be connected end-to-end without overloading a typical 15 amp household electrical circuit.

- LED lights come in many colors and costs vary by color, with blue and white being the most expensive and red being the least.  Although LED lights have a higher initial cost, the amount saved in energy costs outweighs the initial purchase price. When you compare the cost to purchase and operate the lights over five years (see chart below), the savings are clear.

News Flash:

Actual Study: Fall-Related Injuries during the Holiday Season, United States, 2000-2003

During the holiday season about 5,800 people, two to three every hour, were treated in emergency departments for fall-related injuries sustained while decorating during each of the 2000, 2001 and 2002 holiday seasons.

  • The majority of those injured in falls while decorating for the holidays (62%) were young and middle-age adults (20-49 years of age). In contrast, this age group comprises only 30% of people injured annually in falls.
  • Most holiday decorating-related falls were from ladders (43%), followed by falls from roofs, furniture (including step stools), stairs and porches.
  • Fractures were the most frequent holiday decorating-related injury (34%). Slightly more than half (51%) of the fractures were caused by falls from ladders.
