Christmas lights, using LEDs instead of traditional incandescent bulbs, are increasing in popularity as consumers are becoming more aware of their benefits. Recently, blinking LED Christmas lights have become one of the newest trends for lighting up the holiday season. LEDs offer several advantages to conventional incandescent lights.
Blinking LED Christmas Lights
Blinking, flashing and chasing lights have been a favorite at Christmas time for many, many years. Unlike conventional lights, blinking LED Christmas lights do not have a shorter life span than non-blinking LED lights. The continuous turning on and off of an incandescent bulb requires bursts of energy that reduces the overall life span of the product. Blinking LED Christmas lights use a consistent amount of energy and the blinking does not wear out the light bulb any faster.
Durability of Blinking LED Christmas Lights
LED Christmas lights are also designed to be durable. Conventional lights contain a fragile tungsten filament which, when broken, renders the bulb useless. Blinking LED Christmas lights also do not have a filament, nor are they made with the glass bulb covers that many conventional lights have. Tests show that traditional Christmas lights will often burn out before 2000 hours of use, whereas LED Christmas lights will easily extend over 100,000 hours.
Blinking LEDs Cost Less in the Long Run
Although the initial cost of Blinking LED Christmas lights is slightly more than the conventional alternative, they have been proven to save money over time. Not only does their durability mean you'll have to replace them less often, they cost considerably less to operate than traditional lights. Consider this - one of these incandescent Christmas light bulbs will use the same amount of energy as an entire strand of LED lights. Multiply this by a houseful of lights and the savings really adds up. And blinking incandescent lights require more electric than lights that stay lit. LED technology does not have this problem.
Reduced Risk of Fire with LED lights
Hundreds of Christmas tree fires destroy homes and take lives every year. The combination of a dry Christmas tree and hot incandescent lights is a recipe for disaster over the holidays, but one that is easily avoided with the use of LED lights. Blinking LED Christmas lights stay cool to the touch, and are far less likely to cause a fire. Because they are cool to the touch, it is almost impossible to get burned! Unlike conventional lights, several strands of LED lights can be attached together safely, without overheating or causing an electrical fire.
LED Technology is Eco-Friendly
Light up the tree and save the planet at the same time! Since LED Christmas lights are considerably more efficient than incandescent bulbs, you'll not only save money but reduce your familys carbon footprint. Currently, LED lights are the most environmentally friendly choice for your Christmas tree or home. Compared to incandescent lights, LED Christmas lights use far less energy. Their longer lifespan also means that fewer of them will end up in polluting our landfills.
These are some of the many reasons that blinking LED Christmas lights are increasing in popularity, and why fewer incandescent lights are being sold each year. Add some of these lovely LED Christmas lights to your decorations this holiday season and they'll save money, last longer, and work infinitely better than incandescent lights.
