With the Christmas season being over it looks as if I will be taking down the christmas lights. I heard from some of my neighbors that they purchased LED rope lights this year. They told me all about the benefits of LED lights, like how they consume very little energy and that the LED lights can last for more than 50,000 hours - that’s 5.5 years for 24 hours a day! They also generate very little heat, causing them to be much safer.

LED rope lights can be used for all sorts of decorating, whether it’s seasonal or full-time - step lighting, handrails, patios, dorm rooms, Christmas parties, you name it. Light ropes don’t get tangled like strings of bulbs and the lower energy costs will even make Scrooges smile. That’s because these LED lights burn about .5 to 1.0 watts per foot compared to 6 or 7 watts from incandescents. You can have bright decorations and still be safe and responsible.
