Each year, many people put up Christmas house lights. Because of this, the month of December sees the highest electricity bills than any other month for families of average size. This is because people do not know how to properly set up or turn on their Christmas house lights in a way that is efficient. Here are a few things that you can do to save a little money with your Christmas house lights.
Switch to LED-LED are a brighter light that are longer lasting and use less energy. The less energy that you are using the more money you can be saving. This is not something that many people think of when putting up their Christmas house lights. LED lights come in all the traditional Christmas colors as an old-fashioned strand of lights do. They may be a little more expensive for the original purchase, but since they last longer than an average Christmas light, you will not have to replace them as often, which will save you money in the end.
Wait Until Dark-One of the biggest mistakes that people make with their Christmas house lights is that they leave them on all night long and all day long. There is no purpose in doing this. During the daytime, the natural sunlight is too bright to see the Christmas lights; therefore, you are wasting electricity by leaving them on all day. On the other hand, most people are in their homes for the night after 9PM. Keeping your lights on all night long is just running up the bill and annoying the neighbors. Putting your lights on a timer so that they automatically turn on and off at a predetermined time will help you save a lot of money on your Christmas house lights.
Minimal Lights-Although beautiful to look at, it really is not necessary to cover every inch of your roof with Christmas house lights, making your home look like an airport runway. A few strands along the front of the house and a few light up Christmas decorations in the yard is more than sufficient to show your Christmas spirit. By minimizing the lights you put out you can save yourself a lot of money.

Is led lights the same as Christmas lights?
The answer is that they are not necessarily the same. LED lights can be Christmas Lights, but not all Christmas Lights are LED Christmas Lights. LED or Light Emitting Diodes are the type of light source used not a general type of light. LED lights can be used for Street Lights, Flood Lights, Rope Lights, standard household lights or Christmas Lights. Just about any light out there now comes in an LED version. Using LED lights are a great way to save on power consumption. They generally use 90% less power than standard incandescent bulbs. Your typical Christmas Light is generally an incandescent light unless it specifically says it is and LED version. LED Christmas Lights do use less power but usually cost a lot more than standard incandescent Christmas Lights. Many Christmas Light retailers have more information on their websites regarding LED versus incandescent Christmas Lights that would probably be helpful to look at before purchasing any type of Christmas light to make sure you are getting just what you want.
