UK households could save £14m on energy costs this Christmas by swithcing to LED fairy lights.

Nov. 16, 2007 - PRLog -- Everyone has a part to play in reducing carbon emissions, so this year have fun at Christmas and save the environment, by using new energy efficient LED fairy lights.

LED Christmas lights use up to 90% less energy, last up to ten times longer than traditional fairy lights and generate virtually no heat.    

Traditional incandescent bulbs waste up to 90% of energy as heat.  LED bulbs are circuits, not bulbs, which efficiently convert energy into light with minimal wastage.

The Energy Saving Trust is urging households to "think a little greener" this festive season after new figures estimated decorative tree lights could use as much energy as 5,500 FA Cup finals and enough carbon dioxide (CO2) to fill over 15,500 hot air balloons.  An extravagant festive display could add a staggering £75 to your electricity bill, the equivalent of six weeks normal usage.

Lights4fun has pioneered a range of virtually indestructible, high quality, outdoor LED fairy lights.  Each 100 bulb set consumes as little as 5.2 watts of power and will safely extend up to 50 sets.  With these connectable LED’s expect long life, low running costs (see below) and durable lighting that the British weather cannot damage.”  

Tim Naughton, Managing Director of Lights4fun Ltd advises  “People don’t seem to appreciate how much energy could be saved by the use of LED fairy lights.  LED lights not only last longer, look brighter and more vibrant than traditional fairy lights, but also they stay cool to the touch which makes them an ideal choice around decorations and fabrics”
