Thanksgiving and Black Friday marked the official start of the holiday season. In the days since, you can’t help but notice all the cars on the road with Christmas trees strapped to their roofs. Everyone’s in high decorating mode setting up Holiday lighting displays. Like the Griswold’s in the movie “Christmas Vacation”, everyone wants to have the most admired house in the neighborhood!
However, if you don’t take precautions, those holiday lights can cost you plenty. Some people see an increase of as much as 40% in their electric bill during the holidays.
By switching to Discount Power, you automatically save money on your electric bill (as much as 10%). However, we have a few tips to help you save even more without having to turn into the Grinch.
For starters, if you haven’t done so already, ditch the old school incandescent holidays lights and invest in some LED lights. It makes a big difference. Looking at the box of regular incandescent lights, they use 40.8 watts per 100 light strand (0.0408 kW). The 100-light strand of LEDs used 8 watts (0.008 kW).
There are also solar-powered LED light kits, but from the package they use less than 3 watts of energy, which means they are significantly dimmer. Also, consider how long you intend to leave the lights on. Most people have their house decorated from Thanksgiving to New Years (about 45 days). By cutting back the amount of time you leave the lights on, you can also save big. Perhaps the easiest way to do that is to put your lights on a timer.
Finally, another way to achieve the festive look is to use colored Halogen floodlights. The light they give off is more intense and uses less energy.
