Make sure that your Christmas Lights last the whole of the holiday season and not be chasing around the house for that spare bulb like always.

LED Christmas lights are a little bit more expensive than traditional Christmas lights, but there are many good reasons for this.

Here are six reasons why you should make the savvy switch to LED this Christmas:

#1 – LED lights save you money

LED lights burn up a lot less energy but emit the same amount of light, so your utility bills will be a lot less and there will be more to spend on your presents (especially if they are for you). They also last a lot longer (up to 15 times longer in fact) so you’ll need to change them much less frequently.

#2 – LEDs are Eco-friendly and kinder to the environment

Because LED lights consume less energy, they have less effect on the environment. They also last a lot longer than traditional lighting, so there’s less unwanted raw materials.

#3 – LEDs are cooler to touch

LED Christmas lights emit little heat, because most of the energy is turned into light, which makes them safer to touch (deliberately or accidentally!). Great when you have little fingers that try to get into everything which is new and pretty to look at.

#4 – Choice of colours

LED lights are available in a variety of colours, from warm white to cool white to multi-coloured – so you can take your Christmas parties to the next level.

#5 – LEDs last for years

Old-style Christmas lighting has the capacity to burst and blow, leaving your Christmas tree looking a bit dull and usually by the 6^th Jan Christmas tree lights have stopped working. LED lighting is extremely robust and made to last a lot longer, so you can enjoy vibrant festive lighting for years to come.

#6 – Smart options

The most recent innovation in LED technology is ‘smart lighting’. Smart lighting allows you to change the colour of your lights within a huge range of over 16 million colours.

You can also pre-programme light scenes for particular moods, synchronise your lights with what you’re watching on TV (or anything else in the room for that matter), set them to come on at particular times of day or when certain conditions are met (such as arriving home from work); and you can do all of this from an app within your smartphone.
