“Green” Christmas Lights
The new LED Christmas lights save both energy and money. You will see up to an 80% savings in your electric bill by using LED lights as apposed to incandescent lights. This year’s Christmas lights have small rectifiers built in at the end of each string. This is different that previous LED lights where the rectification was housed in an adapter for multiple strings of lights. That means that this years model is brighter than previous LED lights.
How Many Feet of Lights Do I Need
Different lights (companies) make their strings different lengths. So, be sure to check the Christmas light box to see how long they are before figuring the amount you will need for your tree.
4 foot tree needs 57 feet of lights
5 foot tree needs 80 feet of lights
6 foot tree needs 105 feet of lights
7 foot tree needs 132 feet of lights
8 foot tree needs 161 feet of lights
9 foot tree needs 192 feet of lights
10 foot tree needs 225 feet of lights
