			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You might be surprised by how much energy traditional incandescent Christmas lights use.  Many of the larger lights use about five watts per bulb. A string of a hundred Christmas lights can run 500 watts. If your lights are on for six hours per day for a month then that one strand may use 90 kilowatt-hours.  At 10 cents per watt, that strand will cost you $9.00 to run for one month.</p>
<p>Solar Christmas lights are more efficient than incandescents. They use light emitting diodes or LEDs.  This LED lighting uses a fraction of the electricity that traditional incandescent Christmas lights use. Because they require little energy, a strand of LEDs can be powered by a small solar panel and rechargeable batteries.  Your house guests will look in awe and wonderment at your unique mini  solar panels that illuminate your Christmas lights.</p>
<p>Solar powered lights are eco friendly.  Each kilowatt-hour of electricity produced by fossil fuels will generate up to 2.3 pounds of carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is a gas that creates a layer of insulation in the atmosphere. This means that light from the sun passes through the atmosphere easily on the way in.  However, the heat that would usually go back into space instead gets trapped and ends up warming up the planet. Scientists call this “global warming”.  By reducing carbon emissions, we can help find global warming solutions.  By using solar powered LED Christmas lights, you can help reduce our dependence on fossil fuel and save electricity. By replacing a strand of traditional incandescent Christmas lights with <a href="http://solarchristmaslightsadvisor.com/overview-of-solar-string-lights" target="_blank">solar string lights</a>, you are reducing the amount of carbon dioxide emissions by 207 pounds for the holiday season.</p>
<p>Finally, here are a few benefits of solar lights that you might not have considered. Since you will not need long extension cords, your chances of tripping on a cord and scraping your knee are low. In addition, traditional lights use household voltage, which is about 120 volts. If the cord is cut and you touch it while it is plugged in, you could die from shock.  With solar Christmas lights, the voltage is very low, as is the wattage, so you shouldn&#8217;t die.</p>
<p>Solar Christmas lights will help you save money on your electricity bill. They are good for the environment, and help eliminate one of the causes of global warming.  And they could even save your life!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Solar Christmas lights are strands of Christmas lights that are powered by the sun. Solar powered Christmas lights use Light Emitting Diodes, or LEDs, to provide the light, while the sun supplies the power; therefore, they are eco friendly, money saving decorations for the holiday season.  In this article we will focus on one style of solar LED Christmas lights, the LED rope light.</p>
<p>Solar LED rope lights are a fast growing trend when it comes to solar lighting. Solar rope lights  are created by wiring a number of LED bulbs together.  Then they are encased in clear plastic tubing which protects the wires and LEDs.  Because the electrical components are encased, there is little chance that the components can be affected by moisture. In addition, this rubber tubing allows for a certain amount of flexibility when installing the lights in or around your home.  Another benefit is that they are unlikely to become tangled.</p>
<p>These <a href="http://solarchristmaslightsadvisor.com/environmental-impacts-of-solar-christmas-lights" target="_blank">solar lights</a> are offered in a variety of colors.  They can be used to provide general lighting, or decorative lighting.  They can be used as outdoor solar lights.  For example, you can wrap your house so it looks like a giant gift wrapped Christmas present.  The lights can be used as solar patio lights.  And just think how pretty these Christmas lights would be as solar yard lights.  Your front yard trees could be wrapped in these, and your sprinkler heads as well.</p>
<p>These <a href="http://solarchristmaslightsadvisor.com/overview-of-solar-string-lights" target="_blank">solar powered lights</a> are an easy and fun way to decorate your home and garden for Christmas.  They are attractive and will attract your neighbors to their brilliance and beauty.  Cars full of passengers are sure to drive by your home and ogle over your decorations.  Ah, and perhaps the biggest benefit of all, solar LED rope lights can be a money saver and a money maker!  We know using solar rope lights is a money saver since it will help you save money on your electricity bill, but these solar string lights can also be money makers since you can earn some extra money by selling sugar cookies and hot cocoa to the hordes of admirers driving by your house!  I, personally, wasn&#8217;t going to decorate with solar rope lights this year, but now that I&#8217;ve convinced myself about the monetary upside potential of using these things, I&#8217;m off to my local store right now!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Happy Holidays!  It&#8217;s such an exciting time of year, and it can be even more so with the use of <a href="http://solarchristmaslightsadvisor.com/environmental-impacts-of-solar-christmas-lights" target="_blank">solar Christmas lights</a>.  Why even more exciting?  They are money saving solar lights, they are safe, versatile, use a renewable source of energy, and your use of them helps the earth.  Just by using solar Christmas lights you can achieve all of these things at the same time!</p>
<p>Solar powered lights are money saving because the sun provides a source of cheap electricity. In addition, the light&#8217;s typical life expectancy is approximately 100,000 hours.  Just think if you wanted to celebrate the season a little longer, you could keep these solar Christmas lights  wrapped around your trees until June!  Your neighbors would love it.</p>
<p>LED light bulbs are now used in most Christmas lights.  What are LEDs, and how do they help?  LED stands for Light Emitting Diode, which is used in an LED light bulb.  The bulb is similar to a traditional light bulb, but instead it is an electrical component which has been used for decades.</p>
<p>LED <a href="http://solarchristmaslightsadvisor.com/overview-of-solar-string-lights" target="_blank">solar string lights</a> are safer because the lights don&#8217;t get hot, and no electrical connection is required.  Maybe the best thing of all is that you don&#8217;t have to worry about making the evening news by accidentally burning down your beloved tree as a result of a faulty electrical connection.</p>
<p>LEDs not only come in a variety of colors &#8211; the most popular being white, amber, green, blue, and red &#8211; but LED light bulb technology has come so far that now the lights can change color!  Here&#8217;s an idea: if you put them on top of your chimney, they can act like a beacon for Santa.  You could be the first in town to have Santa scoot down your chimney.  Now that&#8217;s the way you want to make the evening news!</p>
<p>And get this for versatility!  Solar Christmas lights can be installed anywhere, like on a boat or a bike or, heck, I&#8217;ve even seen some gently decorating dogs.  You could put them in your garden and use them as solar powered garden lights, and really impress your friends with the multitude of colors in your garden both night and day.</p>
<p>Lastly, and most importantly, solar powered energy and LEDs help you to help the environment.   Solar powered lights use little energy and last a long time.</p>
<p>Enjoy the holidays with brightness and joy by using solar powered Christmas lights!</p>
