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.

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 solar string lights, you are reducing the amount of carbon dioxide emissions by 207 pounds for the holiday season.

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’t die.

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!

Solar powered lights are money saving because the sun provides a source of cheap electricity. In addition, the light’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.

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.

LED solar string lights are safer because the lights don’t get hot, and no electrical connection is required. Maybe the best thing of all is that you don’t have to worry about making the evening news by accidentally burning down your beloved tree as a result of a faulty electrical connection.

LEDs not only come in a variety of colors – the most popular being white, amber, green, blue, and red – but LED light bulb technology has come so far that now the lights can change color! Here’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’s the way you want to make the evening news!

And get this for versatility! Solar Christmas lights can be installed anywhere, like on a boat or a bike or, heck, I’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.

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.

Enjoy the holidays with brightness and joy by using solar powered Christmas lights!
