Decorating for the holidays is a tradition for many families. However, it can be difficult to find lights that are long-lasting and easy on the electric bill. Buying more energy-efficient decorations will keep your home festive and your wallet happy. Here are a few things to consider.
Buy LED and Energy-Efficient Lights
There are a multitude of options when it comes to holiday lights, and it can seem ridiculous to attempt to differentiate between the all. However, purchasing quality lights will ensure that they’ll last for years, have a lower risk of fire hazard and be more energy efficient. LED lights are longer lasting than traditional options. There are also energy-efficient holiday light options, as well. Be sure to read the information on each product to choose the most energy efficient lights for your home.
Get Creative
Lights aren’t the only decorating option. Make homemade wreaths, wood cutouts or hang large ornaments from tree limbs for a fun, creative spin on holiday decorations. Use Pinterest or Google for ideas, or create your own!
Use Candles
Candles provide a warm, cozy glow that perfectly represents the holiday season. Instead of turning on the lights right as the sun goes down, light some candles near the window to give a holiday glow to your home. However, be sure to follow safety practices when using candles, and never leave them lit when out of the house.
