Using LED Lights As Commercial Christmas Decorations

By Marcie Goodman


In the last 150 years, the Christmas tree has barely changed. The commercial Christmas decorations have only evolved from candles to LED lights. There is no doubting the fact that lights on the tree brings joy and lights up moods during the festivities. However, at the end of the season, homes were littered with ashes and cinders due to the use of candles and the falling dry Christmas tree leaves. This has now changed with the technological development.

At the beginning of the twentieth century, people began to look for replacements for the ordinary candle, and the incandescent light was introduced. This light was thought of as amazing, cheap and very safe to use. However, technology soon produced the LED light, and this proved to be even more versatile and effective, even if it was a bit more costly. LED lights have many advantages over candles and incandescent lights.

They have enormous energy saving capabilities. Since they generate their light differently from the incandescent light, LEDs take up very little energy. They use diodes to emit light energy but the incandescent sets a filament aglow hence using a lot of power. Conversion from the old to new technology causes a 90% reduction in energy consumption, a great way to go green for Christmas.

LED lights are also not difficult to set up. In general, only a few power sources are needed, and you will find that a limited number of extension cords are required. Many LED lights strung together will still not use much power at all. Incandescent lights may need more power points.

The safety aspect of LED lights are what makes them very special as well. For example, even if they have been on for a long period of time, they cannot burn you if you touch them, as they do not create a lot of heat. They provide light and not warmth, and therefore cannot burn you. This makes them different from other kinds of lighting.

Another benefit of LED lights is that they are long-lasting. On average, they are said to be possibly used for between twenty-five and seventy-five thousand hours, which is a really long time. You also won't need to change bulbs or provide any further maintenance. They won't last forever, but they will certainly serve you for many Christmases.

One can get incandescent lights of many colors on the outer glass but with LED, they create the variety of lights in one bulb. The diodes are made to emit lights in a desired wavelength hence the color we see. These are pure quality colors compared to the secondary ones we make the incandescent light bulbs give.

The amount of money that someone spends on commercial Christmas decorations will vary from individual to individual, however, most people do prefer to buy products of a higher quality that will last for several years. The stores often have a good selection of items, ranging from cheaper to much more expensive. Try to find lights and other decorations at a good price, but ones that will serve you for a decent length of time.
