We all know you want to emulate Clark W. Griswold's family home during the holiday season. With the new LED lights, you actually can afford to do it...LEDs use only 10% of the electricity required to power traditional incandescent. LEDs are constructed from tiny solid-state chips similar to those used in computers. These chips directly convert electricity to light without the use of a filament or glass bulb. (Standard incandescent bulbs create light by transmitting electricity through a resistant filament which creates heat. A bi-product of the heat created is light.) LED lights encapsulate solid-state chips in solid epoxy plastic that can be made into a variety of shapes and sizes.
One of the great things about the LED lights is the safety factor. These lamps are nearly indestructible - high-quality LED lights can withstand the force of a tractor trailer without breaking. The lamps also remain cool to the touch. Because holiday lighting is often used in close proximately to combustible materials (dry evergreen trees) this feature can greatly reduce the risk of holiday fires. You ever have a bulb burn out, only to spend the next three hours searching for the culprit? Three words for you: solid state reliability. No longer will you have to worry about one lamp ruining your whole string.
