I had never thought about using rope lighting for Christmas before until I realized the savings you could potentially have with them. Face it, most of us are going to have decked out houses for Christmas…but then we will have to face the electric bills in January.

I have previously written about saving money by using solar lights and CFLs so why not pass on that same money saving advice when using Christmas lights.

According to the sellers this lighting consumes only about .47 watts per foot so you can immediately start to calculate how much cheaper it would be to run the LED Christmas lights, as opposed to the traditional lighting.

Traditional lighting consumes about 6 watts per foot, which is about 12 times what the LED lights use. Convert that to the price you pay for electricity and you can figure out the cost for yourself.

These lights last a long time, about 50,000 hours and since they generate a small amount of heat they are generally thought to be safer than traditional lights. Deck your halls this Christmas and save some money on the electric bill in the spring.
