Easy Tips
Buy LEDs
They are more expensive up front, but you’ll save on energy costs in the future. Plus, they don’t radiate heat like incandescent bulbs, making them safer to people and other potentially combustible decorations.
Use automatic timers
Use automatic timers to ensure you’re running the lights or inflatables for a defined time period each day – fewer hours means less energy used.
Use extension cords
Instead of using light strings to add length to your display, utilize extension cords in less visible areas
Be creative
Supplement your holiday displays with ornaments such as wreaths, ribbons and other decorations that don't consume energy.
