LED Lights

Sticking with the theme of the cost saving and long lasting LED lights, we have discovered another exciting Christmas lights trend that will capture your imagination with absolutely unlimited potential. While these Christmas lights may not look remotely beautiful or compelling all wrapped up in one enormous 330-foot bundle – yup, I really mean three hundred and thirty feet – these clip lights are the ones responsible for creating this outstanding and awe-inspiring vista captured in this picture, and are sure to become a popular Christmas lights trend.

Now, before you dismiss this idea as being too big for your home, try to take a few minutes to imagine what you could do with these Christmas lights. Of course, a single tree bedecked, from the base of the trunk to the tip of it’s branches, with magical sparkles is hard to beat, but there are also many other possibilities. You could wrap your entire roof with these lights to make a sparkling landing pad for Santa! You could even use these for double purpose as LED garden lighting once the snow leaves. If after giving these lights some serious imagination, you still feel that the lights in this picture are a little long for your needs there are other lengths are available.

Admittedly these Christmas lights are a bit pricey, at $957.00 per 330 feet. You would need to think of these lights as a Christmas tradition investment that your family could enjoy for years to come. These lights can be purchased at CSN stores.

Solar Lights

Solar Christmas lights might not actually save you enough money to be equal the cost of paying for the lights in the first place. However, if you cotton to the idea of decorating your house without having to run messy and ugly extension cords all over the place and more importantly are keen to protect the environment, then these Solar powered Christmas lights may just be the answer for you.

These days there are a number of styles to choose from. You can find almost as much variety with solar-powered Christmas lights as with the traditional Christmas lights or the more recent LED Christmas lights. You can choose from the coloured or white strands of bulbs, or maybe go with the fun icicle-style lights.

A 144" long strand of solar Christmas lights features 24 white long-lasting LED bulbs with rechargeable battery lights. Small and non-obvious photo sensors will turn the lights on at dusk and off at dawn. Although you must be certain that the sensors are not covered in snow during the day light hours.

Whatever Christmas lighting options you might choose this season, whether it's solar lights, led lights or just old fashioned Christmas lights, please have a happy and safe holiday.
