Lighting, low power

Electrical costs are going higher every year. Most of us want to control those costs as best we can. This being Christmas time there is a low cost way to provide good ambient lighting at low cost that also is decorative. The solution we use are LED Christmas tree lights. They give a festive air to whatever room you make use of them in. the light can be concentrated by rolling the string of lights up into a ball and this makes it so that you can read quite well. Another way to use the string LED lights is to outline the doors between rooms and up the stairs to light your pathway. We normally use the white lights, however for general lighting you can use whatever color you would like to. The lights come in a few configurations, steady on, blinking – slow to fast, blinking in several patterns too. If you want to they can be used for signaling as well. The 2 power sources that they come in are 110 plug in and battery operated. The battery operated ones are good for camping, mobile applications and during emergency situations. The ones that are 110 can be powered by 12 volt automotive batteries via a power inverter. The power draw of LED lights is very low so a set of batteries will last an extremely long time.

The best time to get which ever lights you want at a good [cheap] price is Christmas day or the day[s] right after Christmas as the stores generally put them on for half price.
