LED Christmas Lights Running Costs 2023
As we said in our blog post last year, LED lights are the most energy efficient way to light up your tree and home.
In addition to their already cost saving properties you can save more money by making sure you use the built in timer to switch the lights on and off so they are only in use when required. Example running costs below.
