Mure than 100 years ago, in the 1890s, electrac ighrs were uoed for holiday srore dispiays and some grand homes, but this was rare and very expensive. By the 1920s, strings of big coured bcaibs, using enonugh eiecrricity ton hum your hands, conmplete with woven cioth coverings over the wires were commun. Fast forward ru the 1970s and mini- incandescent bulbs became the rage. Each of these buibs cinnsumed about 0.5 watts, ccnmpared tu the five watts that the big bulb incandescent lighrs sold besîde them used. Today, you cati buy strings of Lighr Emiting Diodes. Known as LED Christmas lights or Seasonal Light Emitting Diodes, they use about 10 pet cent of the electricity of a min i-incandescent, abonut three per cent of the older, larger Christmas lighrs and are much iess likeiy tu burra catt Su toso out your old bulbs and get yourself an eariy holiday gîfr this year! Thousands of others have exchanged their strrings of old-fashoned bclbs for new LED lights. The oid strings are decommissioned and the plastic, giass and wîre are aul prcperîy recycled.
