about 1\/10th the electricity traditional incandescent lights do. Switching can yield significant savings over the course of the holiday season.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re considering upgrading to LED Christmas lights, you might be curious how much the change saves you. Here\u2019s the difference between the two lighting types over the course of a holiday season.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Heres_How_Much_Electricity_Christmas_Lights_Use\"><\/span>Here\u2019s How Much Electricity Christmas Lights Use<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As you would expect, there is a significant difference in the cost of running traditional and incandescent and LED Christmas lights\u2014not unlike the big difference between using traditional incandescent bulbs in your home and LED bulbs. Let\u2019s look at how much energy each type uses.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Traditional_Incandescent_Bulbs\"><\/span>Traditional Incandescent Bulbs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Traditional Christmas lights are little incandescent bulbs. They come in two major flavors. \u201cMini\u201d Christmas lights are the type with tiny little cylindrical bulbs that look like tiny fairy-sized glass candles. Each little bulb on a mini strand uses 0.43W of electricity.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product-box  \">\n<div class=\"product-img product-img-noaward\">\n<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\" role=\"presentation\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Christmas-Incandescent-Birthday-Festival-Decoration\/dp\/B07H7D8YH3?tag=lsmedia-11649-20\" onclick=\"fbq('track', 'Buy Button'); if (fb_t_convert){fb_t_convert();}\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/51BsDW25CzS._SL160_.jpg\" height=\"147px\" width=\"147px\" alt=\"\" role=\"presentation\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The larger and more bulbous Christmas lights are C7 and C9 bulbs. C7 bulbs are about an inch and a half long, have an E12 base, and use 4-5W of energy per bulb.

Because of their increased size, C9 is a much more popular size for Christmas lights as the lights stand out better at a distance than their smaller cousins.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"LED_Bulbs\"><\/span>LED Bulbs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>You can find LED Christmas lights in the same configuration as traditional lights, just with the incandescent filament sw<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ed out for an LED bulb.<\/p>\n<p>As a <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a> rule, you\u2019ll find that LED lights consume 1\/10th of the power of their incandescent counterparts. Just like a 75W-equivalent LED light bulb uses about 7.5W of power, the power consumption of the much smaller Christmas lights is scaled back similarly.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product-box  \">\n<div class=\"product-img product-img-noaward\">\n<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\" role=\"presentation\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/PHILIPS-White-Faceted-Light-String\/dp\/B086VR3BZ7?tag=lsmedia-11649-20\" onclick=\"fbq('track', 'Buy Button'); if (fb_t_convert){fb_t_convert();}\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/412i1L4P4rL._SL160_.jpg\" height=\"147px\" width=\"147px\" alt=\"\" role=\"presentation\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>So with that in mind, you can expect that LED mini Christmas lights will consume about 0.05W per bulb (whether the bulb has a traditional long cylindrical shape or is just a little button shape doesn\u2019t matter in terms of power consumption).<\/p>\n<div class=\"product-box  \">\n<div class=\"product-img product-img-noaward\">\n<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" aria-hidden=\"true\" tabindex=\"-1\" role=\"presentation\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/AWQ-Waterproof-Extendable-Decoration-Multicolor\/dp\/B08B5SG5GH?tag=lsmedia-11649-20\" onclick=\"fbq('track', 'Buy Button'); if (fb_t_convert){fb_t_convert();}\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/61L5MS+3hXL._SL160_.jpg\" height=\"147px\" width=\"147px\" alt=\"\" role=\"presentation\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"product-title \">\n<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Shop for LED 100-Bulb 65-foot Strands\" aria-label=\"Shop for LED 100-Bulb 65-foot Strands\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/AWQ-Waterproof-Extendable-Decoration-Multicolor\/dp\/B08B5SG5GH?tag=lsmedia-11649-20\" onclick=\"fbq('track', 'Buy Button'); if (fb_t_convert){fb_t_convert();}\"><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"LED_100-Bulb_65-foot_Strands\"><\/span>LED 100-Bulb 65-foot Strands<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"product-features\">LEDs make C9 bulb strands more economical by lowering the operating cost and allowing for more bulbs per strand.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>C7 and C9 bulbs\u2019 power consumption is slightly higher, but only marginally so. You can expect the new bulbs to consume about 0.2W per bulb. There is little difference between the two sizes when dealing with LEDs than the shape of the bulb\u2014the LED component is typically identical.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Comparing_the_Two_Side-by-Side\"><\/span>Comparing the Two Side-by-Side<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The different kinds of bulbs and their power consumption outlined, let\u2019s put all the bulbs (and the traditional size strands and fixtures you\u2019d find them on) side by side. This will let you easily compare the kind of strand you have against the kind of strand you\u2019re considering.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re using the national average of 0.12 cents per kWh for our estimated hourly operational cost. Our daily cost is based on the assumption that you\u2019ll be operating the lights for 6 hours per day (from 6 PM to midnight is a pretty common window for holiday lights).<\/p>\n<p>Our seasonal cost is based on the assumption that you run your holiday lights for 45 days\u2014from around Thanksgiving to the first week of January, as many people traditionally do.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve left the hourly cost unrounded because the numbers are so small, but for the sake of readability and easy comparison, we\u2019ve rounded the seasonal cost to the nearest penny.<\/p>\n<div class=\"moka-mce-table-wrap\">\n<table class=\"moka-mce-table-styling\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse;

But it\u2019s hard to visualize exactly how much money without tallying up how many strands you use per season.<\/p>\n<p>While you\u2019ll have to crunch the numbers for your home to see your potential savings, I\u2019ll run through the cost savings using my home as an example. Your lighting might be more subdued or extravagant than mine\u2014or even permanently installed\u2014but you\u2019ll get the idea.<\/p>\n<p>One way to speed up your calculations is to tally up the watts and then convert it to the cost-per-hour (instead of fussing with the individual strand operating costs seen in the table above, like $0.021 per hour). When dealing with a bunch of different items, it\u2019s just faster to add up the watts per hour for the whole pool and then calculate the cost.<\/p>\n<p>We detail how to calculate your power usage in our guide to measuring your energy use, but here\u2019s the relevant crash course.<\/p>\n<p>Once you total up all the watts, multiply that by the number of hours you plan on running the setup. If you\u2019re planning to run it for 6 hours a day for 45 days, that\u2019s 270 hours. That\u2019ll give you the watt-hours<\/p>\n<p>Then divide by 1000 to convert the watt hours to kilowatt hours (which is what your power company bills you in). And then, simply multiply that by the cost you pay per kWh, such as $0.12. Here\u2019s a sample equation using those variables:<\/p>\n<p><code>(Total Watts * 270 \/ 1000) * $0.12 = Total Seasonal Cost<\/code><\/p>\n<p>You can always adjust the equation to any number of hours you\u2019d like. If you want to know how much it would cost to run your Christmas lights all year long, for example, swap out 270 with 2,190.<\/p>\n<p>Now, to compare the cost difference between incandescent and LED under real-world conditions, let\u2019s use my home as an example. To avoid burying you in paragraphs describing the arrangement of my holiday decorations, I\u2019ll keep it concise.<\/p>\n<p>Indoors, we have 13 window candles with C7 bulbs and 7 strands of 100-bulb mini lights on the Christmas tree. Outdoors we have 28 strands of 100-bulb mini lights when you tally up all the trees, garlands, wreaths, and such. All told, that\u2019s 13 C7 candles and 35 100-bulb mini light strands.<\/p>\n<p>If we tally those up as if they were all incandescent, it comes to 1,596 watts. Across the 45 days of evening run time, it would cost us $51.71.<\/p>\n<p>If we tally those up as if they were LEDs, it would be 184.1 watts, costing $5.96 over the same period. Roughly that 1\/10th operating cost we talked about earlier. Switching to LEDs will save us about $45 a year.<\/p>\n<p>And remember, changing from traditional C9 bulbs to LED C9 bulbs is a massive saving over switching from incandescent mini bulbs. Let\u2019s say that all 28 strands of my outdoor bulbs were 25-bulb high-statement incandescent C9 strings instead of more petite mini bulbs.<\/p>\n<p>Switching from incandescent to LED would drop my total exterior lighting wattage down from 4,900 watts to 140 watts and reduce the bill for the exterior lights from $158.76 to $4.54. Switching over would save around $153 yearly just on the outdoor illumination alone.<\/p>\n<p>You can run the numbers for your particular setup, but no matter how many or few light strands you have, you should expect to reduce your bill substantially. With LED lights, you can live your best Clark Griswold life without relying on a Christmas bonus to pay the electric bill.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and speaking of using <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a> to optimize your holiday lighting, don\u2019t forget to pick up some smart plugs. Why waste money running your lights when it\u2019s not dark out or because you set the timer wrong? I have all my outdoor and indoor smart plugs set to automatically turn on at dusk, so no matter how the length of the day shifts, they\u2019re always right on time.<\/p>\n<div style=\"box-shadow: 0 0 4px 1px rgba(0,0,0,.2);
