Impressive Eco-friendly Holiday Lighting

Lighting is one of the best and easiest ways to decorate your home for the holidays. And with today's energy efficient lighting solutions available in a wide range of colours and styles, it's never been easier to create a warm inviting atmosphere for friends and family especially on a cold winter's night

Both the interior and exterior features of your home can be highlighted using these simple tips:

• Direct coloured flood lights at the exterior of your home and this will give it definition. Also, be sure to capture some of the sparkle in the snow.
• Hang outdoor-rated strings of LED lights to highlight roof peaks and windows.
• Use LED Stake lights to outline walkways or in your vases or urns to enhance your greenery.
• Replace interior lights with Philips 13 watt coloured compact florescent bulbs or 1 watt LED coloured bulbs to enhance your holiday theme and entertaining.
• Hang LED battery operated snowflakes on dry indoor surfaces, such as your windows, for an effect seen both inside and outside your home.

“It is amazing what you can do with lights; I used to decorate with only outdoor string lights, but now I use different types of indoor and outdoor lighting to liven up my house and I don't see a huge change in my electricity bill,” says Mary Xavier, a local homeowner.

Holiday lights, in addition to your shiny ornaments, tinsel, garland and other trimmings, will create an ambiance of holiday grandeur in your home. Your friends and family will be delighted to visit again and again this holiday season.
