Energy saving has even extended into our holiday decorations. That's right, the standard mini lights, which we've used for years. And to give you an example of the savings, this guy here will draw about 68 watts. The new LED bulbs will draw about 13 watts a set. Now the cost is about two to three times more, but this guy here is rated to last up to about 20 years. Now the same precautions whether you're buying exterior or interior lights pertain. No more than three sets to be plugged in at any one time. Make sure you purchase them with a UL rating, either indoor or outdoor, or whatever application you're going to use. And make sure that the plug in part of the light itself has a fuse in it. In case there's problems you can replace that very easily. The LED bulbs, I think they're very attractive when they're plugged in. They're good light. And the savings, about 80 to 90 percent.
