This holiday season more and more consumers choose energy-efficient LED Christmas lights to save money and show their support for the environment, according to the market source. Consumers are discovering the benefits of LED lights, namely the considerable cost savings and durability they offer over conventional lights. Part of the upswing in popularity is that LED lights are now cheaper than when they were first introduced, motivating more consumers to try them out. California's state capital has also created a large holiday display using LED lights.

For the environmentally conscious holiday reveler, LED Christmas lights can offer the best of both worlds. That use less energy, but last longer than regular electric bulbs, and while they may cost more, it doesn't take more than a few years to regain that cost in lower electricity use and less replacement of bulbs. Decorations indistinguishable from regular light bulbs with a distinctively "green" feeling.
