Solar lights and LED bulbs

LED bulbs are the most energy efficient way to control the use of energy. They use 80% less energy than do the older bulbs and are attractive enough to complement your display. They come in rope type lights and icicle type. Solar lights are also plentiful this year for use at the end of driveways or along walkways for added appeal and safety when walking outside at night. The lights are mounted on short poles that can be pushed into the ground. Solar lights are completely powered by sunlight, so there is no electricity usage involved. Place them in direct sunlight.
