Lighting for less this holiday season in Bluefield
Appalachian Power urges homeowners to switch to LED Christmas lights to cut December electric bills. LED strands use about 20 percent less energy, with ten mini-light strands adding roughly six dollars a month, versus about $1.25 for the same use with LED lights. LED lights are durable, safe, and produce less heat, though they have a higher upfront price.
