LED Holiday Lights Cost Compare with Incandescent Mini-lights
Energy expert Moye notes five hours daily use for a month costs about $1.20 with incandescent mini-lights, half that if blinking. LED lights cost more upfront but use far less energy and operate cooler, with packaging clearly marked LED. Some families still prefer older incandescent mini-lights during the holiday season.
