That's because LEDs DO use far less electricity than incandescents.
PHILIPS CHRISTMAS LIGHTS PROFESSIONAL
Our professional installers haven't strung a string of incandescents on a home, a business, or a city street in many years. And we've long since switched to using LED lights exclusively in our own commercial Christmas lighting service - that's 60,000 sets installed every year. Though we still offer incandescent lights to customers that want them, LEDs now comprise almost all of our sales. Though there's lots of hype swirled into that mix, that doesn't change the fact that LEDs really have been game-changers for decorative Christmas lighting (and many other applications). LEDs Do Offer Real Advantagesīy now, I know that most everyone has heard of the many benefits of LED Christmas lighting. (And I could use much stronger terminology in conveying my opinion of that answer.) I can assure you that the next set of LED Christmas lights you purchase will NOT last you for 20 years. The answer to that question, according to our competitor's blog post, is that you can expect your LED Christmas lights to last for up to 20 years.
The topic of that post is the very topic of this post: How long LED Christmas lights last. Just the other day, I read a blog article posted by one of our competitors. It's quite common for consumers to be given outrageously misleading answers to this question. And this is perhaps the most hyped-up topic I've ever encountered in our industry. Unfortunately, I can't say the same for some of the other Christmas light sellers out there. We take pains here at Christmas Designers to be sure we're always providing honest, practical answers to your questions. Chuck in Omaha is the latest to ask us this question: How long do LED Christmas lights last? Before I get into the details of actually answering the question, I'd like to post a little editorial preamble… Why not also here with an integrated ZigBee controller in the stand? I would certainly spend a few extra euros for this at the end of the day.Today's question is one that we're asked quite frequently. The numerous fir trees and stars made of wood or metal – really chic and in most cases equipped with LED light strips anyway. And what could be more fitting than a chic string of lights where you can simply set the desired colour temperature yourself using the Hue app?Īnd Philips Hue has already laid the foundations for Christmas outdoor lighting with its low-voltage system: From a technical point of view, it would probably be easy to launch a light chain extension for outdoor use.īut this does not have to be the end of the line. One sees fairy lights with cold white LEDs or warm white LEDs. And this is exactly where a technology that Philips Hue has mastered wonderfully could come into play: White Ambiance.īecause – and this is also evident when you look at Germany’s gardens and living rooms – there is no real consensus. For the Christmas tree at home, I personally would also be happy with a string of lights in which all LEDs have the same colour.
This is what Philips Hue Christmas lighting could look likeīut even if Twinkly is really impressive, for most of us it doesn’t have to be so much bling-bling. For changing colours, animations and individually addressable LEDs, the ZigBee wireless standard is not really suitable as the basis of the Hue system. First of all, we have to accept that we would probably not be able to get a chain of lights such as Twinkly, for example, with Philips Hue soon.
