Whether the decorations come out straight after Black Friday, December 1, or 12 days before Christmas, one thing on many households' minds this festive season is how much decorative lights cost to run. There's one particular type of lights shoppers should buy for if they want to save on energy costs.
As the cost of living continues to rise, many households are becoming more aware of how much energy they use around the house, whether its doing a wash cycle at a particular time, using an air fryer instead of the oven or switching off standby appliances. So as we approach December many households are looking at ways to light up the house for Christmas, as cost-effective as possible.
This £9.99 set of 200 LED lights on Amazon is not only one of the cheapest available, but they are a lot cheaper to run compared to lights with a standard 'steady on' or 'in-wave' setting. The average 7ft tree 'needs' around 210 lights so cutting costs will soon add up for shoppers with more than one tree.
