In addition to solar lights and LED Christmas lights in a variety of styles, battery-operated holiday lights are also available. Burlington, Vt. (PRWEB) November 18, 2009 -- Gardner's Supply announces the availability of new lines of outdoor holiday lights to light up the season. The range of solar and LED Christmas lights gives homeowners a creative and eco-conscious way to celebrate the holidays. As people think about decorating with lights for the holiday season, many are concerned about what impact holiday lights will have on their efforts to reduce their carbon footprint. Those concerns are well-founded. According to recent data, the generation of electric power is responsible for 39 percent of carbon emissions that contribute to global climate change(1) . Larger old-style outdoor lights use as much as 250 watts per 50-bulb strand. "There's new interest in our outdoor solar, LED (Light Emitting Diodes) and battery-operated lights, as people begin to understand there are ways to get outdoor light with less energy," said Frank Oliver, senior manager of product design, Gardener's Supply. Burlington, Vermont-based Gardener's Supply, known for its innovative earth-friendly gardening products, has noticed an increased demand for low-energy lighting, and is offering many new solar and glow-in-the-dark options for lighting up the outdoors. "There are many creative ways to light the outdoors during the holiday season; our Star Lights, Northern Light Spheres, Tulip Solar Lights and Solar Soji Lanterns are all solar- powered and beautiful at night," Oliver says. "We recommend using a combination of low-energy LED lighting with our many outdoor solar products." Gardener's Supply is offering several new designs of string lights in a variety of colors that use LED technology. These new lights use 80 percent less energy than standard mini lights, are 25 percent brighter and are cool to the touch. These LED holiday lights use as little as 2 to 4 watts per strand and can last for 200,000 hours. The LED Christmas lights also emit a much warmer glow than previous models. The LED string lights are available in varied styles and sizes -- Forever Lights, Super Bright String Lights and Retro. The Forever Lights are flame-shaped, while the Super Bright String Lights are more traditional mini-lights. Both are available in warm white or multi-colored. The Retro lights are the old-fashioned bulb design and are only available in multi-colored. For a wreath or doorway, Battery-Operated String Lights are a great way to make a statement without worrying about an extension cord. Each 6 ½" string has 20 unbreakable lights and is suitable for indoor use, or in protected outdoor areas such as a porch or covered entryway.
