You don’t have to give up glitter to put up My EverLights holiday light installation in a way that is good for the environment. You need to change how you power, put, and care for your display so that it shines without wasting resources or energy. Your house might look great all season long without adding to your carbon footprint if you do things the proper way.

Start with LEDs. They last for years and use a lot less energy than regular light bulbs. If your display runs for a few hours every night, you’ll see the difference on your electric bill immediately away. Choose strands with bulbs that can be replaced so you don’t have to get rid of the whole set.

You might also look at lighting that use solar power. They are great for walkways, fences, and accent lighting in areas that get a lot of direct sunlight during the day. Good solar panels can store enough energy to keep the lights on for a few hours every night, even in the cold.

Check to see if the design is strategic. Instead of lighting up the full house, just light up the significant pieces, like the roofline, a tree in the middle, or a path. Not only does focusing your lights save electricity, but it also makes things look cleaner and more intriguing.

Smart plugs and timers are quite useful. At night, turn on your lights and turn them off when you go to bed. This saves hours of power use without sacrificing the effect. You won’t have to go outside in the cold to pull a plug either.

If you plan ahead, eco-friendly lighting isn’t a compromise; it’s an improvement. You may still get that festive glow that will make your neighbors look twice, and you won’t feel awful about it.
