Christmas lights are chosen for their beauty rather than practicality. Mainly, the big decision is whether to go all-white or for color. From there, maybe you consider multi-color or single color, big bulbs vs. small. Do you consider the environmental impact[1] ? Probably not.
But the LED Christmas lights flooding the market right now might be worth a second look for more than just the "green" factor. Though they're usually a few dollars more per strand, there are a few bigger benefits[2] , like the fact that they won't burn out as quickly as traditional versions[3] . (There's always that one bulb that goes out immediately.) Watch the video above for the full scoop, plus an interesting way to recycle old lights.
