Energy-saving ideas for setting holiday lights aglow
(NC)—Lighting up the home for the holiday season is a great way to add warmth and a touch of holiday spirit to any home. The lighting team at Canadian Tire has put together some tips to help Canadians add a little lighting magic to their homes without blowing their holiday budget.
Decorating with lights
• Adorning the outside of the house with lights and decorations immediately sets a festive tone for family and friends.
• To accent special features of the house like the roofline or pillars, choose ribbon lights or for a cascading waterfall effect, hang icicle lights from the roofline.
• For a versatile lighting option, try rope lights. They can be bent or shaped to fit virtually any application.
• Garland lights that feature clusters of lights are perfect for lining doorways, fences and pillars.
• To add some fun for the kids and liven up your yard, choose from Canadian Tire's line up of
illuminated figures including angels, reindeers, Santa or a moose.
Conserve energy and save money
• Often forget to turn your lights off? Timers are the perfect solution as they can be programmed to automatically turn off both indoor and outdoor lights.
• Many people go away during the holidays, leaving their homes unattended. By setting the timer, lights will automatically go on and give the appearance that someone is home, enhancing security.
• Using timers year round will go a long way to reducing energy consumption and saving money.
• Choose strings of lights with C7 bulbs. These environmentally friendly bulbs help conserve energy and come in a variety of colours.
• Visit your local Canadian Tire store and pick up an Energy Conservation brochure for more tips on saving energy all year long.
