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.
