Be Smart Energy Tips: LED Mardi Gras Lights

​The Mardi Gras season is upon us and as you go about getting ready for the parties and parades, consider using LED lights to decorate instead of their traditional counterparts.

The U.S. Department of Energy estimates that using LED lights for 12 hours a day for 40 days, can save 90 percent or more energy when compared to the traditional lights. LED’s last longer and and while they are just as bright, they run much cooler, reducing the risk of fire.

Light up your Mardi Gras celebrations with safer, cooler and more energy efficient decorations.  The planet will thank you!
