Here at VistaTurf we ONLY work with LED lights. Why is that? They cost quite a but more than incandescent lights, so whats the benefit?
There are a number of reasons as to why we prefer LED lights over incandescent, but are the two primary reasons as to why:
1. The lifespan of LED lights is considerably longer. The lifespan of incandescent bulbs is typically in the hundreds of hours (one to two season at best), where as the lifespan of LED lights is in the tens of thousands of hours. That will gives you years and years and years of use!
2. LED lights use 90% LESS energy than incandescent lights. This obviously means you will save money on your electric bill during the Christmas season, but it also really helps simplify the installation of your lights. LED lights use so little energy that in many cases you can put up to 300 bulbs on one power outlet. On the other hand, 300 incandescent bulbs would require some extensive planning to stay within an outlets circuit capacity, and would require running extension cords to numerous outlets around the house.
If you are in the market for Christmas lights this year, LEDs are hands down the way to go!
