October 19, 2007 – Vol.12 No.30 Mason Area Chamber of Commerce: Switch to LEDs to Save Nearly 75 Percent on Holiday Lighting Electric Bill. The savings for the City of Mason, Michigan are expected even though the number of lights will more than double. The savings will continue for years since the new LED lights are rated to last for more than 200,000 hours. Mason is replacing the 500 old incandescent bulbs with 1200 C7 style multicolored LED lights. The old C7 and C9 bulbs consumed an average of 6.5 watts per bulb which, after 42 days of 24-hour operation, consumed 3276 kilowatt hours of electricity (about $327 worth.) In contrast, the new 1200 LED Christmas lights will consume only 870 kilowatt hours of electricity (about $87 worth) during the same period. The City about $250 each year while adding over 700 lights to its tree, the community’s Christmas tree, located on the Ingham County Courthouse’s west lawn. The 1200 new LED lights will draw only 864 watts of power; feature professional weatherproof connectors, durable epoxy plastic bulbs, and all 1200 lights can be plugged into one standard outlet. The lights were purchased from HolidayLEDs.com an e-commerce company specializing in LED holiday lights. (10/19/07)
