It’s Christmas time again, and people are venturing forth to see the most beautiful local displays of Christmas lights. Of course, these displays always include enormous numbers of outdoor string lights. And why not? Outdoor string lights are one of the simplest and easy ways of lighting up the dark. But they are not limited to Christmas lights. As they become smaller and less expensive through research, LED string lights are becoming quite popular due to both their low cost of operation, and their incredibly long lives. If solar powered LED lights are used the cost of operation is $0. And as to their lifetimes, LED bulbs last 50,000 hours and even longer. 5 to 10 times longer than any other kind of light.
