Ideas for Holiday Decorating with LED Lights Colored LED Lights and Color Changing LED Lights can make your home or business stand out this holiday season

November 21, 2014 With Thanksgiving right around the corner, many of you will take a long weekend and spend Friday and Saturday decking the halls. It’s not too late to think of adding energy efficient LED lighting to your holiday decorating plans. There are a number of different things you can do depending on how subtle or how flamboyant your holiday decor is.

If your taste runs on the conservative side, our simple, inexpensive LED floodlight holders may fit the bill very well. Of durable construction and designed for outdoor use, these floodlight holders can be tucked into shrubbery or strategically placed to light a front door or outdoor holiday scene.

Lamp them up with either white or coloured PAR38 LED bulbs in blue, green, yellow, red or orange. Consider warm white waterproof flexible LED strip to outline doorways or tuck under eaves.

You can even line the insides of windows with non-waterproof flexible LED strip for a nice, soft glow or to draw attention to the wreaths you may hang inside. Think of changing out your standard A19 bulbs with coloured or colour changing LED light bulbs. Solid colours are red, blue, green, yellow and orange. Our colour changing LED light bulbs allow you to pick a colour or run the lights through a colour changing cycle.

If you’re feeling a bit more festive, you can even make your LED lights change colour with music. A simple audio controller and RGB colour changing products pair up to make quite a statement. RGB LED puck lights can easily be installed under window valances. RGB flexible LED strip, waterproof or none, can be installed most anywhere and trimmed to size. Select a solid colour, or set up playful colour changes. Your imagination is your only limitation. Want to add colour to your table decorations or perhaps to a wreath? 12V LED lights are a natural for arts and crafts, and although it’s always preferable to use a transformer connected to 120VAC power, if you just can’t manage that, there are 12V battery holders available in two sizes to accommodate the length of time you will want your LED products to run. Perfect for battery power due to low mA consumption are single LED lights such as LED MicroStars, Northstars and Bullet LEDs. Our 23A battery holder has such a small footprint, it also can be easily tucked into clothing or even your Santa Bag.

So this holiday season, think LEDs for power savings and versatility. There is a LED lighting component to serve every need from subtle to extravagant. Need your lights in a hurry?
