Christmas Decorating
Energy-saving ideas for setting holiday lights aglow
(NC)-Lighting up the home for the
holiday season is a great way to add warmth and a touch of
holiday spirit to any home. The lighting team at Canadian
Tire has put together some tips to help Canadians add a
little lighting magic to their homes without blowing their
holiday budget.
Decorating with lights
. Adorning the outside of the house
with lights and decorations immediately sets a festive
tone for family and friends.
. To accent special features of the
house like the roofline or pillars, choose ribbon lights
or for a cascading waterfall effect, hang icicle lights
from the roofline.
. For a versatile lighting option,
try rope lights. They can be bent or shaped to fit
virtually any application.
. Garland lights that feature
clusters of lights are perfect for lining doorways, fences
and pillars.
. To add some fun for the kids and
liven up your yard, choose from Canadian Tire's line up of
illuminated figures including angels, reindeers, Santa or
a moose.
Conserve energy and save money
. Often forget to turn your lights
off? Timers are the perfect solution as they can be
programmed to automatically turn off both indoor and
outdoor lights.
. Many people go away during the
holidays, leaving their homes unattended. By setting the
timer, lights will automatically go on and give the
appearance that someone is home, enhancing security.
. Using timers year round will go a
long way to reducing energy consumption and saving money.
. Choose environmentally friendly
lights that help to conserve energy. Noma Light Emitting
Diode (LED) lights last up to seven times longer than
traditional holiday lights and cost up to 90 percent less
to operate. These energy-efficient lights are bright and
stylish and are available at Canadian Tire in a variety of
colours and styles.
. Visit your local Canadian Tire
store and pick up an Energy Conservation brochure for more
tips on saving energy all year long.
