Deck the Halls with LED Lights
‘Tis the season to be jolly! Feast your eyes on spectacular holiday light displays from around the world.
As we hang Christmas lights inside and outside our homes, we begin to feel the holiday spirit. It’s a tradition that reminds us of the most precious gifts in our lives: family, love, and health. In this article, we look back on the history of Christmas lights. We also travel the world and see spectacular holiday light displays to fill our hearts with joy and warmth.
Holiday light displays around the world
The introduction of LED Christmas lights has sparked astounding light displays across the globe. More durable, efficient, and longer-lasting than their predecessors, they use up to 90% less energy and last up to 25 times longer. They also don’t get hot to the touch, making them a safer option to illuminate trees, wreaths, garlands, and other Christmas decorations.
From Asia to Europe to the Americas, here are several awe-inspiring holiday light displays to feast your eyes on.
