The Neighborhood Is All A-Glow

Tis' the holiday season and Fountain Hills Subdivision is showing it!

Some of the area homes are seasonly decorated with multi-colored, red or white lights. It really looks nice!

I read somewhere that the LED lights are much more energy saving than the traditional lights and beside they say they are brighter!

The Environmental Defense blog that I found states:

So far, people have promised to switch more than 190,000 bulbs, cutting tons of pollution. This Christmas, pledge to switch!
Save money and cut pollution
LED string lights use much less electricity, reduce pollution from power plants and last longer. And they stay cooler, too. While they cost more than traditional strings of lights up front, the electricity savings easily make up the cost difference within a season or two.
