But you can neatly trim the amount of electricity your lights use; without affecting your enjoyment one bit. If you're planning to buy riew strings of lights, or replace old, wom ones, try energy saving 5-watt bulb strings, instead of the usual 7-watts. They come in the same colours, and are every bit as cheery and festive. But they use up to 30%Y less electricity and for that they deserve a special holiday cheer. You can also save energy by tumning your holiday lights off when you're flot at home.'- And by using a timner, you can set your lights to tum on and off automnatically, ensuring they are flot left on ail night.. By doing these littie things, you can save energy while enjoying a bright holiday season. For more infomrnation on energy saving lighting cail, toil free, 1-800-263-9000.
