About the Lights
Brighten Your Holidays uses patented light strings which look similar
to conventional miniature lights, but they are virtually unbreakable and much more
energy efficient. Our MicroChip LED lights are rated for up to 200,000 hours of use
- or over 20 years. Our Super Mini Lights have a 15,000 hr rating.
Electricity Savings
The brilliant MicroChip LED lights achieve high brightness with only a small fraction
of energy. Instead of consuming about 50 Watts per string of 100 (conventional mini-lights),
our lights use only a few watts of power. 2100 lights strung together equals about the same
amount of electricity as two 60 watt bulbs. The 80-90% savings in electricity quickly adds up.
Each string can save many dollars per month.
Friendly to the Environment
Because the MicroChip LED lights use only a small amount of the electricity that conventional
mini lights use our lights are more energy efficient, which equals more environmentally friendly.
Living in California we know how important saving electricity is to our environment. Additionally,
because the lights last much longer than conventional mini-lights this creates less impact on our landfills.
Safety
MicroChip LED lights are virtually unbreakable, constructed of solid flameproof epoxy plastic.
They also operate much cooler than conventional lights, making them safer to use both indoors and out.
Patent pending circuitry allows them to be plugged directly into a household power outlet (120 VAC),
without bulky transformers or other heat producing components.
How They Work
MicroChip LEDlights use Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs), now considered "the greatest invention in
lighting since Edison's light bulb in 1879." LEDs are rapidly replacing light bulbs in a variety of
high reliability applications, including traffic lights, brake lights, and emergency exit signs.
LEDs are constructed from tiny solid-state chips similar to those used in computers. These chips
directly convert electricity to light without the use of a filament or glass bulb. Instead, the
chips are encapsulated in solid plastic that can be made into a variety of shapes and sizes. The
basic differences between conventional light bulbs and LEDs are shown as follows:
Since LEDs have no filament, there is nothing to burn out and no need for a breakable bulb.
Without the burning filament, very little heat is produced, due to the injection molded solid
sealed construction if one bulb fails, the rest of the set will continue to function.
This amazing technology allows us to provide our customers with an environmentally friendly way to
light up their homes during the holidays
