Switch to solar powered lights

Take advantage of our summer-time sunshine and invest in solar-powered Christmas lights.

You can position solar lights anywhere you like, as long as the panel gets good sun, so your days of getting tangled up in the extension cord are over.

And for indoors, make sure the lights you buy are LED as they use about 75% less energy than halogen light bulbs. They also last 5 to 10 times longer, greatly reducing replacement costs and the number of light bulbs that end up in landfill.
