Light up the night with these eco-friendly Christmas lights
The tradition of illuminating the home during the holidays dates back to the dark ages when yule logs and winter solstice candles would be lit to summon back a fading sun. These LED Solar Holiday Lights turn that custom on its head by using the sun itself to provide their power! A solar cell charges them during daylight hours and a photo cell turns them automatically on and off at dusk and dawn to help you sustainably celebrate the season. Includes 6' wire leads.

Who Invented Electric Christmas Tree Lights?
Edison's assistant is the Father of Electric Christmas Tree Lights
From that point on, electrically illuminated Christmas trees gained rapid popularity. In 1895, U.S. President Grover Cleveland proudly sponsored the first electrically lit Christmas tree in the White House.
Electric Christmas tree lights were invented in 1882.
Indoor LED Christmas Tree Lights
Solar doesn't work indoors, but these lights use less energy
Since solar lights aren't practical for indoor tree lighting, LED (or Light Emitting Diode) lights may be the next best thing. These lights don't have filaments or bulbs like traditional lights, they use up to 80 percent less energy, and they can last 20 times longer than traditional lights.
According to an article from the website for CBS 11 TV in Dallas, "If we replaced all those large Christmas bulbs with LED lights we would save 2 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity. That's enough to power 200,000 homes for one year."
You can buy LED lights online at a variety of stores, from Christmas specialty sites such as Christmas Lights Etc to mega retailers such as Amazon.
