Crap. The benefit of LED bulbs was they’re tiny, inexpensive, and use little power. However, not if you increase their numbers by 1000x
hetriedtokillmewithaforklift
Doesn't matter if you obviously own a nuclear reactor
nevergoingtogiveyouupnevergoingtoletyoudown
You need 1000x to produce the same light as the old style bulb. Christmas LEDs are dim as fuck.
TheCTKid
Yeah, no
rgr33572
And yet they did this before LEDs.
eetsumkaus
wrong. The benefit of LED bulbs is with the same power you can make your display 1000x more awesome!
AuditorInCharge
Have to agree. I've been upgrading the display every year for the past few years.
ThomasThundersword
This guy gets it
DarkerSavant
Also brighter at same voltages.
MikeStinse
Unless you have a proper for the fluorescent then, theres not as big of a benefit
anorexicfatass
Probably routed to a seperate generator. Might be using gasoline instead of directly using house power.
mindstorm8191
If it's needing MORE power than what the grid can provide, that'll be a really expensive generator (and probably loud, too)

Yea, just to run all those lights. Especially if they have sound choreographed to the lights.

Yup if you do it with a small fm transmitter fine, but if you put a speaker you're an asshole.

I was talking to a guy with a house like that about a week ago - he was a sparky himself, and did upgrade the electrics just for it!
I'm a sparky. I don't own a home yet. I've already drafted plans for how to upgrade the electrical systems for dumb lol

We have a local house famous for its light display. They take donations to cover the cost. But they haven’t upgraded to LEDs.

I know a guy with over a dozen inflatables in his yard. It is about $600/mo to run the blowers.
Extension cords might play a role here. If you're running multiple cords just to reach, even a small motor will need lots of power

Some houses have a donation box just for the power bills. (Englewood Colorado)

I have a neighbor who does this every year. He claims it’s about $60/mo extra.

Fairly reasonable.
Lexx78
I run like 2-3 strings of bulbs and wrap the tree in a couple sets as well and my bill goes from 80$ to 220$. I can’t fathom this cost !!
Oh I know! My one string of lights in my apartment brought mine up $20 and I only occasionally had them on.
Twasnotluckbutskill
Try LED bulbs... thats a ridiculous increase
jeffoncom
Most likely most of that cost is related to heating since it starts to get cold in november and december.
SteevyT
My cost jumped from $100ish to $200ish per month going from summer to winter. Its the gas bill that did it for me though.

I solve this problem by keeping my house at a warm and toasty 50 degrees and putting on a sweatshirt.

(2/2) increase was about $7 an hour more with the lights on, effectively increasing his bill by $210 when he kept them on 1 hr a night.
