Energy efficiency & Christmas lights

Post by some seeing eye » Wed Nov 13, 2013 7:53 am

Most Burners are well aware and ahead of the curve in converting lighting to LEDs because they use less precious playa power.

If you have some old bad incandescent lights, American retailers in their never ending quest to separate you from your moneys are taking in the old ones for partial trade on the new ones for the next few days.

Here is hoping the wire will be recycled. There actually is a special scrap wire type for christmas tree lights!

A wild guess here, but if copper wire is worth stealing, these will be properly recycled...
