The "Spectacle of Lights" presented by Sylvania at Disney MGM Studios may take the cake for the biggest and brightest holiday display, with five million lights dancing to music. Yet, when it comes to decorating your own home, sometimes less really is more.
You don't need thousands of lights to create a spectacular effect. Simple changes like swapping out standard bulbs for crystal halogen bulbs (they are energy efficient and cost less to run) or adding lights to a wreath on your front door or fireplace mantle can really change the mood of your room.
The newest craze in holiday lighting is light emitting diodes or LED's. LED lights bring beautiful light that's energy-efficient and safe into your home. They remain cool to the touch and can be a safer replacement for tea lights in candle holders. The result is a display that's not only stunning, but kid-friendly. Finally, be sure that your lights and extension cords carry a UL seal and your decorations are rated for indoor or outdoor use.
