Home Depot is offering a $3 coupon toward the purchase of any energy efficient LED Christmas lights from November 5 through November 15. All you have to do is bring in your used incandescent light strings - whether they are working or not. For each string you bring in, you'll receive a $3 coupon. There is a 5 coupon limit per customer

Online, the ad showed a box of "Home Accents Holiday" LED cool white dome lights with 50 lights. These used to be $6.97 and are now priced at $5.97. So, with your coupon, they should only cost $2.97.

There are other savings benefits of using LED lighting, too. You'll use up to 80% less energy than you would with incandescent lighting. The amount of electricity used by one 7-watt incandescent bulb is enough to power 140 LED's. So, you'll save on your power bill, too.

Also, you can have peace-of-mind. LED's are cool to the touch. They won't help your tree dry out faster, nor will they be a heat source near that tinder-dry tree. That means you don't have to worry as much about fire. There's nothing more heart breaking than the fires that happen around the holiday season.
