In view of high electricity prices, the lights on the Christmas tree could subsequently provide a nasty surprise. How costs can be saved here, show calculations of Check 24.
The Christmas tree lighting and all Christmas light decoration could, if one does not set altogether on candles, become the cost driver in this year. The consumer portal Check 24 advises here to the exchange of old Christmas decoration with incandescent lamps against such with LED lighting.
Steffen Suttner, managing director energy with Check 24: "LED light chains consume only one tenth of the current compared with conventional incandescent or halogen lamps." The comparison of the light means turns out clearly: If one bases a daily burning time of ten hours, the costs for an extensive LED Christmas lighting of eight illuminated Christmas decorations - among them for example a light curtain, a Schwibbogen and a ladder with Santa Claus (see listing in the table) - amount to monthly 4.62 euro. 11,53 euro are it against alone for a Christmas tree lighting and a Schwibbogen with lamps. The bottom line for Check 24: "For just two conventional Christmas lights, consumers pay 150% more for electricity than for extensive LED lighting."
0.36 kWh for ten hours of use per day consumes the extensive LED Christmas lighting in the example given. The conventional Christmas tree lighting including Schwibbogen comes against it on a daily current consumption of 0,90 kWh.
Alone the exchange of the light chain at the Christmas tree holds according to the portal enormous saving potential: Thus LED Christmas tree candles consume up to 97 per cent less river than those with bulbs. A commercial LED Christmas tree chain consumes with a burning duration of ten hours 0.02 kWh river. Cost: 0.8 cents per day. A chain of lights with incandescent bulbs, on the other hand, has a daily electricity consumption of 0.6 kWh for the same burning duration and costs 25.6 cents.
