Now Is the Time to Plan Your Christmas Lights

We might not like to accept it but it is that time of year when the summer ends and the nights start getting a bit darker a bit earlier. It's nice to have something to look forward to at this time of year and of course this is what Christmas does for us. The decorations and the whole festival of Christmas is something that simply never loses its appeal, and lots of colourful Christmas lights are undoubtedly intrinsic to that enjoyment.

Many of the UK's cities are busy getting ready for their Christmas decoration unveilings, and several have already announced the celebrities they've booked to switch the lights on only a few weeks from now. Unlike the Blackpool Illuminations, your Christmas lights might not be getting switched on by Robbie Williams, but that doesn't mean they can't be really special!

Getting organised early on for Christmas is something that really does pay off, removing a lot of the stress often associated with festive preparations and allowing you to relax and enjoy yourself at such a special time of year. One of the key first steps is to plan the perfect selection of Christmas lighting as the lights chosen for the tree and to decorate outside define the ambience and mood of the room and home. Energy saving light bulbs specialist BLT Direct stock a fantastic range of Christmas lights, all of which are designed to be kind to the environment.

BLT Direct’s range of indoor and outdoor Christmas lights are attractive, effective and energy efficient, and sure to provide a welcome addition to the interior or exterior of any home or office.

The Icicle Christmas lights are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Remote controlled they offer a choice of eight pulsating settings and one static setting. Lit by LED light bulbs, the Icicle Christmas lights benefit from the long life features of low energy bulbs but have the brightness and vibrancy often associated with the traditional incandescent bulb.

Christmas fairy lights are undoubtedly top of any festive lighting list; choose from two lengths and various colour combinations. BLT Direct’s fairy lights also make use of LED technology. Their long-life bulbs mean they can be stored away after Christmas and re-used next year or, dusted off for a special occasion such as a wedding or party at any time.

The easy way to switch to greener lighting

There is a growing environmental responsibility on all our shoulders these days, from the individual person to businesses of all sizes and even national governments. Innovations such as solar panels and wind turbines are becoming common sights, reflecting a move to a greener society. The design of light bulbs has also changed in recent years, enabling us to install those that use less energy quickly and easily in the home. As well as being kinder to the environment, energy-saving light bulbs can also prove more economical to the consumer, who can save small fortune over the life time of the bulb.

Energy saving lightbulb specialist BLT Direct realise that knowing which bulb to use may sometimes seem a daunting prospect, but it really is just a case of reading the relevant information on the packaging. With the clear, informative instructions on the box, you can be sure you’re purchasing the appropriate products.

When replacing conventional bulbs with newer energy saving light bulbs such as the GU10, there is clear information on the packaging which tells the consumer which size they need to purchase. This makes the changeover a simple process, ensuring the appropriate coverage of light is maintained.

GU10 energy saving light bulbs have an average life span of 2000 hours, so can be relied upon to give efficient, cheaper lighting for longer. These halogen bulbs are ideal for desk lamps and where a good coverage of light is needed in a small space, such as in a workshop. Fitting is easy, involving a short twist into the socket.

Making the change to energy saving LED lightbulbs couldn’t be simpler, and will enable you to reduce your carbon footprint in no time. To find out how to change over safely, all you have to do is read the instructions provided on the box.

BLT Direct supply all the major names in commercial and domestic lighting, ensuring the consumer has a comprehensive choice for all types of bulb. Osram, Philips, Sylvamia, Pro Lite, GE and Impact are just a small selection of those that are available, and all at surprisingly low prices.

The fittings for energy saving lightbulbs are the same as for standard bulbs, so whether you’re replacing one with a bayonet or an Edison screw, you can do so with ease. All you need to do is read the packaging to decide which size bulb needs to be used. It’s remarkably simple, and will help the planet at the same time.
