LIGHTED CHRISTMAS
LIGHTED CHRISTMAS
How many 100ct mini Christmas lights can I run off a 1500 watt inverter?
I have been nominated to use my 06 Ram in our annual Christmas Parade and the ROTC kids want to decorate it with lights. I need to find out how many sets I can run off a 1500 watt inverter w/o a problem. I don't want the inverter shutting off half way through the parade.
A whole bunch if you use LED lights!
I have some 50 light C5 LED strings from GE. Each string uses 3.3 watts. You probably don't want to go over about 50% of the rated 1500 watts so assume 750 watts available. 750/3.3 = 227 for the 50 light sets I have. You should check the actual rating of the strings you buy.

LED Outdoor Christmas Lights
As I was trying to find out if LED lights are more efficient and why, I came upon some interesting facts not only about LED lights but the past of Christmas Tree Lights....interesting...
And yes, LED lights which stands for light-emitting diode, are more energy efficient. We can get very technical but...I'm concerned with energy saving. Since I use lots and lots of Christmas lights outdoors its nice to know that LED Outdoor Christmas lights are in fact not only saving me money, but using less electricity as well.
LED technology has come a long way in the past three years. LED technology is used in brake lights, remotes, electric clocks, calculators, traffic lights and many other devices that we use everyday.
Interestingly enough, the first electrically lighted Christmas Tree was introduced in 1882 by an associate of Thomas Edison, Edward Johnson. The first lighted Christmas tree was introduced just three years after electricity was invented by Edison. The tree was in the parlor of Johnson's New York City home, located in the first section of that city to be wired for electricity.
Compared to traditional Christmas lights, LED lights give off a brighter, almost bluish light and come in different sizes, shapes and colors. The many different shapes of LED Christmas lights give you more options of how you want to decorate for Christmas. LED lights are available for indoor or outdoor use. So you will not only be conserving energy, saving on your electric bill but have much more variety.
