Saving energy can save holiday hassles

<h2 style="margin: 10pt 0in 0pt">Saving energy can save holiday hassles</h2>(ARA) - It’s not just a holiday cliche – people really do hate untangling last year’s holiday lights, according to a new survey by an independent research firm retained by GE Consumer & Industrial.Untangling lights was the biggest hassle for 56 percent of respondents. Second place was a tie, with 39 percent feeling that hanging lights on the house was a top time drain and another 39 percent saying that stringing lights on the tree is a pain, according to the survey. Nearly a quarter said they plan to decorate using energy-saving LED holiday lights and over half plan to use an artificial tree, making energy-saving decor a possible trend this holiday season. People living in the west will be most likely to decorate with LED lights and people living in the northeast will be less likely to use an artificial tree than are people living in other regions of the United States. Regardless of the region of the country consumers live in, holiday decorators will be interested in a line of pre-lit trees with low-voltage, cool-burning GE Energy Smart LED holiday lights.
