Recycling Christmas Lights Manufactured Simple by HolidayLEDs.com


Jackson, MI (PRWEB) October 31, 2011

Thanks to an innovative recycling program offered by HolidayLEDs.com, disposing of those lights safely has never been easier. The program also allows families to save money while upgrading to energy-efficient and longer-lasting LED lights. Consumers can mail old incandescent holiday lights to the company, and receive a coupon for 25 percent off their next order with one of the most comprehensive online suppliers of LED Christmas lights.

We are happy to offer this recycling service to customers who are looking to save energy and stretch their dollar, said Philip C. Curtis, President of HolidayLEDs.com. We also think its the right thing to do. When you offer a better product that makes older technologies obsolete, you should be part of the solution to dispose of them responsibly.

LED holiday lights, which typically use 1/10 of the energy as older incandescents, now come in a wide variety of styles and all colors. The bulbs are virtually indestructible and are designed to last 100 times longer than traditional lights. Theyre cool to the touch, making them a safe choice for dry trees, shrubs and other greenery. And customers no longer have to worry about the whole string going bad when one bulb burns out.

To participate in the Christmas light recycling program, package old holiday lights and include a clearly-printed name and email address to receive a coupon. Send it to the following address (express or special handling is not necessary):

HolidHolidayLEDs.com Recycling Program

C/O Classic Turning, Inc.

4905 James McDivitt Street

Jackson, MI 49201-8958

To reduce the costs and environmental impacts of shipping, please:

1. Use cardboard boxes or other packaging that can easily be recycled.

2. Coordinate with friends, neighbors, co-workers, social groups, church groups, or other organizations to collect lights and send in one bulk shipment.

3. Include only the lights sets and compact them into the smallest space possible. Please leave out packing material, retail boxes, or anything used to wind up or store the lights.

HolidayLEDs.com employees will remove the lights and recycle the box. Once a substantial number of sets are collected, they are taken to a 3rd party recycling facility located in Jackson, MI. The recycling company puts the Christmas lights through a shredder that chops the lights into little pieces. These are processed and sorted into recyclable components (i.e., PVC, glass, copper), which are transported to a regional center for further processing. In some cases, however, the PVC cannot be recycled.

All 25% off coupons may be redeemed once on a single order and may not be used with any other offer, discount or coupon. Lights sent to any other address than the one above may not be received or recycled.

For further information on the recycling program, please contact HolidayLEDS.com CEO Philip Curtis at 866-492-4330 or phil(at)holidayleds(dot)com.

Indoor Lighting Can Change Your Mood: A Brief Science of Lighting

By Josh Little

Like anything that we have discovered in the past, are discovering now, or will discover, there is a science to lighting. It is true that many people shop for indoor lighting based off of aesthetic qualities alone, but it goes well beyond that. Buying effecting indoor lighting products is not just about shelling out the most money either. Daylight can be just as effective as an indoor lighting tool as any product created by a popular manufacturer. And like painting the walls of a prison pink, smartly placed, well designed, indoor lighting can improve the mood of anyone in your home.

Dark, gloomy corners of your house can easily be righted with a simple lamp. It is not because dark, gloomy corners are illegal, or immoral, but rather well-lit areas have been scientifically and psychologically proven to increase mood and cognitive performance among both sexes. Indoor lighting takes you one step closer to being a superhuman.

It turns out that people are pretty similar to moths–yes, the things you swat away from your indoor lighting. We are naturally prone to go to an area with more light as opposed to one that has none. Indoor lighting becomes increasingly important with this knowledge. We want our family and guests to be drawn to rooms, especially where group activities are performed. Your living room or entertainment room or even your screened-in back porch, they all need adequate and well-placed indoor lighting to draw the moths in.

Lighting a public room effectively, rather than bathing a room in illumination by putting a pile of lamps and ceiling fans in the center, is all about illuminating the walls. Like the morbid curiosity involved with car crashes, people like to observe when trying to relax, not participate. In other words, they like to see brightness rather than sitting enveloped in it. So, for a relaxed setting, instead of the usual main lighting that comes from the ceiling, wall-mounted indoor lighting is a better choice here.

Desk lamps are not a fluke: people concentrate and mentally perform better when equipped with adequate lighting. You do not want something with the intensity of a lighthouse, but you also do not want candle light; too much light may cause reflection off of whatever you are concentrating on, and too little will not be enough to allow you to focus. Indoor lighting can increase your mental power…think about it. It has been proven that people change body posture almost subconsciously when presented with unpleasant lighting.

Even those with businesses or large warehouse rooms can benefit from indoor lighting. For spacious and wide areas, it’s best to use high levels of illumination in the entire area, mostly where work and activities are being done. This provides a visually clear and productive environment.

Art galleries are the most apparently effective at utilizing simple indoor lighting. Placing ambient lighting on the wall, just enough to allow the viewers to see everything clearly, while additionally situating accent lighting around the art works will focus everyone in on the art. Even the occasional chandelier you see can be an intentional focus, a secondary artwork.
