Holiday gift and entertaining guide

Save energy this holiday
season with LED lights
Lighting up the home for the
holiday season is a great way to
add warmth and a touch of holiday
spirit. LED lights are a great option
for those looking to save energy
and keep on budget. The lighting
team at Canadian Tire has some
holiday décor ideas that won’t
break the bank.
The benefits of LED lights. Light
Emitting Diode (LED) lights are a
great way to save energy while maintaining
a traditional, seasonal look:
• Energy efficiency. LED lights use
80-90 per cent less energy than
conventional lighting, saving
money on energy bills.
• Safety. LED lights are made of
non-flammable plastic epoxy
that won’t break, even when
stepped on, and they run cool to
the touch, making them a safe
alternative for families with
young children.
• Convenience. LED lights last up
to seven times longer than traditional
holiday lights, with a bulb
life of 200,000 hours. They also
require no replacement bulbs.
• Style. LED lights have a unique
shape and shimmer that provide
a beautiful, bright look both
indoors and out.
Decorating with LED lights.
• Adorning the outside of
the house with lights and
decorations immediately sets
a festive tone for family and
friends. New NOMA Outdoor
Colour Changing LED lights fade
in and out from red to green
or red to blue and are a great
alternative to traditional lights
for outside.
• To accent special features of the
house like the roofline or pillars,
hang icicle lights.
• For a versatile lighting option,
try NOMA LED rope lights available
in a variety of colours. They
can be bent or shaped to fit virtually
any application.
• Pre-lit trees save you having to
string lights on the tree and are
available with multi-coloured
LED lights.
• Available at Canadian Tire,
NOMA has a pre-lit wreath and
garland that both come with LED
lights and add that extra touch of
holiday warmth to your front
door or stairs.
• Often forget to turn your lights
off Timers are the perfect solution
as they can be programmed
to automatically turn off both
indoor and outdoor lights to help
save you money.
