Read more: Energy bills could be slashed by €35m with battery storage power
He said: "Thankfully technology has come on leaps and bounds, LED bulbs are far more durable and energy efficient than the old incandescent bulbs, meaning there's no fear of racking up a sky-high bill come January"
So how much are your Christmas lights costing you? The following figures were calculated using an average energy price of 43.2c per kWh.
Christmas tree lights
According to Wizer Energy, most Irish households will use 2 sets of LED fairy lights to decorate their tree (around 25 metres of length in total). If you switch on the lights between 4pm-12am you can expect to pay around €0.0207 per day. That works out at around 64c for the entire month of December.
However, the older incandescent bulbs are far more expensive. A string of lights with 100 bulbs will consume roughly 40 watts, which would cost you €0.1382 per day, or €4.28 per month, an increase of €3.64.
LED rope lights usually consume around 1 watt per foot, so a 50-metre length of rope light that's left on for 8 hours a day is going to cost you €0.5668, or €17.75 for the month of December making them the some of the biggest energy consumers.
Again, the incandescent bulbs will cost you way more in bills. The same length of lighting nearly triples the price, as these bulbs would use around 3 watts per foot, working out at €1.70 per day or €52.70 for the month.
Outdoor decorations
Outdoor decorations are another common sight in many Dublin gardens. This Reindeer & Sleigh decoration from the Range for example is a great one to give your garden some Christmas cheer. Martin says: "These decorations can be a little bit deceptive as they are relatively inexpensive, not too big and look great in front of the house - however they utilise LED rope lights too, this one features around 5m of rope light, which means it'll cost you €0.0567 to run for 8 hours, or around €1.75 for the month"
Who is WELOCK?
Founded in 2013, WELOCK aims to put smart home access solutions on the map, offering customers a safe and convenient way to lock and unlock their homes.
Available in four different continents (North America, Europe, the Middle East, and Australia), WELOCK was one of the first companies to implement biometric fingerprint technology in lock cylinders, globally.
How does the WELOCK smart lock work?
With a 3D biometric fingerprint sensor on the lock, your fingerprint becomes the key to unlocking your home. Within the space of 1.5 seconds, the WELOCK smart lock recognizes your fingerprint and unlocks the door.
But, more than just a gimmicky smart lock, the WELOCK is able to recognize up to 100 fingerprints, allowing you to assign multiple users from small to large households. With a 98 per cent recognition rate, this is one of the most secure and reliable smart locks around.
However, what do you do if your fingerprint doesn’t work, or you’d rather not use fingerprint technology to access your home or office? That’s the beauty of the WELOCK smart lock-chose between fingerprint access, RFID card, or the WELOCK app on your smartphone. You can unlock your doors from anywhere with a Wi-Fi Box gateway. So, if a family member forgets their keys, or has misplaced their RFID card, you can still grant them access. And, if it keeps happening, you can review all of your unlocked records via the app to see a history of who enters your home and when.
Protection where you need it
Thanks to its IP65 rating, the WELOCK smart lock is fully dustproof. This means there is less chance of it getting damaged due to everyday wear and tear. And, although it’s not fully waterproof, you can still use it outdoors as long as it’s sheltered from the rain.
It’s so easy
With technology like this, you may wonder how often you need to change or charge the batteries. The WELOCK smart lock boasts a generous one-year battery life as it uses three AAA batteries.
That means you can lock and unlock your door up to 8,000 times before you need to change the batteries. Still, you won’t get caught out as the OLED display makes it easy to see the battery status, and the app will issue a low battery warning when the battery depletes to less than 20 per cent.
If you do get caught out, however, the WELOCK smart lock can be unlocked using a portable charger until you can replace the batteries. Just another layer of convenience to ensure your home remains protected.
And, thanks to its DIY installation, this smart lock can be installed easily with just a screwdriver. That’s right-no hardwiring, no locksmith-just a video to guide you through the process.
