Andy Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 The Faucher Family in Delaware have built extravagant Christmas lights setups for 25 years now. How extravagant? They use 1,000,000 lights. So how much does it cost them to run the lights for a month? $82,320. Gulp. HouseLogic estimated the total cost by using the average price per kWh in the Faucher Family's region and assumed each of their 1,000,000 bulbs were the average 5 watt C7 bulb. They then figured the lights to run for 4 hours each night and 30 nights in total. The estimated cost came out to be $686/hour and $82,320 for those bright 30 nights. A lot of money to get in the Christmas spirit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vinny1275 Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 Everyone else in the street must dread them switching on their lights - all their household bulbs must turn brown when that lot comes online.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
husky princess Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 its great being festive but spending that kind of money on electricity when people are starving, people are being abused, people need medical treatment (also animals) plus the environment cant afford for such electricity to be used in this way....utter madness on behalf of everyone and everyone in the future.

Sqwidge Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 This is round the corner from my mum - they do it every year and have a charity box outside the house for people to pay into. It was once stolen, which is really horrific. Their front garden is basically open for people to go in and look around, mum took Josh down the other night when mikey and i were painting the town red lol! http://northwood.uxbridgegazette.co.uk/2010/11/festive-lights-officially-swit.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
