[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The typical yard inflatable uses 50-200 watts of electricity per hour of use. Most people deflate them at least some of the time (overnight) but will keep them inflated for at least 6-10 hours so that they get maximum enjoyment out of them (plus they look pretty dumb when they are deflated on the lawn).

If you have a bunch of these, that's a huge uptick in your power usage during the holiday season and I hope you're cutting back somewhere else to try and offset it. Or using solar powered generators in order to be carbon neutral.

Christmas lights can also consume a ton of energy (about 25 watts per 100 light strand, and most outdoor displays use a lot more than that). But not as much as the big inflatables, which will be at the tip of the range above. You can also get solar powered light strands, which I highly recommend for outdoors as they also streamline the wiring issues.[/quote]

What is this? The 1990s? My LED Christmas lights barely sip electricity. Does anyone buy incandescent anymore?[/quote]
