  • How much does it cost to run fairy lights in a flat or a boat for a month?
    The cost of running fairy lights depends on their wattage and how long you keep them on. Generally, it's a relatively low cost. For a more accurate estimate, you can use an online electricity cost calculator: Festive Lights energy CALCULATOR "Modern Christmas lights use LEDs rather than filament bulbs which are less energy efficient, and even a fairly comprehensive outdoor Christmas lights display is likely to cost less than the cost of a burger and fries to power for an entire month.
