Shoppers are rushing to DIY giant B&Q to get their hands on £6.75 lights that can light up your home for pennies. With Christmas fast-approaching and the cost of living crisis only worsening, people are pinching their purse strings more tightly than ever - so it's no wonder the budget lights have gone down such a storm.
B&Q's 120 Warm white LED String lights with Clear cable were £9, but have been reduced to £6.75. While they have been designed for a Christmas tree, many shoppers are using them to light up their living rooms, bedrooms and kitchens as they cost just pennies to run.
The B&Q lights cost 50p to run for an hour. People say they give a gorgeous warm glow, and provide just the right level of brightness. The calculation is based on current GB’s energy cap of £0.34 per kWh and NW’s standard home energy tariff of £0.295 per kWh from 1 October.
