The Christmas lights on Boulder’s Pearl Street Mall will be bigger, better and more energy-efficient this year.
The city will light up about 35 trees this holiday season, instead of the usual 19, and all of them will be wrapped in electricity-sipping LEDs.
The city spent about $10,000 dollars this year to buy 1,000 new strands of LED lights to add to the ones they’ve purchased in past years, enabling all-LED decorations.
