Human: Do Christmas lights really last longer if you keep them on all the time?

Assistant: It depends on what sort of bulb you are using. Old-fashioned incandescent bulbs use more electricity than new LED bulbs do. They also don’t have an “on” mode or a “off” mode. They just “turn on” when they’re plugged in and “turn off” when they’re unplugged. LED bulbs only consume electricity while they’re on, so the “ON” mode can help.
