Everyone thinks of chocolates and red roses for Valentine's Day. But there are other ways to show your Valentine how much you care that will create wonderful memories for years to come. Create a romantic atmosphere using LED lights and exquisite faux roses easily and economically. These unique Valentine's Day decoration ideas will set the mood for the most romantic evening ever!
DECORATING WITH LIGHTS
The right lighting is an important part of a romantic Valentine's Day dinner setting. Here are some different ways to create a romantic mood to enhance your evening.
Red Balloon Lights in Heart Shaped Balloons
Balloon lights are small LED lights that fit inside almost any type of balloon. They are battery operated and last an average of 12 hours. What better a way to say "Happy Valentine's Day" than some heart shaped balloons with brilliant red lights shining from within. They can be set to blink or stay on a steady glow. How unforgettable is that? When the batteries are exhausted you can purchase more, so you can save them for a surprise party, birthday or other upcoming event.
Red LED Mini Lights
Get some unique garland (perhaps heart-themed or faux rose) and intertwine some red LED mini lights through it. Decorate the dining room with the LED accented garland and a romantic candle centerpiece for the table. The warm glow of the candles and the romantic red brilliance of the LED's are the perfect way to set the mood for a special Valentine's Day dinner.
Heart Shaped Rope Light Motifs
Surprise your Valentine by hanging one of these beautiful bright red heart shaped rope lights in the window or door. They'll shine almost as brightly as the smile on your Valentine's face and make for a truly memorable tradition for years to come.
FAUX ROSES vs. REAL ROSES
The cost of a dozen red roses seems to increase every year. Red roses are beautiful, but only last a limited time. How about a beautifully made faux rose table arrangement? They are so realistic and will grace any Valentine's Day dinner table. With some carefully arranged candles you can easily make a gorgeous centerpiece.
You can also adorn your an interior wall with a heart shaped faux red hydrangea wreath. Once again, red mini lights accenting the wreath would make a gorgeous Valentine's Day decoration anywhere inside your home.
Either of these faux rose ideas will cost the same or maybe even less than real roses and your Valentine gets to treasure them for years to come.
Yes, chocolates and red roses are definitely the traditional way of Valentine's Day gift giving and celebrating. This year, stand out from the rest and decorate with unique lighting, a great new twist on balloons and some exquisite faux roses to give your Valentine a truly romantic Valentine's Day they'll remember. They'll have keepsakes to cherish for years to come and you've made some wonderful and lasting memories.

So how do LED lights work?
Before we answer that lets look at how traditional bulbs work
In a traditional bulb there is a wire filament, basically a very thin coiled wire. When a current is passed through it gets hot and so glows. Just like the ring on an electric stove glows when turned on. A lot of energy is wasted in these bulbs as a lot of the energy is turned into heat, which is great for a stove, not so great for a light source.
Traditional bulbs ruled the roost for many years till Compact Fluorescent Lamps CFL’s came along. CFs contain no filament and are a bit more complex. Basically the bulb contains a mix of argon gas and mercury vapor. When a current passes through this mix if produces ultraviolet light. This is not much use for our eyes but the inside of the tubes are coated with phosphorus. Ultraviolet light excites the phosphorus which gives off a bright white light. CFL’s are more efficient than traditional filament bulbs, but they do still waste energy in the form of heat and there are environmental concerns with the use of mercury in their manufacture. They do cost more but their longer life means that you do save money in the long run
Light Emitting Diodes LEDS are the new contenders for lighting your home and office. An LED is made by join two materials which have very special properties. N-types have extra electrons and P-Types which are missing electrons. A match made in heaven. Putting a current though these two materials helps the spare electrons flow from the N type to the P type. When the electrons join onto the P-type energy is released in the form of light. The colour of light that is produced depends upon the materials used . This is why so many products originally had red LEDS as it was much easier to make red ones. Now its possible to make a range of colours. White is produced by our old friend phosphorus.
So why are LEDs so great that they get their own blog?
- They use a lot less energy than traditional bulbs and CFL’s . Good for the environment and for your electricity bill
- They last much longer than traditional bulbs and CFL’s. Good for the environment and your wallet. An LED can last over 10 years
- Less hazardous to manufacture and use. Safer for the environment and you, no dangerous vapor released or broken glass if you did manage to break one open
- Generate much less heat. Good for your fingers, safer to use around children

What is the Red, Yellow, Green LED meter in BMW?
There is a LED meter at the bottom of my 1990 BMW dashboard console under the speedometer that is red yellow and green but im not really sure what it is measuring or telling me
Those are the lights that tell you when it is time for maintenance. Green means that everything is OK and yellow means it is time to take it in for maintenance. Red means you are overdue.
These lights are on 2 different cycles. The one is for oil changes and the other is for major/minor inspections. The inspections one will come on approximately every 16-18K miles and the oil change one will be about every 9-12K miles. When the yellow light comes on, it will say whether it is for the oil or inspection cycle.
St. Peter's 62, Marist 39
Nick Leon scored 15 points and Jeron Belin added 13 as Saint Peter's routed Marist 62-39 on Friday night. The Peacocks (16-12, 11-6 Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference), coming off a 77-75 overtime loss to Buffalo, never trailed and held the Red Foxes to only one point in the first 4:52. Saint Peter's led 20-3 with 10:31 to go in the first half and went into the break ahead 36-14.
