EFFICIENT HOLIDAY LIGHTING Decking the halls doesn’t have to take a toll on your energy bill! Keep your holiday ligh ng merry, bright and energy efficient with LED light strands.

Consider replacing older strands with new ENERGY STAR LED lights, LED strands are 70 percent more efficient and last 10 mes longer than the age-old standard bulbs.

You can get the cozy ligh ng with LEDs. Just look for “warm white” on the label.

LED lights give off virtually no heat, making them safer for kids and pets (and reindeer).

Save energy by se ng a mer for outdoor ligh ng and decora ons. Program the mer so the lights turn on in the evening and turn off later at night when you typically go to sleep.
