Decorative Light Strings
If all decorative light strings sold in America this year were ENERGY
STAR qualified, we would save over 2 billion kWh per year and
reduce greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to nearly 300,000 cars!
ENERGY STAR Qualified Decorative Light Strings:
Can last up to 10 times longer than traditional incandescent
strands.
Are cool to the touch, reducing the risk of fire.
Do not have moving parts, filaments or glass, so they are
much more durable and shock-resistant than other light
strings.
Are available in a variety of colors, shapes and lengths.
Come with a three-year warranty, meaning fewer light string
replacements.
Are independently tested to meet strict lifetime and electrical
requirements.
Products labeled for outdoor use are subjected to weathering
tests.
Some models deliver features such as dimming or color shifting.
What is a LED?
Light emitting diodes, or LEDs, are small light sources
that are illuminated by the movement of electrons through a semiconductor
material. LEDs are exceptionally energy efficient when
producing individual
colors,
many using up to 90% less energy than an incandescent bulb
to produce the same amount of light. For example, the amount
of electricity consumed by
just one 7-watt incandescent bulb could power 140 LEDs
— enough to light two 24-foot (7.3-meter) strings.
