Decorative Light Strings

Earning the ENERGY STAR certification means the product meets strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the US Environmental Protection Agency. Lighting products that have earned the ENERGY STAR label deliver exceptional features, while using less energy. Saving energy helps you save money on utility bills and protect the environment by reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

ENERGY STAR Certified Decorative Light Strings:

• Use 75% less energy than conventional incandescent lights strands.
• Can last up to 10 times longer than traditional incandescent strands, meaning fewer light string replacements.
• 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.
• 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.
• Provide the latest features and functionalities such as dimming and color shifting.

Many ENERGY STAR certified decorative light strings feature LED technology. What is an 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.
