The holiday season is just around the corner and people are getting into the festive spirit, many opting to decorate their homes with seasonal lights to spread holiday cheer. But seasonal lights can also significantly add to your electricity bill.
Did you know? The amount of electricity consumed by a single 7-watt incandescent bulb could power 140 LED bulbs—enough to fill about 15 metres of strings (two 24-foot strings).
However, here’s a bright idea! Why not choose ENERGY STAR qualified DLS to decorate indoors and out?
ENERGY STAR qualified DLS are more than energy-efficient—using 95 per cent less energy than traditional DLS and saving you money. They are durable, lasting up to ten times longer than regular bulbs and produce less heat, reducing the risk of fire. They have a three-year warranty and the outdoor strings have passed weather testing. But more importantly, by dramatically reducing energy consumption, qualified DLS are environmentally friendly and can reduce greenhouse gases.
