Lighting – LED Bulbs
Christmas Lights

For your outdoor holiday lights, choose LED (light-emitting diode) bulbs, a new technology that provides average energy savings of 90%.

Main advantages of LED Christmas lights


Electricity consumption

On average, LED bulbs consume 90% less energy than conventional lightbulbs.

Service life

LED Christmas lights last at least seven times longer than conventional minilights.

Durability

They have no filaments or other fragile materials.

For your Christmas decorations, choose LED bulbs. You will help to reduce demand for power at a time of year when requirements are great due to the cold weather.


 Practical tips
  • Choose ENERGY STAR® qualified LED lights, which are guaranteed against all defects for at least three years.

  • Use sealed LEDs for outdoor use.

  • Check the packaging to make sure that the product is CSA, CUL or ULC approved.
