Walnut Creek: Lower Your Holiday Lighting Bill

WALNUT CREEK, CA — Replacing old conventional holiday lights with LED lights is one easy way to achieve energy savings this holiday season.

According to the US Department of Energy, LED strings can reduce energy use by 90 percent and can shine for up to 40 holiday seasons. Using energy-efficient LED lights mean less carbon emissions from power plants because less electricity needs to be produced.

LEDs are also safer to use, sturdier, and more durable.

To estimate your savings by switching to LEDs or learn how to recycle old LED strings, visit the Energy Upgrade California website.

This holiday season, choose LED lighting to stay safe, lower your energy costs, and reduce air pollution!
