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 — many which feature LED technology — consume 75% less energy than conventional incandescent lights strands.
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.

Started in the 1970s, their history is valuable for evalution and their scope is broadening to include testing of additional product categories for energy efficiency.
Energy Star Awareness and Loyalty
Statistics from a recent public survey in Canada showed that as 57% of Canadians are aware of Energy Star in some manner and the younger the respondent, the greater the awareness. The survey indicated high level of loyalty towards Energy Star, as 70% of those asked looked for the Energy Star label when making buying decisions.
