Holiday lighting safety

Keep the holiday spirit and ditch additional energy costs by using LED holiday lights.

On average, LED lights use 75% less energy than incandescent bulbs and last up to 10 years longer than regular ones. Since they generate less heat than older lights, LED’s reduce the chance of fire or injury while hanging them.

Stay on the safe side 

  • Stay away from power lines when using ladders.
  • Don't hang lights in trees near power lines.
  • Keep lights away from wrapping paper, tinsel and water.
  • Don't string lights while they're plugged in.
  • Never use electric lights on a metallic tree.  
  • Check extension cords periodically to ensure they’re not warm to the touch. 
  • Use a programmable timer to turn lights off overnight.
  • Don't leave lights on unattended.
