LED lights use up to 98 percent less electricity than older bulbs, which means fewer carbon emissions into the atmosphere. LED lights stay cool to the touch and last up to 20 times longer than traditional bulbs.
Con Edison also encourages customers to make safety a top priority when installing holiday lights, by following some simple tips:
Make sure that holiday lights carry the seal of approval of a recognized safety-testing laboratory, such as Underwriters Laboratories (UL).
Before reusing electrical devices kept in storage, inspect for worn or frayed areas and breaks or brittleness, particularly at the plugs and connections. Replace defective lights and cords. Throw out any frayed wires or extension cords.
To avoid electric overloads, use extension cords sparingly.
Outdoor displays require outdoor, exterior-rated extension cords, fixtures, and bulbs. Install or adjust outdoor electrical displays only during dry weather.
Avoid running cords under rugs, through doorways, or near furniture where they may be stepped on, tripped over, or broken.
Do not place cords around or near metal pipes, appliances, or anything that is damp or metallic. Turn off electrical devices when making adjustments.
