So far, people have promised to switch more than 190,000 bulbs, cutting tons of pollution. This Christmas, pledge to switch!

Save money and cut pollution

LED string lights use much less electricity, reduce pollution from power plants and last longer.  And they stay cooler, too. While they cost more than traditional strings of lights up front, the electricity savings easily make up the cost difference within a season or two.
