Energy Star Mission

ChristmasLightsEtc.com is proud to offer our customers energy saving products that carry the ENERGY STAR label. ENERGY STAR qualified products and practices meet strict energy efficiency guidelines established by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy. ENERGY STAR products help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions as well as save money through superior energy performance in residential and commercial buildings. The average home is responsible for more than twice the greenhouse gas emissions than the average car. To learn more about ENERGY STAR products and practices and changes you can adopt, please visit the ENERGY STAR website.

Energy Star Standards

In order for a product to receive the Energy Star label, specific qualifications must be met. These include:

• Nationwide energy savings must be possible
• The products must deliver all of the same features as their less efficient counterparts. Increasing energy savings can not result in a decrease in product performance.
• If initial costs are higher, investments must be recovered through decreased utility bills in a timely manner
• Testing must prove a savings in energy consumption and test product performance levels

Energy Star Products

According to the Energy Star website, even changes like switching to Energy Star qualified decorative light strings would reduce over 700 million kWh of electricity per year, and greenhouse gas emissions would be reduced by the equivalent of 100,000 cars. Imagine the savings involved once larger appliances, as well as decorative holiday items like Christmas trees and palm trees, are all Energy Star rated.

Our products showing the ENERGY STAR label can be found throughout our website. Our ENERGY STAR rated products are manufactured by Diogen, and carry an excellent manufacturer warranty. Look for the ENERGY STAR label and learn the facts before making your purchasing decision! Our rated LED lights are certified by Energy Star to reduce energy maintenance and cooling costs. LED Lights are durable and don't break like traditional bulbs, and are guaranteed. When you purchase an Energy Star rated LED light string, you are purchasing a product you can trust in.
