Holiday Lighting Exchanges

Upcoming Events

There are currently no more lighting exchange events scheduled this year.

The holiday season brings beautiful decorations and imaginative use of holiday lights.

For those who enjoy having holiday lights on and around their homes, LED lighting can provide significant energy savings and increased safety this holiday season.

No Cost LED Holiday Lighting Exchanges

SDG&E is once again offering no cost LED holiday lights in exchange for your old incandescent holiday light strands. At our holiday lighting events, you can:

  • Exchange up to three incandescent holiday light strands* for multi-colored LED holiday light strands

New in 2009!

When you attend an LED holiday lighting exchange event, you'll receive a complimentary Home Energy & Water Savings Kit and an eco-friendly reusable shopping bag!

The kit includes a low-flow showerhead and three faucet aerators.

Benefits of LED Holiday Lights

LED holiday lights can save you a lot of energy and money when compared to traditional incandescent holiday lights.

LED holiday lights are also cool to the touch (a reduced fire hazard), making them safer for you and your family.

LED lights shine brighter and last up to 100 times longer than incandescent lights, and they can cost up to 90% less to run!
