                          -LED holiday lights use 90% less energy than traditional glass holiday lights and last at least 10 times longer.
                          -LED holiday lights do not contain any glass, making them durable and safe and they produce very little heat.
                          -LED holiday lights are widely available at local retailers in a variety of colours, string lengths and bulb sizes.
                          -All collected traditional holiday lights will be recycled in an environmentally responsible manner.
                          -Exchange quantities are limited, based on a first come first served basis.  One LED set per person.
                          -Since the program was first launched in 2005, over 38,000 sets of traditional holiday lights have been collected and traded for more energy efficient lights – saving enough energy to power more than 100 average household
