Customers of San Diego Gas and Electric in south Orange County can bring their old Christmas lights to San Juan Capistrano and trade them in for new, energy-saving LED lights — free.

The power company also will provide a free “Home Energy & Water Savings Kit,” with a low-flow showerhead and three faucet aerators, at the exchange event on Saturday, Nov. 14.

Customers can get up to three strands of the multi-colored lights, which consume as much as 90 percent less energy than ordinary Christmas lights and are cool to the touch — reducing fire hazard as well.

The company has held such events in San Diego in past years, but this is the first for San Juan.

The exchange will be held from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Ecology Center, 32701 Alipaz St. Customers must show a valid ID or a current SDG&E bill.
