Yes, LED Christmas lights are safer than incandescent Christmas lights. LED lights put off far less heat than incandescent lights and are far more durable, ultimately lowering the risk of injury or accidents compared to incandescent lights.

LED lights do not get hot like incandescent lights. Incandescent light is generated by the glow of a burning filament in the bulb—the nature of incandescent light generation is heat. LED Christmas lights, instead, use a powered diode to generate light. LED lights are cool to the touch because of this core difference in light generation, while incandescent lights can get so hot as to burn skin on contact. Due to their lower heat when in use, LED Christmas lights are safe for all sorts of applications in the home around children and pets.

LED lights, especially pro-grade, are more durable than incandescent lights, resulting in lower chance of injury or accident that would occur from damaged bulbs. The bulbs of incandescent Christmas lights are made of glass, making them a potential hazard to children and pets in indoor applications. For outdoor applications, incandescent lights can also be a hazard. In very cold, freezing weather, incandescent bulbs have a chance of exploding, posing a safety risk to anyone near. The bulbs of LED Christmas lights are made from strong materials that are over 100 times more durable than glass bulbs. Christmas Designers uses a high impact epoxy resin to make Pro Christmas 5mm wide angle conical light sets for maximum durability.

Safety is key when decorating with and using Christmas lights, so be sure to inspect your light sets and replace any sets that have damaged or frayed wires to prevent the risk of electrical shock.
